| 1 | # syncthing-set-id |
| 2 | |
| 3 | Modify in-place a nix module that configures syncthing device ids. This file can used as a normal `include` in nixos configs. This eliminates the need to copy-paste these device IDs around. |
| 4 | |
| 5 | ### Example |
| 6 | |
| 7 | desktop$ syncthing-set-id syncthing-devices.nix |
| 8 | Creating /home/user/myNixOSConfigs/syncthing-devices.nix |
| 9 | |
| 10 | desktop$ cat syncthing-devices.nix |
| 11 | { |
| 12 | "services" = { |
| 13 | "syncthing" = { |
| 14 | "declarative" = { |
| 15 | "devices" = { |
| 16 | "desktop" = { |
| 17 | "id" = |
| 18 | "1234567-89ABCDE-FGHIJKL-MNOPQRS-TUVWXYZ-0123456-789ABCD-EFGHIJK"; |
| 19 | }; |
| 20 | }; |
| 21 | }; |
| 22 | }; |
| 23 | }; |
| 24 | } |
| 25 | |
| 26 | Then, later, on another machine: |
| 27 | |
| 28 | laptop$ syncthing-set-id syncthing-devices.nix |
| 29 | |
| 30 | laptop$ cat syncthing-devices.nix |
| 31 | { |
| 32 | "services" = { |
| 33 | "syncthing" = { |
| 34 | "declarative" = { |
| 35 | "devices" = { |
| 36 | "desktop" = { |
| 37 | "id" = |
| 38 | "1234567-89ABCDE-FGHIJKL-MNOPQRS-TUVWXYZ-0123456-789ABCD-EFGHIJK"; |
| 39 | }; |
| 40 | "laptop" = { |
| 41 | "id" = |
| 42 | "1111111-2222222-3333333-4444444-5555555-6666666-7777777-8888888"; |
| 43 | }; |
| 44 | }; |
| 45 | }; |
| 46 | }; |
| 47 | }; |
| 48 | } |
| 49 | |
| 50 | |
| 51 | ### Usage |
| 52 | |
| 53 | $ syncthing-set-id |
| 54 | |
| 55 | usage: syncthing-set-device-id file [name] [id] |
| 56 | example: syncthing-set-device-id /etc/nixos/modules/syncthing-devices.nix |
| 57 | example: syncthing-set-device-id /etc/nixos/modules/syncthing-devices.nix lappy |
| 58 | example: syncthing-set-device-id /etc/nixos/modules/syncthing-devices.nix lappy 1234567-89ABCDE-FGHIJKL-MNOPQRS-TUVWXYZ-0123456-789ABCD-EFGHIJK |
| 59 | |
| 60 | If `name` is not specified, $HOSTNAME is used. |
| 61 | If `id` is not specified, the ID of the current system instance is used. |
| 62 | |
| 63 | |
| 64 | ### Installation |
| 65 | |
| 66 | You can use this repo as a channel. |
| 67 | |
| 68 | Or, you can use an overlay. For example, you could create a `~/.config/nixpkgs/overlays/syncthing-set-id.nix` with this in it: |
| 69 | |
| 70 | self: super: |
| 71 | let |
| 72 | syncthing-set-id-pkgs = import (builtins.fetchGit { |
| 73 | url = "https://scottworley.com/syncthing-set-id.git"; |
| 74 | ref = "master"; |
| 75 | rev = "0c29f01e83fdadd491b930a9108519be03c7937d"; |
| 76 | }) { pkgs = self; }; |
| 77 | in { inherit (syncthing-set-id-pkgs) syncthing-set-id; } |
| 78 | |
| 79 | And then |
| 80 | |
| 81 | $ nix-env -iA nixos.syncthing-set-id |
