## Maintenance Notes
|
|
|
|
**NixOS rebuild:** From the blumeops repo, run `mise run provision-ringtail` or on ringtail directly:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake /etc/nixos#ringtail
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**NVIDIA drivers:** Uses proprietary (closed-source) drivers. The `--unsupported-gpu` flag is passed to sway via greetd since sway officially only supports open-source drivers.
|
|
|
|
**Chezmoi:** The dotfiles repo (`github.com/eblume/dotfiles`) is macOS-centric. A `.chezmoiignore` needs to be added to skip macOS-only files on Linux (Brewfile, macOS-specific PATH/SSH_AUTH_SOCK). This is tracked as a separate task outside blumeops.
