[Nix-dev] Failure to Install "hello"

2015-11-06 Thread Martin Vahi
Is the GitHub issue tracker in use or abandoned? I filed https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/515 about 6 months ago and nobody responded despite the fact that the issue should be quite important from Nix adoption point of view. So, the question is, where is the actual issue-tracker? Of

I created an account but they are out of stock and don't let me see the admin. I wanted to see if they let you boot from an ISO/iPXE like on vultr, that makes the install considerably easier. On Fri, 6 Nov 2015 at 08:17 Lluís Batlle i Rossell wrote: > Thank you! Sounds like a

I would also add a little script that pings back to a known location and reports the local IP. Then just tail the logs of that known location's httpd server :) On Fri, 6 Nov 2015 at 04:51 Roger Qiu wrote: > Try using Packer. You can take the liveCD ISO, and repack it

I guess you won't get around building your own ISO. Maybe have a look at 'nixos/modules/installer/cd-dvd/installation-cd-minimal.nix', and at how it is used. It could be a starting point for creating your own image. The source code is your friend, and not Google, I'm afraid. ;) On 11/06/2015
