上传 ISO
从 NixOS官网 获取 最小化安装镜像(Minimal ISO image)的下载地址

在 Vultr 的上传页面,粘贴刚刚获取的地址,点击上传

Vultr 需要 5~10 分钟完成镜像下载,这个页面 可以看到下载进度,下载完成后有 MD5值供你验证完整性
使用自定义镜像部署服务器
部署的时候选择刚刚上传的 ISO 即可

SSH 连接
第一次需要通过WEB UI 上提供的终端来访问

设置密码(这只是 LiveCD 的密码,方便 SSH连接,重启后失效)
# set "nixos" password
passwd
# set "root" password
sudo passwd
现在你可以从本地 SSH 客户端连接服务器了
分区
# login as root
sudo -i
# create a MBR partition table
parted /dev/vda -- mklabel msdos
# create root partition
parted /dev/vda -- mkpart primary 1MB -2GB
# Set the root partition’s boot flag to on. This allows the disk to be booted from.
parted /dev/vda -- set 1 boot on
# create swap partition
parted /dev/vda -- mkpart primary linux-swap -2GB 100%
# format
mkfs.ext4 -L nixos /dev/vda1
mkswap -L swap /dev/vda2
```
⚠️ 记得用 lsblk -f
确认你的磁盘名
⚠️ 我尝试过 UEFI(GPT),Vultr 似乎不支持
安装
# mount root
mount /dev/disk/by-label/nixos /mnt
# enable swap now
swapon /dev/vda2
# generate an initial configuration file
nixos-generate-config --root /mnt --flake
# config your system
vim /mnt/etc/nixos/configuration.nix
# install
nixos-install --flake '/mnt/etc/nixos#server'
# As the last step, `nixos-install` will ask you to set the password for the `root` user, e.g.
# set password for other user
nixos-enter --root /mnt -c 'passwd glaumar'
参考配置
nixos-generate-config
生成的配置文件不要直接用,特别是启动的磁盘路径( boot.loader.grub.device
)一定不要错,下面提供一份基本的可起动配置做参考(configuration.nix
),这个配置开启了 SSH服务(没开防火墙),并添加了一个名为 “glaumar”的用户

# your system. Help is available in the configuration.nix(5) man page, on
# https://search.nixos.org/options and in the NixOS manual (`nixos-help`).

移除 ISO 并重启

顺利的话,重启后你可以使用 SSH 连接以 glaumar 用户名登录
