Since I&rsquo;ve done that earlier for a Raspberry Pi image, I want this new host&rsquo;s base image to leverage that prior work. As part of doing this, I expect to refactor the repository a bit such that reusable bits needn&rsquo;t be repeated, and there are clean, free standing modules that can be included a la carte for new hosts.</p> https://blog.logustus.com/nix-adventures/ Sun, 11 Feb 2024 00:00:00 -0800 https://blog.logustus.com/nix-adventures/ <ol> <li><a href="https://blog.logustus.com/nix-adventures-01/">Generating a Raspberry Pi image</a></li> <li><a href="https://blog.logustus.com/nix-adventures-02/">Setting up Machine Learning tools</a></li> </ol> https://blog.logustus.com/nix-adventures-02/ Fri, 19 Jan 2024 00:00:00 -0800 https://blog.logustus.com/nix-adventures-02/ <div class="ox-hugo-toc toc"> <div class="heading">Table of Contents</div> <ul> <li><a href="#what-is-this">What is this?</a></li> <li><a href="#today-s-adventure-building-a-suite-of-machine-learning-servers">Today&rsquo;s adventure: Building a Suite of Machine Learning Servers</a> <ul> <li><a href="#building-on-macos--localai">Building on macOS (LocalAI)</a></li> <li><a href="#building-on-macos--stable-diffusion-webui">Building on macOS (stable-diffusion-webui)</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> </div> <!--endtoc--> <h2 id="what-is-this">What is this?</h2> <p>See <a href="https://blog.logustus.com/nix-adventures-01/">Nix Adventures Part 1</a> for the introduction for all of this.</p> <h2 id="today-s-adventure-building-a-suite-of-machine-learning-servers">Today&rsquo;s adventure: Building a Suite of Machine Learning Servers</h2> <p>I want to get a machine learning platform setup in my local network. I love the power of the Internet and I hate how dependent we are upon it, and the lack of privacy and control we have as a result. But with lots of spare time anyone can setup their own servers with this stuff. <a href="https://localai.io">LocalAI</a> looks good for this. Cool kids can tell me if there&rsquo;s something better.</p> https://blog.logustus.com/nix-adventures-01/ Fri, 22 Dec 2023 00:00:00 -0800 https://blog.logustus.com/nix-adventures-01/ <div class="ox-hugo-toc toc"> <div class="heading">Table of Contents</div> <ul> <li><a href="#what-is-this">What is this?</a></li> <li><a href="#introduction">Introduction</a></li> <li><a href="#nix-thus-far">Nix Thus Far</a></li> <li><a href="#today-s-project-working-on-a-raspberry-pi">Today&rsquo;s Project: Working on a Raspberry Pi</a></li> <li><a href="#somehow-write-to-the-pi-sd-card">Somehow Write to the Pi SD card</a> <ul> <li><a href="#empower-editing-sd-card-files-from-macos-directly">Empower Editing SD Card Files from macOS Directly</a></li> <li><a href="#making-edits-to-the-sd-card">Making Edits to the SD Card</a> <ul> <li><a href="#sshd"><code>sshd</code></a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="#connecting-to-the-pi--usb-c-fail">Connecting to the Pi (USB-C fail)</a></li> <li><a href="#imaging-the-pi-correctly">Imaging the Pi Correctly</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="#abandon-nix-and-just-get-it-done">Abandon Nix and Just Get it Done</a>:private:</li> <li><a href="#building-the-image">Building the Image</a> <ul> <li><a href="#prior-art">Prior Art</a></li> <li><a href="#doing-real-nix-things-on-macos">Doing Real Nix Things on macOS</a></li> <li><a href="#building-the-nixos-pi-image">Building the NixOS Pi image</a> <ul> <li><a href="#trying-to-make-it-work-with-digga">Trying to Make it Work with <code>digga</code></a></li> <li><a href="#just-use-nix-generators">Just Use <code>nix-generators</code></a></li> <li><a href="#extracting-the-image">Extracting the Image</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="#no-joy-on-boot">No Joy on Boot</a></li> <li><a href="#back-and-display-ports">Back, and Display Ports</a></li> <li><a href="#actually-joy-on-boot">Actually Joy on Boot</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="#conclusion">Conclusion</a></li> </ul> </div> <!--endtoc--> <p>Nix Adventures part 1!</p>
