what it manages

host	platform	flake attr	role
anix	nixos (x86_64-linux)	.#anix	bare-metal desktop + gaming host
apc	nixos (x86_64-linux) on wsl	.#apc	wsl2 / wslg build host
amac	nix-darwin (x86_64-darwin)	.#amac	macos build server

all hosts use lix, with nix as a fallback.

quickstart

# linux & macos
curl -fsSL "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/win0na/anix/main/scripts/install-anix" | bash

# windows 11
irm "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/win0na/anix/main/scripts/install-apc.ps1" | iex

llm install (copy/paste)

Fetch and run this bootstrap script:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/win0na/anix/main/scripts/install-anix

rebuild

use sw where the alias exists.

if all else fails:

# in anix's working directory (def: $HOME/anix)
sudo env ANIX_INSTALL_OPTIONS_FILE=/etc/anix/install-options.json nixos-rebuild switch --impure --flake .#anix
sudo env ANIX_INSTALL_OPTIONS_FILE=/etc/anix/install-options.json nixos-rebuild switch --impure --flake .#apc
sudo env ANIX_INSTALL_OPTIONS_FILE=/etc/anix/install-options.json darwin-rebuild switch --impure --flake .#amac

deploy

anix (via nixos-anywhere)

# on the target machine:

# boot into a nixos installer and set a root password.
sudo passwd root

# note the ipv4/6 address before continuing
ip addr

# on the source machine:

# set the following variables.
targetHost="root@<IP_ADDRESS_OF_TARGET>"
targetPassword="<TARGET_PASSWORD>"

# this path assumes the target install disk matches nixos/default-disko.nix.
# verify the disk path yourself before installing.

# then run:
tmpDir="$(mktemp -d)/anix"
git clone https://github.com/win0na/anix.git "$tmpDir" && cd "$tmpDir"
SSHPASS="$targetPassword" nix run github:nix-community/nixos-anywhere -- \
  --env-password \
  --generate-hardware-config nixos-facter ./facter.json \
  --flake .#anix \
  --target-host "$targetHost"

common commands

nix fmt                 # format nix files
nix flake update        # update flake inputs
mas upgrade             # upgrade app store apps on amac

notable bits

• anix uses disko in the live-installer anix flow with an explicit destructive confirmation prompt

• apc requires mirrored networking from windows via %UserProfile%\.wslconfig:

  [wsl2]
  networkingMode=Mirrored
  dnsTunneling=true

• apc can bootstrap from Windows first, then continue inside the NixOS-WSL guest

• amac checks for brew, mas, and nix/lix before rebuilding

• anix and apc use ollama-rocm

• amac runs ollama serve via launchd

• opencode config is declarative; auth and runtime caches are intentionally unmanaged

• zsh is managed through home manager with oh-my-zsh + the headline theme
