* Bootloaders and Filesystems
|
||
This page sets up the bootloader of my machines. Whilst I generally
|
||
prefer to use [[https://systemd.io/BOOT/][systemd-boot]], some of my VPS use GRUB, and some use ZFS.
|
||
All that gets exposed with my module =nixos.loader=.
|
||
|
||
#+begin_src nix :tangle loader.new.nix
|
||
{
|
||
flake.modules.nixos.loader = {
|
||
lib,
|
||
config,
|
||
...
|
||
}:
|
||
with lib; let
|
||
cfg = config.mySystem.boot;
|
||
in {
|
||
|
||
};
|
||
}

** Bootloaders
|
||
By default, I want to use systemd-boot on my machines, but I need it
|
||
to be disabled whenever I use something else. For now, this “something
|
||
else” is only GRUB, but I’m not excluding using something else on yet
|
||
another machine such as [[https://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/][rEFInd]]. To ensure a single source of truth
|
||
regarding whether systemd-boot is to be used, I have an option for
|
||
that.
|
||
#+name: systemd-boot-options
|
||
#+begin_src nix
|
||
options.mySystem.boot.systemd-boot = mkOption {
|
||
type = types.bool;
|
||
default = !cfg.grub.enable;
|
||
description = "Does the system use systemd-boot?";
|
||
};
|
||
#+end_src
|
||
|
||
I can now set some options depending on that, such as whether to
|
||
enable systemd-boot itself (duh), and whether the installation process
|
||
can touch my EFI variables.
|
||
#+name: systemd-boot-config
|
||
#+begin_src nix
|
||
config.boot.loader = {
|
||
systemd-boot.enable = cfg.systemd-boot;
|
||
efi.canTouchEfiVariables = cfg.systemd-boot;
|
||
};
|
||
#+end_src
|
||
|
||
But, I have a VPS that requires me to use GRUB. For this, I also have
|
||
an option to enable it.
|
||
#+name: grub-options
|
||
#+begin_src nix
|
||
options.mySystem.boot.grub = {
|
||
enable = mkEnableOption "Does the system use GRUB? (Disables systemd-boot)";
|
||
device = mkOption {
|
||
type = types.path;
|
||
description = "The GRUB device";
|
||
default = "";
|
||
};
|
||
};
|
||
#+end_src
|
||
|
||
I can no pass these options to the boot configuration of my machine.
|
||
#+name: grub-config
|
||
#+begin_src nix
|
||
config.boot.loader.grub = mkIf cfg.grub.enable {
|
||
inherit (cfg.grub) enable device;
|
||
};
|
||
#+end_src
|
||
|
||
** ZFS
|
||
Now, this is where I enable
