From 87ead51331bc57326882055e1635a84c2d409af7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ben Sima Date: Fri, 20 Dec 2024 13:57:22 -0500 Subject: Create a bootstrap image for Digital Ocean droplets I need a way to reliably get a NixOS VM provisioned in the cloud, and the easiest way to do this is to create a qcow2 image, upload it to Digital Ocean, and use that to start a droplet. This is very much a manual process, but that's fine, I shouldn't need to do it very often (for now). --- Omni/Os/Boot.nix | 14 ++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 14 insertions(+) create mode 100644 Omni/Os/Boot.nix (limited to 'Omni/Os/Boot.nix') diff --git a/Omni/Os/Boot.nix b/Omni/Os/Boot.nix new file mode 100644 index 0000000..c789d89 --- /dev/null +++ b/Omni/Os/Boot.nix @@ -0,0 +1,14 @@ +{ bild }: +/* This target creates a qcow2 image of a barebones NixOS VM which should be used + to bootstrap a deployment target. + + The workflow is like this: + + - bild this, you get a qcow2 image + - go to https://cloud.digitalocean.com/images/custom_images + - upload the image + - start a new droplet with this image + - once fully provisioned and accessible via ssh, the new droplet can be a deploy + target for any other namespace +*/ +bild.droplet { imports = [ ./Base.nix ../Users.nix ]; } -- cgit v1.2.3
