# WARNING NB This script wipes out the targeted host's root filesystem when it
# runs to completion. Any errors halt execution. set -x is used to help debug,
# as often a failed run leaves the system in an inconsistent state, requiring a
# rebuild (in DigitalOcean panel: Droplet Settings -> "Destroy" -> "Rebuild
# from original").
#
# TO USE:
# - Add any custom config you want (see notes below)
# - Deploy a Debian 8.3 x64 droplet (enable ipv6; add your ssh key)
# - cat customConfig.optional nixos-infect | ssh root@targethost bash
#
# This was last tested with the DigitalOcean Debian 8.3 x64 image. Different
# versions as well as the Ubuntu images should work as well, but then, there's
# not much point in selecting something different if you intend to wipe out the
# fs as this does. You may need to make minor modifications to use in other
# templates, but basically all that will ever need tweaking should be:
# /etc/nixos/{,hardware-}configuration.nix, inline in this file
# /etc/nixso/networking.nix, generated at runtime (no ipv6? different number of adapters?)
#
# Motivation: nixos-assimilate should supplant this script entirely, if it's
# ever completed. nixos-in-place was quite broken when I tried it, and also
# took a pretty janky approach that was substantially more complex than this
# (although it supported more platforms): it didn't install to root (/nixos
# instead), left dregs of the old filesystem (almost always unnecessary since
# starting from a fresh deployment), and most importantly, simply didn't work for
# me! (old system was being because grub wasnt properly reinstalled)
