Hello,
I have NixOS on a Hetzner Cloud Server.
I was working on some files via SSH (only html files, nothing system relevant) and got disconnected.
Tried to reconnect via SSH and got locked out.
I checked the Hetzner cloud console and it is only showing the “grub rescue” promt.
I tried to find the boot partition but all I got with “ls” is
“Filesystem is ext32” for example.
Did anybody know a solution here?
Would be great -.-
Thank you
Boot from the nixos .iso
and what are the steps after this?
It’s really no different from how you would troubleshoot any other Linux distribution.
There’s a good write-up for Arch which covers a lot of ground: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/General_troubleshooting
Hetzner has a recovery mode where it will boot your currently installed OS in a virtual machine on the same hardware. This is quite useful to debug boot and network issues. It will provide you with a web ui. I think it was called something with KVM.
This advice was for hetzner baremetal. For cloud you already have a nice console…
