# NixOS on Media Temple
|
||||
|
||||
On Media Temple we can install NixOS on Ubuntu servers by using a custom infect script.
|
||||
|
||||
## Add a new server
|
||||
|
||||
1. Click on `Add New Service` and select `Self Managed VPS`.
|
||||
1. Select appropriate server resources (e.g. 2 CPU, 4GB RAM and 100GB storage) and tick `No control panel`.
|
||||
1. After order has been processed you will need to finish the installation (selecting Ubuntu
|
||||
version, setting username and password)
|
||||
|
||||
## Infect Ubuntu 20.04
|
||||
|
||||
After executing the infect script (`bash infect.sh`) you will need to modify the
|
||||
`hardware-configuration.nix` file. The script will stop and you will need to do it
|
||||
manually. You will need to remove all `squashfs` and `vfat` (efi boot) entries.
|
||||
The automatically generated config will look something like this:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
# Do not modify this file! It was generated by ‘nixos-generate-config’
|
||||
# and may be overwritten by future invocations. Please make changes
|
||||
# to /etc/nixos/configuration.nix instead.
|
||||
{ config, lib, pkgs, modulesPath, ... }:
|
||||
|
||||
{
|
||||
imports =
|
||||
[ (modulesPath + "/profiles/qemu-guest.nix")
|
||||
];
|
||||
|
||||
boot.initrd.availableKernelModules = [ "ata_piix" "virtio_pci" "virtio_scsi" ];
|
||||
boot.initrd.kernelModules = [ ];
|
||||
boot.kernelModules = [ ];
|
||||
boot.extraModulePackages = [ ];
|
||||
|
||||
fileSystems."/" =
|
||||
{ device = "/dev/disk/by-uuid/e46da1b8-55a0-4df9-842e-8d80c3a22ffc";
|
||||
fsType = "ext4";
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
fileSystems."/snap/snapd/12883" =
|
||||
{ device = "/var/lib/snapd/snaps/snapd_12883.snap";
|
||||
fsType = "squashfs";
|
||||
options = [ "loop" ];
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
fileSystems."/snap/core20/1081" =
|

{ device = "/var/lib/snapd/snaps/core20_1081.snap";
|

|

|

};
|

|

|

|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
fileSystems."/snap/lxd/21545" =
|
||||
{ device = "/var/lib/snapd/snaps/lxd_21545.snap";
|
||||
fsType = "squashfs";
|
||||
options = [ "loop" ];
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
fileSystems."/snap/snapd/14549" =
|
||||
{ device = "/var/lib/snapd/snaps/snapd_14549.snap";
|
||||
fsType = "squashfs";
|
||||
options = [ "loop" ];
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
fileSystems."/snap/core20/1270" =
|
||||
{ device = "/var/lib/snapd/snaps/core20_1270.snap";
|
||||
fsType = "squashfs";
|
||||
options = [ "loop" ];
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
fileSystems."/snap/lxd/21835" =
|
||||
{ device = "/var/lib/snapd/snaps/lxd_21835.snap";
|
||||
fsType = "squashfs";
|
||||
options = [ "loop" ];
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
swapDevices = [ ];
|
||||
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
It's also recommended to name `fileSystem."/"` device to `/dev/sda3` in case the server
|
||||
gets relocated (disk UUID will change) and add `nvme` to `boot.initrd.kernelModules`.
|
||||
|
||||
How do I know it's `/dev/sda3` and not e.g. sda1 or sda2? Run `lsblk` and you will see
|
||||
the correct pact. In our case:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
root@ip:~# lsblk
|
||||
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
|
||||
loop0 7:0 0 32.3M 1 loop /snap/snapd/12883
|
||||
loop1 7:1 0 61.8M 1 loop /snap/core20/1081
|
||||
loop2 7:2 0 67.3M 1 loop /snap/lxd/21545
|
||||
loop3 7:3 0 43.4M 1 loop /snap/snapd/14549
|
||||
loop4 7:4 0 61.9M 1 loop /snap/core20/1270
|
||||
loop5 7:5 0 67.2M 1 loop /snap/lxd/21835
|
||||
sda 8:0 0 100G 0 disk
|
||||
├─sda1 8:1 0 4M 0 part
|
||||
├─sda2 8:2 0 106M 0 part /boot/efi
|
||||
└─sda3 8:3 0 99.9G 0 part /
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Optional:
|
||||
- Add a bit of swap.
|
||||
- Mount `/dev/sda2` partition on `/boot`
|
||||
|
||||
After you remove all the `squashfs` and the efi boot entries you will be left with:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
# Do not modify this file! It was generated by ‘nixos-generate-config’
|
||||
# and may be overwritten by future invocations. Please make changes
|
||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
{
|
||||
imports = [ ];
|
||||
|
||||
boot.initrd.availableKernelModules = [ "ata_piix" "uhci_hcd" "xen_blkfront" ];
|
||||
boot.initrd.kernelModules = [ "nvme" ];
|
||||
boot.kernelModules = [ ];
|

boot.extraModulePackages = [ ];

fileSystems."/" =

|
||||
fsType = "ext4";
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
fileSystems."/boot" =
|
||||
{ device = "/dev/sda2";
|
||||
fsType = "vfat";
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
swapDevices = [
|
||||
{
|
||||
device = "/swapfile";
|
||||
size = 1024;
|
||||
priority = 0;
|
||||
}
|
||||
];
|
||||
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The last few lines of infect output will look something like this:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
|
||||

|
||||
LANG = "C.UTF-8"
|
||||
are supported and installed on your system.

||||

|
||||

|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Verify `/etc/nixos/*.nix` config files and make sure they are correct (especially IPs in
|
||||
`configuration.nix`).
|
||||
|
||||
After reboot, you should be able to SSH to the server.
