NixOS images on Azure

[toraritte]

Thanks, I may have read that somewhere, but 1.6.1 was indeed a long time ago.

Do you think this approach would be viable at the moment?

@toraritte

deploy with azure-new , manage configs with NixOps

I mean, not sure exactly what the minimum configuration is for a NixOS machine to become a deployment target other than

Minimal NixOS config for Nixops deployment

In a standard image you need to activate ssh and add key for root. That is the minimum for nixops to work, since it needs to root access via ssh. users.users.root.openssh.authorizedKeys.keys = [ <yourkey> ]; services.openssh.enable = true;

(Found also this issue but the gentleperson there was using NixOps from a Ubuntu machine that may have had to do with the troubles.)
