A pretty high-level article about a little tool we built. Hope you like it!
The tool looks quite interesting, but the website layout and column width is just about unusable on mobile.
Was there a particular reason to rename it from nixos-remote
? That said, I’ve used this for some months now and it’s a pleasure on Hetzner at least.
Yeah, we’ll get that fixed.
How does this compared with GitHub - numtide/system-manager: Manage system config using nix on any distro ?
The mobile experience should be better now.
How does this compared with GitHub - numtide/system-manager: Manage system config using nix on any distro ?
System manager doesn’t replace the underlying operating system, it brings NixOS modules to non-NixOS distros. With NixOS Anywhere you point it at a system running Ubuntu for example, and by the end the OS has been replaced with NixOS.
Thanks for sharing, nixos-anywhere’s really a interesting tool, will give it a try!
Could you use nixos-anywhere to install nixos on a fresh laptop using a live-usb? Without using a second computer with ssh?
If you can boot a live-usb, why not use NixOS installer?
Then I’d have to run more commands:
- disko
- nixos-install
- …
Instead of one?
You have some work to do before using nixos-anywhere anyway, like describing the disk layout GitHub - numtide/nixos-anywhere at numtide.com
