- Change the password -> Change the initial password “nixos” to something else using
sudo passwd.
- Set your timezone -> vodots avoids setting timezones so a user can easily set it imperatively. It’s just a single command you have to run like, once anyways. Use
timedatectl set-timezone to set your timezone to whatever e.g. timedatectl set-timezone Europe/London for if you’re living in the United Kingdom. To know what timezone to use, I recommend googling a bit you’ll probably find your answer.
- Updating vodots -> Just
cd into vodots and do a nix flake update. I don’t always update my flake so yeah.
- Configuring stuff -> Configure Niri, Kitty and DMS by yourself. Their configurations aren’t managed by Nix. I’m still working on how they should be configured.
- Check hosts -> Go through the host configuration and make whatever changes you want e.g. adding/removing flake-parts modules to enable/disable functionality offered by vodots.
