+<p>Do you manage a <code>.zshrc</code>? <code>.vimrc</code>? <code>tmux.conf</code>? Do you have dozens of configuration files that you manage in a git repo? Or maybe you don&rsquo;t backup any of your configuration at all? Do you also have a bunch of command line utilities that you forget you installed? Or don&rsquo;t remember why you installed them?</p>
+<p>Over the years I have collected a number of dotfiles that I have shared across both Linux and macOS machines. I have tried several different ways to manage them, including <a href=https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/dotfiles>bare git repos</a> and utilities such as <a href=https://www.gnu.org/software/stow/>GNU Stow</a>. These solutions work well enough, but I have since found what I would consider a much better solution for organizing user configuration: <a href=https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager>home-manager</a>.</p>
+<h2 id=what-is-home-manager>What is home-manager?</h2>
+<p>Before understanding home-manager, it is worth briefly discussing what nix is. <a href=https://nixos.org/>nix</a> is a package manager that original spawned from a <a href=https://edolstra.github.io/pubs/phd-thesis.pdf>PhD thesis</a>. Unlike other package managers, it uses symbolic links to keep track of the currently installed packages, keeping around the old ones in case you may want to rollback.</p>
+<p>For example, I have used nix to install the package <a href="https://search.nixos.org/packages?channel=unstable&show=bind&from=0&size=50&sort=relevance&type=packages&query=bind">bind</a> which includes <code>dig</code>. You can see that it is available on multiple platforms. The absolute path of <code>dig</code> can be found by running:</p>
+<pre tabindex=0><code class=language-console data-lang=console>❯ ls -lh $(which dig)
+lrwxr-xr-x 73 root 31 Dec  1969 /run/current-system/sw/bin/dig -&gt; /nix/store/0r4qdyprljd3dki57jn6c6a8dh2rbg9g-bind-9.16.16-dnsutils/bin/dig
+</code></pre><p>Notice that there is a hash included in file path? This is nix store path and is computed by the nix package manager. This <a href=https://nixos.org/guides/nix-pills/nix-store-paths.html>nix pill</a> does a good job explaining how this hash is computed. All of the nix pills are worth a read, if you are interested in learning more about nix itself. However, using home-manager does not require extensive knowledge of nix.</p>
+<p>Part of the nix ecosystem includes <a href=https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs>nixpkgs</a>. Many popular tools can be found already packaged in this repository. As you can see with these <a href=https://repology.org/repositories/statistics/total>stats</a>, there is a large number of existing packages that are being maintained by the community. Contributing a new package is easy, and anyone can do it!</p>
+<p>home-manager leverages the nix package manager (and nixpkgs), as well the nix language so that you can declaratively define your system configuration. I store my <a href=https://github.com/davegallant/nix-config>nix-config</a> in git so that I can keep track of my packages and configurations, and retain a clean and informative git commit history so that I can understand what changed and why.</p>
+<h2 id=setting-up-home-manager>Setting up home-manager</h2>
+<blockquote>
+<p>⚠️ If you run this on your main machine, make sure you backup your configuration files first. home-manager is pretty good about not overwriting existing configuration, but it is better to have a backup! Alternatively, you could test this out on a VM or cloud instance.</p>
+</blockquote>
+<p>The first thing you should do is <a href=https://nixos.org/guides/install-nix.html>install nix</a>:</p>
+<div class=highlight><pre tabindex=0 style=color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4><code class=language-shell data-lang=shell>curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh
+</code></pre></div><p>It&rsquo;s not a good idea to curl and execute random files from the internet, so you might want to download the install script first and take a peak before executing it!</p>
+<p>Open up a new shell in your terminal and running <code>nix</code> <em>should</em> work. If not, run <code>. ~/.nix-profile/etc/profile.d/nix.sh</code></p>
+<p>Now, <a href=https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager#installation>install home-manager</a>:</p>
+<div class=highlight><pre tabindex=0 style=color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4><code class=language-shell data-lang=shell>nix-channel --add https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/archive/master.tar.gz home-manager
+nix-channel --update
+nix-shell <span style=color:#e6db74>&#39;&lt;home-manager&gt;&#39;</span> -A install
+</code></pre></div><p>You should see a wave of <code>/nix/store/*</code> paths being displayed on your screen.</p>
+<p>Now, to start off with a basic configuration, open up <code>~/.config/nixpkgs/home.nix</code> in the editor of your choice and paste this in (you will want to change <code>userName</code> and <code>homeDirectory</code>):</p>
