==== Networking ====
To setup networking, configure:
The below setup does not include DHCP, and instead statically configures both IPV6 and IPV4. The IPV4 is especially important if you want to ssh into your server (which you almost certainly will -- the qemu portal offered by liteserver is not particularly nice to work with). We disable DHCP because it inteferes with such static configuration.


<syntaxhighlight lang="shell">
You can find your IPV4 address listed as the 'Primary IP' on the front dashboard after you login to Liteserver's client area. It will look something like '192.0.2.0'. Your IPV4 gateway is your IPV4, with a '1' instead of the final number. So if your IPV4 address is '192.0.2.0', then your gateway is '192.0.2.1'.

As the end of the manual says, once you've finished the configuration, run <code>nixos-install</code>. ''Don't'' run <code>reboot</code> as the manual tells you to. Instead, go to the server settings and 'stop' the VPS. Then go to 'Boot Order' under Settings/VPS Configuration, and switch the order of the two entries.

You should ''now' have 'DISK1' (or something similar) ''first'' (on top) and then 'CDROM1' (or something similar) ''second''.

Now 'start' the VPS with the start button. If all went well, you should see a new GRUB menu and boot into a fresh Nixos system.
