razer — Laptop¶

The portable workstation: a Razer laptop with hybrid graphics, Secure Boot, and power management. It is the only host on the laptop profile.


Profile	`laptop`
GPU	Intel iGPU + NVIDIA dGPU (Optimus)
Display	eDP-1, 1920×1080@120
NFS	exports `/extdisk` to `192.168.1.*`
Boot	Secure Boot via lanzaboote
Source	`hosts/razer/`

Why this host is shaped the way it is¶

razer is a mobile machine, so it makes trade-offs the desktops do not: the laptop profile turns on thermald and a powersave CPU governor, the Intel iGPU drives the panel to save battery while the NVIDIA dGPU is available on demand, and the boot chain is locked down with Secure Boot. It still carries the full development environment so it is a first-class dev box on the move.

What runs here¶

Laptop specifics¶

Secure Boot via lanzaboote (secure-boot.nix, shim.nix).
greetd login manager; GNOME desktop.
Power management — thermald, powersave governor (from the laptop profile).
OpenRazer for Razer peripheral support (the openrazer user group).
Wayland-forced environment (NIXOS_OZONE_WL, MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND, …).

Development & virtualisation¶

Full development environment.
Virtualisation via libvirt; Docker is off here, with lxd and incus containers instead.
Syncthing enabled.
claude-router CLI and the PARR protocol tooling.

AI & media¶

AI providers (Ollama local + cloud providers via agenix).
Media tooling enabled.

Networking¶

Tailscale mesh; local firewall delegated to Tailscale.
NFS export of /extdisk.

Hardware notes¶

Under hosts/razer/nixos/: NVIDIA/Optimus setup, the laptop tuning (laptop.nix), greetd.nix, boot/CPU/memory/power, and the Secure Boot chain (secure-boot.nix, shim.nix). See the razer manifest.

Remote builds for heavy rebuilds

Large razer rebuilds can be offloaded to p620: nixos-rebuild build --build-host olafkfreund@p620, then sudo switch-to-configuration switch. Build and switch are split because root has no SSH key for p620.
