# Migration Status and Next Steps (Jan 28, 2026)

This document summarizes the current status of the NixOS migration project and outlines the remaining critical steps.

## Current Status

**Phase 1: Data Staging and Relocation - COMPLETE**

*   **Initial Data Review:** Identified and confirmed that primary user personal files (Documents, Pictures, Music, Videos, Downloads) were largely already present in `/data/personal`.
*   **Missing Project Data Identified:** Discovered missing web projects (XAMPP `htdocs`) and IoT projects (`frei0r`) from the old Windows drive (`/media/sam/8294CD2994CD2111`).
*   **Data Staging Completed:** Successfully copied the missing web projects to `/data/work/htdocs` and IoT projects to `/data/work/frei0r`. The `Espressif` toolchain was intentionally excluded.
*   **Critical Data Relocation:** Both the entire `/data` directory (containing all staged user data, total ~86GB) and the `nixos-migration` project directory were successfully copied from the original Ubuntu OS drive to the external USB drive: `/media/sam/Integral300/`. This is crucial for safeguarding data before the main drive is formatted.

**Phase 2: Deep System Reconnaissance - COMPLETE**

*   A comprehensive `04_nixos_recon.sh` script was created and executed.
*   Detailed logs (`logs/04_nixos_recon.log`) have been generated, containing:
    *   Lists of all installed APT and Snap packages.
    *   Information on active systemd services and timers (system-wide and user-specific).
    *   Output from Docker commands (version, info, running containers, images, volumes) and a search for `docker-compose.yml` files.
    *   Analysis of shell history for frequently used command-line tools.
    *   Lists of manually installed binaries in `/usr/local/bin`, `~/bin`, and `~/.local/bin`.

**Gitea Archival - COMPLETE**

*   The essential `logs/` and `results/` directories from this `nixos-migration` project have been successfully pushed to the `nixos-4screen` Gitea repository (`ssh://git@gitea.lab.audasmedia.com.au:2222/sam/nixos-4screen.git`). This ensures the reconnaissance data and any future NixOS configuration templates are safely version-controlled.

## Next Steps / Remaining Considerations

1.  **Review All Reconnaissance Logs:** A thorough manual review of all logs (`04_nixos_recon.log` and `07_deep_cli_scan.log`) is essential to build your final NixOS configurations. The deep scan successfully identified numerous Cargo-installed CLI tools like `atuin`, `starship`, `zellij`, `yazi`, etc.

2.  **Build `configuration.nix`:** Use the `results/generated_configuration.nix` as a starting template. Cross-reference with the logs to add any missing system-wide packages and services.

3.  **Build `home.nix`:** A new draft, `results/generated_home.nix`, has been created. This file is a comprehensive template for using Home Manager to declaratively build your entire terminal environment, including Zsh, Oh My Zsh, Starship, and all the CLI tools discovered in the deep scan.

4.  **Backup of Local Application Data (See `06_application_data_notes.md`):** Ensure critical items like GPG/SSH keys are securely backed up.

5.  **Fireship Desktop App:** The "fireship" application was not found via standard package managers or `.desktop` files. It is likely an AppImage. You will need to re-download this manually on your new NixOS system.

Once these review steps are complete, you will be ready to begin the NixOS installation.
