## Hardware
|
||
|
||
[Hetzner Online AX41-NVMe](https://www.hetzner.com/de/dedicated-rootserver/ax41-nvme/)
|
||
|
||
- Motherboard: ASRockRack B565D4-V1L
|
||
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600
|
||
- RAM: 2×32 GB Samsung [M378A4G43AB2-CWE](https://semiconductor.samsung.com/dram/module/udimm/m378a4g43ab2-cwe/) (DDR4 3200 MHz)
|
||
- SSD: 2×512 GB M.2 NVMe SAMSUNG MZVL2512HCJQ-00B00
|
||
|
||
## 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 provided by this flake (`nix build .#kexec-bundle`).
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
Even though the Hetzner documentation states that all current systems have UEFI enabled by default,
|
||
my server did not boot when configured for UEFI,
|
||
so I used MBR boot instead.
|
||
|
||
## Purpose
|
||
|
||
Hypervisor. Exact scope is to be determined.
|
||
|
||
## Name
|
||
|
||
Araragi Koyomi is a student from the *Monogatari Series*.
