Talk:Install NixOS on Hetzner Online

nixos-generate -o /home/foo/result -f kexec-bundle -c /home/foo/config.nix

fails

trying

nixos-generate -o /home/foo/result -f kexec -c /home/foo/config.nix

works

Rename article?

I just deleted a large section about bootstrapping NixOS on Hetzner Cloud. The header of this article specifically mentions that Hetzner Online and Hetzner Cloud are two different services, and that this article deals with Hetzner Online's dedicated servers.

I'm thinking that it might be worth making this more clear by renaming the article title – the distinction between Online/Cloud IS confusing, and the title could do better. Maybe "Install NixOS on Hetzner Online (Dedicated Servers)" or "NixOS on Hetzner Online Dedicated Servers" to allow for expanding the article to cover any other specifics for this provider.

nixos-anywhere

https://github.com/numtide/nixos-anywhere worked very well for installing NixOS on a EX101 dedicated server. If anyone wants to expand this article ...
