 # Frontear's Dotfiles
 
-Massively WIP!
+Declarative and reproducible configuration for my systems, powered by NixOS ❄️.
 
-## License
+## Installation
+
+1. Build the latest ISO image through Nix:
+
+    ```console
+    $ nix build github:Frontear/dotfiles#ISO-3DT4F02.config.system.build.isoImage
+    ```
+
+    Then, copy it to a USB drive and boot from it.
+
+2. Create the expected partition table using the following script:
+    ```bash
+    #!/usr/bin/env bash
+
+    # NOTE: run this as root.
+
+    # Declare the target disk ahead-of-time
+    export DISK="/dev/<DEVICE>" # e.g. /dev/sda, /dev/nvme0n1, ...
+
+    # Wipe all existing partitions from the drive
+    sfdisk --delete "$DISK"
+
+    # Use the GPT partition layout
+    sfdisk "$DISK" <<< "label: gpt"
+
+    # Create the EFI partition
+    sfdisk --append "$DISK" <<< ",1G,U"
 
-> [!WARNING]
-> I do not encourage you to use any of the code in this repository, as it's
-> extremely personalized and not intended to work or be used outside of this
-> context.
+    # Create the Nix partition
+    sfdisk --append "$DISK" <<< ",,L"
 
-All of the content in this repository is subject to the GNU AGPL v3 or later.
+    # Label the newly created partitions
+    sfdisk --part-label "$DISK" 1 "boot"
+    sfdisk --part-label "$DISK" 2 "nix"
+    ```
+
+3. Format the created partitions with the expected fs types:
+
+    ```console
+    $ wipefs --all /dev/disk/by-partlabel/boot
+    $ wipefs --all /dev/disk/by-partlabel/nix
+    $ mkfs.fat -F 32 /dev/disk/by-partlabel/boot
+    $ mkfs.btrfs -n 64k /dev/disk/by-partlabel/nix
+    ```
+
+4. Mount them into `/mnt` for the installer:
+
+    ```console
+    $ mount -t tmpfs -o mode=0755,noatime,noswap,size=1G tmpfs /mnt --mkdir
+    $ mount -o dmask=0022,fmask=0022,noatime /dev/disk/by-partlabel/boot /mnt/boot --mkdir
+    $ mount -o compress=zstd:15,noatime /dev/disk/by-partlabel/nix /mnt/nix --mkdir
+    ```
+
+5. Install configuration to target root in `/mnt`:
+
+   ```console
+   $ nixos-install --flake "github:Frontear/dotfiles#<HOST>" --no-channel-copy --no-root-password
+   ```

-As an added clause, I'd appreciate any code which is derived from my works and
-improves upon my code to be pull requested back onto this repository. This is
-not a legally-binding requirement, and as such not an extension of the AGPL, but
-something I humbly request as the code author.
