Upgrade Flake Inputs
Update flake.lock to pull in the latest commits from all flake inputs. This gets you newer package versions without changing NixOS release channels.
What this does
- Updates all inputs to their latest commits (nixpkgs, home-manager, etc.)
- Does NOT change release channels (stays on same NixOS version)
- Safe operation - can always rollback
Process
Update the lock file
just updateThis runs
nix flake updateand updatesflake.lock.Build and verify (safe dry-run)
just checkBuilds all configurations without applying. If this fails, fix errors before proceeding.
Apply the update (when ready)
just switchVerify services are running
systemctl status docker tailscaled
Rollback if needed
When you're done echo out the instructions to:
# Revert to previous system generation
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --rollback
# Revert flake.lock to previous state
git checkout flake.lock
Tips
- show the user what ch
git diff flake.lockto see what changed before applying - Old boot entries remain available for rollback until garbage collected
