Rolling Back Configuration Changes

After running nixos-rebuild to switch to a new configuration, you may find that the new configuration doesn't work very well. In that case, there are several ways to return to a previous configuration.

First, the GRUB boot manager allows you to boot into any previous configuration that hasn't been garbage-collected. These configurations can be found under the GRUB submenu "NixOS - All configurations". This is especially useful if the new configuration fails to boot. After the system has booted, you can make the selected configuration the default for subsequent boots:

# /run/current-system/bin/switch-to-configuration boot

Second, you can switch to the previous configuration in a running system:

# nixos-rebuild switch --rollback

This is equivalent to running:

# /nix/var/nix/profiles/system-N-link/bin/switch-to-configuration switch

where N is the number of the NixOS system configuration. To get a list of the available configurations, do:

$ ls -l /nix/var/nix/profiles/system-*-link
...
