== Finding a container tarball ==

~~First, choose a channel in~~ https://nixos.org/~~channels~~/~~. You will then~~ need ~~to either follow the via Hydra evaluation XXXX link~~, ~~or go to the URL listed in the <tt>src-url</tt> file~~.

Go to https://hydra.nixos.org/project/nixos, choose a release (small ones don't have the tarball we need), and open its Jobs tab.

On that page, search for nixos.containerTarball, open the link corresponding to your architecture (probably x86_64). Choose the latest success and click on the number. That is the ID of the result. Under Build products, download the system-tarball, which will be named <tt>nixos-system-x86_64-linux.tar.xz</tt>.

On that page, ~~use the search box to~~ search for containerTarball~~.x86_64~~. In the ~~results page, follow~~ the ~~link that~~ is the ID of the result. Under Build products, download the system-tarball, which will be named <tt>nixos-system-x86_64-linux.tar.xz</tt>.

Note the Build ID, it will be used when renaming the tarball... right when it's downloaded:

<pre>

mv nixos-system-x86_64-linux.tar.xz nixos-~~18.03~~-default_$BUILDID_amd64.tar.xz

mv nixos-system-x86_64-linux.tar.xz nixos-$RELEASE-default_$BUILDID_amd64.tar.xz
