RayTerm

An opinionated, reproducible coding environment across Linux, macOS and Windows.

What is this?

A set of dotfiles + a package manifest that, in one command, gives you:

• Tiling window management on every OS — Hyprland (Linux), AeroSpace (macOS), GlazeWM (Windows).
• Coherent keybindings across all three (mapped to SUPER on Linux/Windows, Alt on macOS).
• Terminal-first stack — zsh + tmux + Neovim (LazyVim) + Ghostty.
• Rose-Pine theming everywhere — GTK / Qt (Kvantum) / KDE / terminal.
• AI-native — Claude Code, Ollama, LM Studio, opencode wired in.
• Everything managed by chezmoi, with private agent configuration encrypted using age.

Quick install

export CHEZMOI_AGE_KEY_FILE=/path/to/securely-restored-key.txt
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rayanramoul/dotfiles/master/install.sh | bash

The age identity is intentionally not stored in Git. Back it up securely and restore it before the first apply.

Or manual:

# 1. Install chezmoi
sh -c "$(curl -fsLS get.chezmoi.io)"

# 2. Initialize the source state
chezmoi init https://github.com/rayanramoul/dotfiles

# 3. Restore the age identity, then apply
install -Dm600 /path/to/securely-restored-key.txt ~/.config/chezmoi/key.txt
chezmoi apply

Per-OS notes

Arch / CachyOS

• All packages declared in home/.chezmoidata/packages.yaml and installed via paru by home/.chezmoiscripts/run_onchange_install-packages.sh.tmpl.
• Autostart entries (Noctalia, Hypridle, Udiskie, etc.) live in home/dot_config/hypr/autostart.lua.
• Quick OS bootstrap: boot the Arch ISO → archinstall → log in → follow the bootstrap steps above. NVIDIA drivers, kernel mode-setting, multilib: see the Arch wiki — NVIDIA.

macOS

• AeroSpace replaces Yabai/skhd (no SIP changes required): brew install --cask nikitabobko/tap/aerospace.
• SketchyBar + JankyBorders for the bar / focus ring: brew install sketchybar borders.
• After applying: aerospace reload-config && brew services restart sketchybar.
• Best-spotlight: Raycast.

Windows

• Run inside WSL Arch for shell parity.
• Native side: GlazeWM (config at home/dot_config/glaze_config.yaml), Wox launcher, optional ExplorerPatcher to hide the taskbar.
• wsl --set-default Arch, then follow the bootstrap steps from inside WSL.

AI tooling

• Claude Code is the main coding agent. Install: npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code. Optional claude-diff hook for visual diffs of proposed edits.
• Ollama (CUDA) + LM Studio for local model hosting.
• Neovim integrations: claude-code.nvim, minuet-ai, codediff / vscode-diff for AI-edit previews. Config in home/dot_config/nvim/lua/plugins/.

Local LLM Stack (llama-server + OpenWebUI + opencode)

The local LLM setup uses llama-server (llama.cpp) as the inference server, OpenWebUI as the web interface, and opencode as the CLI agent.

Components

Component	Config Location	Description
llama-server	.config/systemd/user/llama-cpp.service	Systemd user service running Qwen3.6-35B model on port 18081
OpenWebUI	home/scripts/executable_deploy_openwebui.sh	Docker deployment with --network host
opencode	home/dot_config/opencode/opencode.jsonc.tmpl	CLI agent config (public parts)

Setup

1. Build llama.cpp (once):

   ~/scripts/install_llama_cpp.sh

2. Download model:

   ~/scripts/download_models.sh

3. Deploy OpenWebUI:

   ~/scripts/deploy_openwebui.sh

4. Start services:

   systemctl --user enable --now llama-cpp

5. Access:

   • OpenWebUI: http://localhost:8080
   • llama-server API: http://localhost:18081/v1

Current Model

• Qwen3.6-35B-IQ4_XS.gguf (18 GB)
• Context size: 120,000 tokens
• Downloaded from HuggingFace: mradermacher/Qwen3.6-35B-Instruct-GGUF

Updating the Model

1. Edit home/scripts/executable_download_models.sh to change the model repo/symlink

2. Re-run the download script:

   ~/scripts/download_models.sh

3. Update systemd service (~/.config/systemd/user/llama-cpp.service) if model name changes:

   ExecStart=/home/.../llama-server --model /home/.../llama-models/[model].gguf --ctx-size 120000 ...

4. Reload and restart:

   systemctl --user daemon-reload
   systemctl --user restart llama-cpp

5. Update opencode config template (home/dot_config/opencode/opencode.jsonc.tmpl) with new model name and context size, then run chezmoi apply

Troubleshooting

• OpenWebUI can't reach llama-server: Ensure --network host is used in docker run, and OPENAI_API_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:18081/v1
• Model not loading: Check journalctl --user -u llama-cpp for errors
• Port conflict: llama-server defaults to port 18081

just recipes wrap the common chezmoi flows: just apply, just diff, just bootstrap <repo>, just upgrade (topgrade), just unmanaged (find files chezmoi doesn't track).

Cheatsheets

Outside-the-stack reference material lives in docs/cheatsheets/ — short notes on git, ssh, and a vscode PDF. Use glow docs/cheatsheets/git.md for in-terminal rendering.

Gaming

docs/skyrim-tuxborn-linux/ — current Skyrim setup. Tuxborn (1,371 mods) installed with Jackify, the Linux replacement for Wabbajack. Covers the AE/Creation Club requirements, the 1.6.1170 downgrade, and the six places the install actually breaks.

docs/skyrim-thana-khan-linux/ — retired, kept for reference. Getting the Thana Khan Modspack v8.4 (1,800 mods, Windows-only by design) running under Proton: MO2/usvfs, non-ASCII mod names, Microsoft runtime DLLs, Community Shaders in place of ENB, plus launcher, deploy and audit scripts. Includes what was ruled out about ENB under Proton.