+<div class=highlight><pre tabindex=0 style=color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4><code class=language-nix data-lang=nix>{ config<span style=color:#f92672>,</span> pkgs<span style=color:#f92672>,</span> <span style=color:#f92672>...</span> }:

Ad blocker? Web server? Are you interested in learning more about Linux? Virtualization? Networking? Security? Building a homelab can be an entertaining playground to enhance your computer skills.\nOne of the best parts about building a homelab is that it doesn\u0026rsquo;t have to be a large investment in terms hardware.\nOne of the simplest ways to build a homelab is out of a refurbished computer. Having multiple machines/nodes provides the advantage of increased redundancy, but starting out with a single node is enough to reap many of the benefits of having a homelab.\nVirtualization Virtualizing your hardware is an organized way of dividing up your machine\u0026rsquo;s resources. This can be done with something such as a Virtual Machine or something lighter like a container using LXC or runC. Containers have much less overhead in terms of boot time and storage allocation. This Stack Overflow answer sums it up nicely.\nA hypervisor such as Proxmox can be installed in minutes on a new machine. It provides a web interface and a straight-forward way to spin up new VMs and containers. You\u0026rsquo;ll want to ensure that VT-d and VT-X are enabled in the BIOS if you decide to install a hypervisor to manage your virtualization.\nServices So what are some useful services to deploy?\n Plex - basically a self-hosted Netflix that can be used to stream from multiple devices, and the best part is that you manage the content! changedetection - is a self-hosted equivalent to something like visualping.io that will notify you when a webpage changes and keep track of the diffs Adguard or Pihole - can block a list of known trackers for all clients on your local network. I\u0026rsquo;ve used pihole for a long time, but have recently switched to Adguard since the UI is more modern and it has the ability to toggle on/off a pre-defined list of services, including Netflix (this is useful if you have stealthy young kids). Either of these will speed up your internet experience, simply because you won\u0026rsquo;t need to download all of the extra tracking bloat.  There is a large number of services you can self-host, including your own applications that you might be developing. awesome-self-hosted provides a curated list of services that might be of interest to you.\nVPN You could certainly setup and manage your own VPN by using something like OpenVPN, but there is also something else you can try: tailscale. It is a very quick way to create fully-encrypted connections between clients. And by using its MagicDNS, it is a truly magical solution. If one of your nodes has a hostname of plex, you can simply access it by referring to its hostname (i.e ssh plex@plex). This way you can create a secure tunnel to your homelab from anywhere in the world!\nMonitoring Monitoring can become an important aspect of your homelab after it starts to become something that is relied upon. One of the simplest ways to setup some monitoring is using netdata. It can be installed on individual containers, VMs, and also a hypervisor (such as Proxmox). All of the monitoring works out of the box by detecting disks, memory, network interfaces, etc.\nAdditionally, all of these different agents can be connected to netdata cloud, which can alert you when some of your infrastructure is down or in a degraded state. Adding additional nodes to netdata cloud is as simple as a 1 line shell command.\nGrafana is another popular way of visualizing metrics, although it requires more initial setup.\nIn Summary Building out a homelab can be incredibly rewarding and it doesn\u0026rsquo;t always require buying a rack full of expensive servers to get a significant amount of utility.\n","href":"/blog/2021/09/06/what-to-do-with-a-homelab/","title":"What To Do With A Homelab"},{"content":"AppGate SDP provides a Zero Trust network.

Do you have dozens of configuration files that you manage in a git repo? Or maybe you don\u0026rsquo;t backup any of your configuration at all? Do you also have a bunch of command line utilities that you forget you installed? Or don\u0026rsquo;t remember why you installed them?\nOver the years I have collected a number of dotfiles that I have shared across both Linux and macOS machines. I have tried several different ways to manage them, including bare git repos and utilities such as GNU Stow. These solutions work well enough, but I have since found what I would consider a much better solution for organizing user configuration: home-manager.\nWhat is home-manager? Before understanding home-manager, it is worth briefly discussing what nix is. nix is a package manager that original spawned from a PhD thesis. Unlike other package managers, it uses symbolic links to keep track of the currently installed packages, keeping around the old ones in case you may want to rollback.