# Scobleclaw Laptop Config
Nix flake that reproduces MacBook software capabilities on an x86\_64 NixOS laptop.
## What it installs
| Tool | Purpose | Source |
|------|---------|--------|
| **pi** | Coding agent (TUI) | `sscoble/pi-mono` (Forgejo mirror of `badlogic/pi-mono`) |
| **qmd** | Vault search | `@tobilu/qmd` (npm, wrapped via bunx) |
| **git** | Version control | nixpkgs |
| **nodejs** | JavaScript runtime | nixpkgs |
| **bun** | Fast JS runtime + bundler | nixpkgs |
| **zsh** | Shell (+ oh-my-zsh, autosuggestions, syntax highlighting) | nixpkgs |
| **python3 + uv** | Python tooling | nixpkgs |
| **docker** | Containers | nixpkgs |
| **tailscale** | Mesh VPN | nixpkgs |
| **ripgrep, fd, jq, bat, eza, delta** | Modern CLI tools | nixpkgs |
| **tmux** | Terminal multiplexer | nixpkgs |
| **nerd fonts** | JetBrains Mono, Fira Code | nixpkgs |
## First-time setup (new laptop)
```bash
# 1. Install NixOS (minimal ISO)
# 2. Clone this repo
git clone https://os.scoble.me/forgejo/sscoble/laptop-config.git ~/laptop-config
# 3. First build (this will fail — copy the npmDepsHash from error output)
nix build ~/laptop-config#pi-coding-agent
# 4. Edit flake.nix: set npmDepsHash to the value from step 3
# 5. Rebuild system
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake ~/laptop-config#laptop
# 6. Restore personal configs
# Copy from backup:
# ~/.pi/agent/SYSTEM.md
# ~/.pi/agent/models.json
# ~/.pi/agent/mcp.json
# ~/.pi/agent/settings.json
# ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
```
## Updating pi
The pi-mono repo is mirrored from upstream and syncs every 24h.
```bash
# Force a mirror sync (on n97-mini)
ssh n97-mini 'sudo -u forgejo forgejo admin repo sync --config /var/lib/forgejo/custom/conf/app.ini sscoble/pi-mono'
```

## Forgejo Actions
An action keeps pi up to date — when upstream `badlogic/pi-mono` releases a new tag, the Forgejo mirror picks it up automatically. A scheduled workflow in this repo checks for tag drift daily.
