NixOS images
NixOS modules that help for building custom images for different kinds of media.
Important: This package isn't intended to be used by itself. If you are just trying to build a regular NixOS installer image, it's probably more productive to build one directly from nixpkgs.
Some resources that might help with this:
- https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Creating_a_NixOS_live_CD
- https://hoverbear.org/blog/nix-flake-live-media
- https://nix.dev/tutorials/building-bootable-iso-image
- https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Netboot
Notes
Includes image modules defined in nixpkgs:
- nixos/modules/installer/sd-card/sd-image
- nixos/modules/installer/cd-dvd/iso-image
- nixos/modules/installer/netboot
You may wish to combine this with the NixOS profiles defined in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/tree/master/nixos/modules/profiles.
Modifications
Most modules are slightly modified in order to include an enable option which defaults to false.
Contributing
I'm not too interested in maintaining this repo for the long term. If others do find this useful, I would suggest we contribute back to mainline nixpkgs or otherwise I'd also welcome transferring ownership to nix-community.
