# 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 1. **Update the lock file** ```bash just update ``` This runs `nix flake update` and updates `flake.lock`. 2. **Build and verify** (safe dry-run) ```bash just check ``` Builds all configurations without applying. If this fails, fix errors before proceeding. 3. **Apply the update** (when ready) ```bash just switch ``` 4. **Verify services are running** ```bash systemctl status docker tailscaled ``` ## Rollback if needed When you're done echo out the instructions to: ```bash # 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.lock` to see what changed before applying - Old boot entries remain available for rollback until garbage collected $ARGUMENTS
