# Initializing a New Clan Project
|
||||
|
||||
## Clone the Clan Template
|
||||
|
||||
To start a new project, execute the following command to clone the Clan Core template:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ nix flake init -t git+https://git.clan.lol/clan/clan-core
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This action will generate two primary files: `flake.nix` and `.clan-flake`.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ ls -la
|
||||
drwx------ joerg users 5 B a minute ago ./
|
||||
drwxrwxrwt root root 139 B 12 seconds ago ../
|
||||
.rw-r--r-- joerg users 77 B a minute ago .clan-flake
|
||||
.rw-r--r-- joerg users 4.8 KB a minute ago flake.lock
|
||||
.rw-r--r-- joerg users 242 B a minute ago flake.nix
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Understanding the .clan-flake Marker File
|
||||
|
||||
The `.clan-flake` marker file serves an optional purpose: it helps the `clan-cli` utility locate the project's root directory.
|
||||
If `.clan-flake` is missing, `clan-cli` will instead search for other indicators like `.git`, `.hg`, `.svn`, or `flake.nix` to identify the project root.

# Migrating Existing NixOS Configuration Flake
|
||||
|
||||
## Integrating with Existing NixOS Machines
|
||||
|
||||
If you already manage NixOS machines using a flake, you can integrate them with the clan-core as shown in the example below:
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
{
|
||||
description = "My custom NixOS flake";
|
||||
|
||||
inputs.clan-core.url = "git+https://git.clan.lol/clan/clan-core";
|
||||
|
||||
outputs = { clan-core, ... }: {
|
||||
nixosConfigurations = clan-core.lib.buildClan {
|
||||
directory = ./.;
|
||||
machines = {
|
||||
turingmachine = {
|
||||
nixpkgs.pkgs = nixpkgs.legacyPackages.aarch64-linux;
|
||||
imports = [
|
||||
./configuration.nix
|
||||
];
|
||||
};
|
||||
};
|
||||
};
|
||||
};
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
In this configuration:
|
||||
|
||||
- `description`: Provides a brief description of the flake.
|
||||
- `inputs.clan-core.url`: Specifies the Clan Core template's repository URL.
|
||||
- `nixosConfigurations`: Defines NixOS configurations, using Clan Core’s `buildClan` function to manage the machines.
