# 1. Create three (3) disk images:
# - Installer: 1024mb
# - Swap: 512mb
# - NixOS: rest
#
# 2. Boot in rescue mode with:
# - /dev/sda -> Installer
# - /dev/sdb -> Swap
# - /dev/sdc -> NixOS
#
# 3. Once booted into Finnix (step 2) pipe this script to sh:
# iso=https://channels.nixos.org/nixos-20.09/latest-nixos-minimal-x86_64-linux.iso
# update-ca-certificates
# curl -k $iso | dd bs=1M of=/dev/sda
#
# 4. Create two configuration profiles:
# - Installer
# - Kernel: Direct Disk
# - /dev/sda -> NixOS
# - /dev/sdb -> Swap
# - /dev/sdc -> Installer
# - Helpers: distro and auto network helpers = off
# - Boot
# - Kernel: GRUB 2
# - /dev/sda -> NixOS
# - /dev/sdb -> Swap
# - Helpers: distro and auto network helpers = off
#
# 5. Boot into installer profile.
#
# 6. Generate hardware-configuration.nix
# e2label /dev/sda nixos
# swaplabel -L swap /dev/sdb
# mount /dev/disk/by-label/nixos /mnt
# swapon /dev/disk/by-label/swap
# nixos-generate-config --root /mnt
# vim /mnt/etc/nixos/hardware-configuration.nix # change uuids to labels
#
# 7. Install dotfiles:
# nix-env -iA nixos.git nixos.nixFlakes
# mkdir -p /mnt/home/hlissner/.config
# cd /mnt/home/hlissner/.config
# git clone https://github.com/hlissner/dotfiles
# nixos-install --root /mnt --flake .#linode --impure
# OR (on older versions of nixos)
# nixos-install --root /mnt --flake .#linode --option pure-eval false
#
# 8. Reboot into "Boot" profile.
