# garden
Hosts in this repo are named after plants and flowers.
## hosts
### poppy *(active)*
- **role:** MacBook Air M1, personal/work machine
- **system:** nix-darwin, aarch64-darwin
- **location:** daily driver
### muscari *(planned migration)*
- **role:** linux server, k3s cluster
- **system:** NixOS, x86_64-linux
- **location:** iscg infra
### rosemary *(planned)*
- **role:** backup VM
- **system:** NixOS, x86_64-linux
## structure
- `flake.nix` — entry point, dispatches `mkNixos` and `mkDarwin` per host
- `hosts/<name>/default.nix` — per-host config
- `hosts/common/default.nix` — shared NixOS config
- `hosts/common-darwin/default.nix` — shared darwin config
- `home/default.nix` — shared home-manager config for user `michaotic` (plan to migrate to `mikl` later)
- `secrets/` — sops-encrypted secrets per host
## documentation
notes are split by topic under `docs/`:
- `docs/structure.md` — high-level overview, where things go
- `docs/poppy.md` — MacBook specific (homebrew, system defaults)
- `docs/muscari.md` — server + k3s specifics
- `docs/shell.md` — zsh, pure prompt, plugins
- `docs/terminal.md` — kitty + catppuccin theme
- `docs/cheatsheet.md` — quick commands reference
when adding a new host: copy `docs/structure.md` template, document hostname, role, packages unique to it.
## migrations
- `nix-config-legacy/` — previous muscari-only config (preserved for reference)
## future plans
### username migration
currently using `michaotic` as username (historical). plan to migrate to `mikl` across all hosts for consistency.
**why not now:**
- macOS: changing username requires careful handling of home folder, keychain, permissions
- linux: easier, but better to do in one coordinated change
**when:** after setting up proper backups and testing migration procedure
### rosemary setup
currently `flake.nix` has `rosemary` commented out. need to:
- add disk config (likely similar to muscari)
- add users.users.michaotic.openssh.authorizedKeys
- test `nix flake check`
### documentation improvements
- [ ] create `docs/bootstrap.md` — manual setup guide for fresh device without nix (emergency fallback)
- list all CLI tools and how to install via brew/pnpm
- list all system defaults that need manual configuration
- explain which tools are nix-managed vs brew-managed
- [ ] create `docs/adding-host.md` — checklist for adding a new host
- [ ] create `docs/secrets.md` — sops-nix setup when we get there
- [ ] add migration notes to `docs/structure.md` as we learn patterns
- [ ] screenshots/notes for things that aren't obvious (e.g. dock layout)
