# Instructions
|
|
|
|
1. Create a server with any distribution (Ubuntu for example) from the Hetzner UI.
|
|
2. In your server options on the Hetzner UI click on `Mount image`. Find the NixOS image and mount it. Reboot the server into it.
|
|
3. You won't be able to ssh into your server. You will have to do the following steps by logging in with the Hetzner UI.
|
|
- On the top right of the server details click on the icon `>_`.
|
|
- Fork this repo and replace your SSH public key in the script. For exapmle, make a commit on a new branch.
|
|
- Get the URL of the script you created (might look like `https://raw.github.com/YOUR_USER_NAME/nixos-install-scripts/YOUR_BRANCH_NAME/hosters/hetzner-cloud/nixos-install-hetzner-cloud.sh`).
|
|
- Paste the following command into your console gui `curl -L YOUR_URL | sudo bash`.
|
|
This will install NixOS and turn the server off.
|
|
4. In your server options on the Hetzner UI click on `Unmount`, and turn the server back on using the big power-switch button in the top right.
|
|
5. On your own computer you can now ssh into the newly created machine.
|
|

# Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
## SSH `WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED!`
|
|
|
|
if you have already ssh-ed into your server before installing NixOS, you will have to remove the server from your .know-hosts file.
|
|
Open the file (located in your .ssh directory) and delete the entry corresponding to the server.
|
|
|
|
## Curl 404 error
|
|
|
|
if you copy and paste a url from the Hetzner console GUI, some characters can get replaced (If you are using an English/US keyboard layout for example). Just replace the offending characters (check the punctuation especially, @:_ and the likes).
