base-nixos-linode

A repository that builds a base NixOS Linode image. The make build tool is used to build the image and also to manage a Linode instance. A dotenv file is provided and used to define values to a specific Linode instance, such as the IP address and admin account name.

Basics

All repository commands can be found simply by running the make command, like this: make

Help text should be displayed on the screen with available commands and what they do.

Build Instructions

Run the following command: make build-image

Managing a Linode Instance

Two make targets are defined to manage a Linode instance: nixos-switch and ssh. Run nixos-switch to build a Linode compatible NixOS image from the configuration in /nixos-config.
