Nix flake configuration for all of Jason's devices.

Pre-requisites

Devices

Host	Config Key	Type
Work MacBook	JSON-MACBOOK14	nix-darwin
Personal MacBook	JSON-MACBOOK16	nix-darwin
Coder Workspace	coder	home-manager
Personal Linux (JSON-MINI)	JSON-MINI	home-manager
WSL (JSON-STATION)	JSON-STATION	home-manager

Install

Each host has a directory under hosts/ with a default.nix config and (where needed) a bootstrap.sh script for system-level setup.

macOS (Work MacBook / Personal MacBook)

nix --extra-experimental-features 'nix-command flakes' run nix-darwin -- switch --flake .

Then enable the 1Password SSH agent and CLI integration in 1Password developer settings.

git clone https://github.com/jasonwc/json-workstation.git
cd json-workstation && bash hosts/json-station/bootstrap.sh

Ensures systemd is enabled in WSL, installs Nix, and applies home-manager.
