NixOS supposes to work on Scaleway C1 servers using approaches similar to described in [[Install NixOS on Scaleway X86 Virtual Cloud Server]]
NixOS historically had some support<ref>[https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/67ba83a934dc04c5f7bafec2370e9080b9a2de8f/lib/systems/platforms.nix#L339 lib/systems/platforms.nix]</ref> to work on Scaleway C1 servers. It may be possible to boot a C1 server using the approach described in [[Install NixOS on Scaleway X86 Virtual Cloud Server]].
