I think things are pretty good with nixos-anywhere[1] now. I made a video last month walking through the process of provisioning a VPS on Hetzner Cloud[2] if you want to see what the process looks like in real-time.

- qazxcvbnm 3y agoWow, it looks pretty nice! I see that it even provides a Terraform module: "All-in-One: This is a consolidated module that first installs NixOS using nixos-anywhere and then keeps it updated with nixos-rebuild. If you choose this, you won't need additional deployment tools like colmena." That would a great thing if its solid. I've never heard of kexec before; not very familiar why installing NixOS using kexec is only supported on x86 but not aarch64. I wonder what are the advantages and downsides of nixos-anywhere v.s. nixos-infect.
