Add a symlink as the global configuration
sudo mkdir -p /mnt/etc/nixos/
sudo ln -s /mnt/home/simon/nixos/machines/nunotaba/configuration.nix /mnt/etc/nixos/configuration.nix

configuration
sudo nixos-generate-config --root /mnt/
sudo cp /mnt/etc/nixos/hardware-configuration.nix /mnt/home/simon/nixos/machines/nunotaba/hardware-configuration.nix
Install NixOS and reboot (if you do not have another machine, omit
`--no-root-passwd`)
sudo mv /mnt/etc/nixos/hardware-configuration.nix /mnt/home/simon/nixos/machines/nunotaba/hardware-configuration.nix
sudo ln -s ../../home/simon/nixos/machines/nunotaba/hardware-configuration.nix /mnt/etc/nixos/hardware-configuration.nix
Install NixOS
sudo nixos-install --no-root-passwd
sudo reboot
**Hint**: If you need to reboot to the installation system because something
didnt work, first open the luks partition like in the setup script, run `sudo
vgchange -ay` to scan for LVM VGs and then mount the other filesystems like in
the script.
Enter the target as a container, set a user password and clone the dotfiles
SSH into the machine (or login locally if you set a root password), set a user
password and clone the dotfiles
ssh root@machine
