# Script to install NixOS from the Hetzner Cloud NixOS bootable ISO image.
2020-10-20 15:04:50 +00:00
# (tested with Hetzner's `NixOS 20.03 (amd64/minimal)` ISO image).
#
2020-10-20 15:15:31 +00:00
# This script wipes the disk of the server!

# 1. Mount the above mentioned ISO image from the Hetzner Cloud GUI
# and reboot the server into it; do not run the default system (e.g. Ubuntu).
# 2. To be able to SSH straight in (recommended), you must replace hardcoded pubkey
# further down in the section labelled "Replace this by your SSH pubkey" by you own,
# and host the modified script way under a URL of your choosing
# (e.g. gist.github.com with git.io as URL shortener service).
# 3. Run on the server:
#
2020-10-20 15:15:31 +00:00
# # Replace this URL by your own that has your pubkey in
# curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nix-community/nixos-install-scripts/master/hosters/hetzner-cloud/nixos-install-hetzner-cloud.sh | sudo bash
# 4. Unmount the ISO image from the Hetzner Cloud GUI.
# 5. Reboot.
#
# To run it from the Hetzner Cloud web terminal without typing it down,
2020-10-16 01:37:49 +00:00
# you can either select it and then middle-click onto the web terminal, (that pastes
2020-10-20 15:15:31 +00:00
# to it), or use `xdotool` (you have e.g. 3 seconds to focus the window):
#
2020-10-20 15:15:31 +00:00
# sleep 3 && xdotool type --delay 50 'curl YOUR_URL_HERE | sudo bash'
#
# (In the xdotool invocation you may have to replace chars so that
# the right chars appear on the US-English keyboard.)
2020-10-20 15:15:31 +00:00
#
# If you do not replace the pubkey, you'll be running with my pubkey, but you can
# change it afterwards by logging in via the Hetzner Cloud web terminal as `root`
# with empty password.

# first powerup, that does not happen. Thus we need to grow the partition
# by deleting and re-creating it.
