The VirtualBox VM should be configured with the following: + +CPU +:As many physical (non-SMT) cores as your CPU has ideally, since NixOS does need to build things occasionally. + +RAM +:8GB is probably a good starting point. If the installer hangs, you probably need to increase this from the presumably lower value you have set. + +Display +:The NixOS configuration assumes VMSVGA. + +Storage +:The installer assumes you've selected an AHCI SATA controller using a dynamically allocated VDI of 100GB. This might need to be bigger, given how disk intensive NixOS can be. + +Network +:My testing NIC was configured in VirtualBox to use NAT and virtio-net. + +Other +:This configuration works best if you also enable the bidirectional shared clipboard functionality under General -> Advanced. + +### Installation + +You can download the minimal ISO image from https://nixos.org/download/ to start. Once in the installer command line, you can grab this repo using: + +``` +curl -O https://arrakis.bitgnome.net/nipsy/git/nix/snapshot/nix-master.tar.zst +tar xavf nix-master.tar.zst +``` + +To start the installation script, including provisioning the local storage via disko, run: + +``` +nix-master/scripts/install-with-disko richese +``` + +which should walk you through the rest of the installation. |
