Folks, In hopes of getting NixOS onto DigitalOcean, and other VPS providers, I've created https://github.com/jeaye/nixos-in-place
nixos-in-place can be used for other purposes, outside of VPSs, for installing NixOS on top of any existing distro. However, where it shines is converting existing VPSs into NixOS without any live media. I know there's a great deal of work being done, by aszlig, on the nixos-assimilate project which covers much of the same ground as nixos-in-place. Currently, nixos-assimilate isn't usable; however, once it is, I do believe there won't be a need for nixos-in-place anymore. nixos-assimilate appears to be a much more complete solution and will likely result in a much more nix-y experience. Until then, with love, I hope the NixOS community is able to enjoy NixOS systems on providers which otherwise would have more limited options. nixos-in-place is very new software; please take any issues or requests to the Github issue tracker. Feel free to ping me in IRC. Cheers, Jeaye _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
