Hardware

System from Hetzner Online Serverbörse.

  • Motherboard: FUJITSU D3401-H1
  • CPU: Intel Core i7-6700
  • RAM: 4×16 GB Samsung M378A2K43CB1-CRC/M378A2K43BB1-CPB (DDR4 2400/2133 MHz)
  • SSD: 2×512 GB M.2 NVMe SAMSUNG MZVLB512HAJQ-00000

Setup

As it is a physical server (not a VM) in a remote location, extra care must be taken when installing. Fortunately, Hetzner provides an automated way to reset the server (by sending Ctrl+Alt+Del or force resetting) and a rescue system that can be activated before a reboot. Additionally, there is also a vKVM rescue system, that boots a hypervisor from the network and runs a VM which boots from the physical disks.

The rescue system can be used to start a kexec installer generated by nixos-generators. Ideally, everything goes well and the next reboot works, but in the case it does not, the vKVM rescue system can be used for debugging.

Purpose

Hypervisor. Exact scope is to be determined.
