This section links to or explains methods that can be used on various providers. As always, with unsupported hosts and unsupported distributions, your mileage may vary. | |||
Not all providers allow to upload own images or provide NixOS images for installation. However there are a few ways to install NixOS anyhow. [https://github.com/jeaye/nixos-in-place nixos-in-place] and [https://github.com/elitak/nixos-infect nixos-infect] are generic approaches to install NixOS from an existing Linux. A different approach is to build an kexec-based image to start the installer from an booted linux as shown in this [https://github.com/cleverca22/nix-tests/tree/master/kexec repo]. | |||
See also the [[NixOps]] project, which also provides interfaces to different cloud providers. | |||