\nFor example, I have used nix to install the package bind which includes dig. You can see that it is available on multiple platforms. The absolute path of dig can be found by running:\n❯ ls -lh $(which dig) lrwxr-xr-x 73 root 31 Dec 1969 /run/current-system/sw/bin/dig -\u0026gt; /nix/store/0r4qdyprljd3dki57jn6c6a8dh2rbg9g-bind-9.16.16-dnsutils/bin/dig Notice that there is a hash included in file path? This is nix store path and is computed by the nix package manager. This nix pill does a good job explaining how this hash is computed. All of the nix pills are worth a read, if you are interested in learning more about nix itself. However, using home-manager does not require extensive knowledge of nix.\nPart of the nix ecosystem includes nixpkgs. Many popular tools can be found already packaged in this repository. As you can see with these stats, there is a large number of existing packages that are being maintained by the community. Contributing a new package is easy, and anyone can do it!\nhome-manager leverages the nix package manager (and nixpkgs), as well the nix language so that you can declaratively define your system configuration. I store my nix-config in git so that I can keep track of my packages and configurations, and retain a clean and informative git commit history so that I can understand what changed and why.\nSetting up home-manager  ⚠️ If you run this on your main machine, make sure you backup your configuration files first. home-manager is pretty good about not overwriting existing configuration, but it is better to have a backup! Alternatively, you could test this out on a VM or cloud instance.\n The first thing you should do is install nix:\ncurl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh It\u0026rsquo;s not a good idea to curl and execute random files from the internet, so you might want to download the install script first and take a peak before executing it!\nOpen up a new shell in your terminal and running nix should work. If not, run . ~/.nix-profile/etc/profile.d/nix.sh\nNow, install home-manager:\nnix-channel --add https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/archive/master.tar.gz home-manager nix-channel --update nix-shell \u0026#39;\u0026lt;home-manager\u0026gt;\u0026#39; -A install You should see a wave of /nix/store/* paths being displayed on your screen.\nNow, to start off with a basic configuration, open up ~/.config/nixpkgs/home.nix in the editor of your choice and paste this in (you will want to change userName and homeDirectory):\n{ config, pkgs, ... }: { programs.home-manager.enable = true; home = { username = \u0026#34;dave\u0026#34;; homeDirectory = \u0026#34;/home/dave\u0026#34;; stateVersion = \u0026#34;21.11\u0026#34;; packages = with pkgs; [ bind exa fd ripgrep ]; }; programs = { git = { enable = true; aliases = { \u0026#34;aa\u0026#34; = \u0026#34;add -A .\u0026#34;; \u0026#34;br\u0026#34; = \u0026#34;branch\u0026#34;; \u0026#34;c\u0026#34; = \u0026#34;commit -S\u0026#34;; \u0026#34;ca\u0026#34; = \u0026#34;commit -S --amend\u0026#34;; \u0026#34;cb\u0026#34; = \u0026#34;checkout -b\u0026#34;; \u0026#34;co\u0026#34; = \u0026#34;checkout\u0026#34;; \u0026#34;d\u0026#34; = \u0026#34;diff\u0026#34;; \u0026#34;l\u0026#34; = \u0026#34;log --graph --pretty=format:\u0026#39;%Cred%h%Creset -%C(yellow)%d%Creset %s %Cgreen(%cr) %C(bold blue)\u0026lt;%an\u0026gt;%Creset\u0026#39; --abbrev-commit\u0026#34;; }; delta = { enable = true; options = { features = \u0026#34;line-numbers decorations\u0026#34;; whitespace-error-style = \u0026#34;22 reverse\u0026#34;; plus-style = \u0026#34;green bold ul \u0026#39;#198214\u0026#39;\u0026#34;; decorations = { commit-decoration-style = \u0026#34;bold yellow box ul\u0026#34;; file-style = \u0026#34;bold yellow ul\u0026#34;; file-decoration-style = \u0026#34;none\u0026#34;; }; }; }; extraConfig = { push = { default = \u0026#34;current\u0026#34;; }; pull = { rebase = true; }; }; }; starship = { enable = true; enableZshIntegration = true; settings = { add_newline = false; gcloud = { disabled = true; }; scan_timeout = 10; character = { error_symbol = \u0026#34;[✖](bold red)\u0026#34;; }; }; }; zsh = { enable = true; enableAutosuggestions = true; enableSyntaxHighlighting = true; history.size = 1000000; localVariables = { CASE_SENSITIVE = \u0026#34;true\u0026#34;; DISABLE_UNTRACKED_FILES_DIRTY = \u0026#34;true\u0026#34;; RPROMPT = \u0026#34;\u0026#34;; ZSH_AUTOSUGGEST_HIGHLIGHT_STYLE = \u0026#34;fg=#838383,underline\u0026#34;; ZSH_DISABLE_COMPFIX = \u0026#34;true\u0026#34;; }; initExtra = \u0026#39;\u0026#39; export PAGER=less \u0026#39;\u0026#39;; shellAliases = { \u0026#34;..\u0026#34; = \u0026#34;cd ..\u0026#34;; grep = \u0026#34;rg --smart-case\u0026#34;; ls = \u0026#34;exa -la --git\u0026#34;; }; \u0026#34;oh-my-zsh\u0026#34; = { enable = true; plugins = [ \u0026#34;last-working-dir\u0026#34; ]; }; }; }; } Save the file and run:\nhome-manager switch You should see another wave of /nix/store/* paths. The new configuration should now be active.\nIf you run zsh, you should see that you have starship and access to several other utils such as rg, fd, and exa.