Getting Started

Source: GitHub README

I do recommend for this my sibling project [Skarabox][] which bootstraps a new server and sets up a few tools:

• Create a bootable ISO, installable on an USB key.
• Handles one or two (in raid 1) SSDs for root partition.
• Handles two (in raid 1) or more hard drives for data partition.
• nixos-anywhere to install NixOS headlessly.
• disko to format the drives using native ZFS encryption with remote unlocking through ssh.
• sops-nix to handle secrets.
• deploy-rs to deploy updates.
