  • Obscura: The VPN that can't track your activity
    1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 29 Sep 2023
    It's mostly bash scripts (I know I have stockholm syndrome there) and nixos-rebuild: https://www.haskellforall.com/2023/01/announcing-nixos-rebui...

    All the nix deployment tools had too much magic and broke, but nixos-rebuild always works and it's part of Nix!

    Disko was great for bootstrapping servers: https://github.com/nix-community/disko

  • NixOS Impermanence
    1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 22 Aug 2023
    I'm now running impermanence on NixOS servers. Setting it up was slightly more work, obviously, but it's been... freeing in a sense. My confidence that I can rebuild all servers at any time and that all the peculiarities of my setup are documented have never been higher.

    Rather than using a script for setup, I am using disko [0] with nixos-anywhere [1] and a small home-grown script that integrates with 1Password for deployments and it's wonderful, because everything including disk formatting is now purely declarative.

    Your can also look at disko
  • disko-images - Create qcow2 images from NixOS + disko configuration
    3 projects | /r/NixOS | 18 May 2023
    It's a simple NixOS module that creates disk images from your disko configuration, with NixOS installed onto them.
  • Hardware configuration in nix flake dotfiles?

    The closest thing would be to look at the live disk implementation, but obviously it doesn't automount any files systems. I think particular to disk problems, disko is supposed to help: https://github.com/nix-community/disko but I haven't gotten around to playing with it to verify.
  • Changing file system

    For actually writing partitions, there is disko (though I have not used it).
  • please confirm my impression of why nix is so great

    If it's just disk formatting you want to automate, then check out disko.

    I guess if all else fails, ignore the instructions? Does the quickstart guide need to be updated?
  • Managing paritions in a nix config?

    Check out disko
  • Manage zfs pools in NixOS
    4 projects | /r/NixOS | 10 Mar 2023
    Looking at your other comments in this thread, you may want to look at the disko tmpfs.nix example which is a simplified NixOS ❄: tmpfs as root setup and then possibly the ZFS equivalent Erase your darlings. These setups minimize the statefull information kept on disk.
