+# Nix-config
+
+My NixOS-based system configuration files.
+
+Currently only used as an experiment to self-host a new server.
+
+## Steps
+
+First build using flakes:
+
+```sh
+sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .
+```
+
+Secondly, take care of a few manual steps:
+
+* Configure Gitea and Drone
+* Configure Jackett and NZBHydra2
+* Configure Sonarr, Radarr, Bazarr
+* Configure Transmission's webui port
