# Update
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The following document describes the process on updating the NixOS system.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Updating Flake
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The flake's lockfile will need to be updated to fetch newer packages. This is
|
||
|
|
like running `apt update` on a Debian system.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Run the following command in the flake git repository:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
nix flake update
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> **NOTE:** This will update the git repository, but might be a good idea to
|
||
|
|
check if the changes break the system at all before committing them to the
|
||
|
|
repository, or at least the `main` branch.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Rebuilding System
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You then need to reapply the flake to the system for the changes to take
|
||
|
|
affect. This is like running `apt upgrade` on a Debian system.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Run the following command in the flake git repository, replacing `#HOSTNAME`
|
||
|
|
with the current system's hostname:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#HOSTNAME
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
