|Hetzner provides an [https://wiki.hetzner.de/index.php/LARA/en#Installing_an_OS interface] to upload your own ISO-images. However you may want to build your own iso-image, which has openssh with ssh keys due the lack of a remote console. An easier method to install NixOS on Hetzner, is to use the existing integration into [https://nixos.org/nixops/manual/#idm140737318364240 NixOps].

The 'bare-metal' servers rely on a special Linux kernel booting to attach network <code>/dev/nbdX</code> drives which works only with Scaleway supplied images.