\nThis basic configuration above is also defining your ~/.config/git/config and .zshrc. If you already have either of these files, home-manager will complain about them already existing.\nIf you take cat ~/.zshrc, you will see the way these configuration files are generated.\nWrapping up And that is how you can get started defining your user configuration with home-manager. You can extend this configuration for programs such as (neo)vim, emacs, alacritty, ssh, etc. To see other programs, take a look at home-manager/modules/programs.\n","href":"/blog/2021/09/08/why-i-threw-out-my-dotfiles/","title":"Why I Threw Out My Dotfiles"},{"content":"","href":"/tags/adguard/","title":"adguard"},{"content":"","href":"/tags/homelab/","title":"homelab"},{"content":"","href":"/tags/linux/","title":"linux"},{"content":"","href":"/tags/netdata/","title":"netdata"},{"content":"","href":"/tags/pihole/","title":"pihole"},{"content":"","href":"/tags/plex/","title":"plex"},{"content":"","href":"/tags/tailscale/","title":"tailscale"},{"content":"","href":"/tags/virtualization/","title":"virtualization"},{"content":"A homelab can be an inexpensive way to host a multitude of internal/external services and learn a lot in the process.\nDo you want host your own Media server? Ad blocker? Web server? Are you interested in learning more about Linux? Virtualization? Networking? Security? Building a homelab can be an entertaining playground to enhance your computer skills.\nOne of the best parts about building a homelab is that it doesn\u0026rsquo;t have to be a large investment in terms hardware.\nOne of the simplest ways to build a homelab is out of a refurbished computer. Having multiple machines/nodes provides the advantage of increased redundancy, but starting out with a single node is enough to reap many of the benefits of having a homelab.\nVirtualization Virtualizing your hardware is an organized way of dividing up your machine\u0026rsquo;s resources. This can be done with something such as a Virtual Machine or something lighter like a container using LXC or runC. Containers have much less overhead in terms of boot time and storage allocation. This Stack Overflow answer sums it up nicely.\nA hypervisor such as Proxmox can be installed in minutes on a new machine. It provides a web interface and a straight-forward way to spin up new VMs and containers. You\u0026rsquo;ll want to ensure that VT-d and VT-X are enabled in the BIOS if you decide to install a hypervisor to manage your virtualization.\nServices So what are some useful services to deploy?\n Plex - basically a self-hosted Netflix that can be used to stream from multiple devices, and the best part is that you manage the content! changedetection - is a self-hosted equivalent to something like visualping.io that will notify you when a webpage changes and keep track of the diffs Adguard or Pihole - can block a list of known trackers for all clients on your local network. I\u0026rsquo;ve used pihole for a long time, but have recently switched to Adguard since the UI is more modern and it has the ability to toggle on/off a pre-defined list of services, including Netflix (this is useful if you have stealthy young kids). Either of these will speed up your internet experience, simply because you won\u0026rsquo;t need to download all of the extra tracking bloat.  There is a large number of services you can self-host, including your own applications that you might be developing. awesome-self-hosted provides a curated list of services that might be of interest to you.\nVPN You could certainly setup and manage your own VPN by using something like OpenVPN, but there is also something else you can try: tailscale. It is a very quick way to create fully-encrypted connections between clients. And by using its MagicDNS, it is a truly magical solution. If one of your nodes has a hostname of plex, you can simply access it by referring to its hostname (i.e ssh plex@plex). This way you can create a secure tunnel to your homelab from anywhere in the world!\nMonitoring Monitoring can become an important aspect of your homelab after it starts to become something that is relied upon. One of the simplest ways to setup some monitoring is using netdata. It can be installed on individual containers, VMs, and also a hypervisor (such as Proxmox). All of the monitoring works out of the box by detecting disks, memory, network interfaces, etc.\nAdditionally, all of these different agents can be connected to netdata cloud, which can alert you when some of your infrastructure is down or in a degraded state. Adding additional nodes to netdata cloud is as simple as a 1 line shell command.\nGrafana is another popular way of visualizing metrics, although it requires more initial setup.\nIn Summary Building out a homelab can be incredibly rewarding and it doesn\u0026rsquo;t always require buying a rack full of expensive servers to get a significant amount of utility.\n","href":"/blog/2021/09/06/what-to-do-with-a-homelab/","title":"What To Do With A Homelab"},{"content":"AppGate SDP provides a Zero Trust network.
