-# Nix
+# My Nix Server Configuration
 
-Nix setup for server
+This Nix flake configures a server with common tools and shell aliases.
 
-## Install
+## Prerequisites
+
+- [Nix](https://nixos.org/download.html) must be installed on the server.
+
+## Installation
+
+1.  **Fork this repository on GitHub.**
+
+2.  **Customize your fork:**
+
+    In `flake.nix`, change the `username` variable to your actual username on the server. You can do this directly on GitHub or by cloning your fork locally, making the change, and pushing it.
+
+3.  **Apply the configuration on your server:**
+
+    ```bash
+    nix run home-manager/master -- switch --flake github:<your-github-username>/nix-server#<your-username>
+    ```
+
+    For example, if your GitHub username is `johndoe` and your server username is `john`:
+
+    ```bash
+    nix run home-manager/master -- switch --flake github:johndoe/nix-server#john
+    ```
+
+## Updating
+
+To update the packages and your configuration on the server, simply run the same command again. Nix will automatically fetch the latest version of your flake from your GitHub repository.
 
 ```bash
-# First time install
-curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf -L https://install.determinate.systems/nix | sh -s -- install
-
-# Install / Update
-nix run home-manager -- switch --flake github:cupcakearmy/nix-cli#root -b bkp
+nix run home-manager/master -- switch --flake github:<your-github-username>/nix-server#<your-username>
 ```
 
-## Update
-
-This can be run on any machine. Just update and then just rerun on the targets
-
-```bash
-nix flake update
-
-# To test
-nix run home-manager -- build --flake .#root
-```
+To update the flake's dependencies (like `nixpkgs`), you'll need to update the `flake.lock` file in your repository. You can do this by running `nix flake update` in a local clone of your repository and pushing the changes.
