# Disk Templates
!!! Danger ":fontawesome-solid-road-barrier: Under Construction :fontawesome-solid-road-barrier:"
Currently under construction use with caution

## Structure
A disk template consists of exactly two files
- `default.nix`
- `README.md`
```sh
└── single-disk
├── default.nix
└── README.md
```
## `default.nix`
Placeholders are filled with their machine specific options when a template is used for a machine.
The user can choose any valid options from the hardware report.
The file itself is then copied to `machines/{machineName}/disko.nix` and will be automatically loaded by the machine.
`single-disk/default.nix`
```
{
disko.devices = {
disk = {
main = {
device = "{{mainDisk}}";
...
};
};
};
}
```
## Placeholders
Each template must declare the options of its placeholders depending on the hardware-report.
`api/disk.py`
```py
templates: dict[str, dict[str, Callable[[dict[str, Any]], Placeholder]]] = {
"single-disk": {
# Placeholders
"mainDisk": lambda hw_report: Placeholder(
label="Main disk", options=hw_main_disk_options(hw_report), required=True
),
}
}
```
Introducing new local or global placeholders requires contributing to clan-core `api/disks.py`.
### Predefined placeholders
Some placeholders provide predefined functionality
- `uuid`: In most cases we recommend adding a unique id to all disks. This prevents the system to false boot from i.e. hot-plugged devices.
```
disko.devices = {
disk = {
main = {
name = "main-{{uuid}}";
...
}
}
}
```
## Readme
The readme frontmatter must be of the same format as modules frontmatter.
```markdown
---
description = "Simple disk schema for single disk setups"
---
# Single disk
Use this schema for simple setups where ....
```
The format and fields of this file is not clear yet. We might change that once fully implemented.
