- Put a bootable NixOS iso image on a usb thumbdrive, and boot it
- Prime the box
sudo nix --experimental-features 'nix-command flakes' run github:panchoh/nixos#helium - Change the default password (you guessed it, it’s ‘password’)
passwd - Manage your ssh key and then let Home Manager finish the setup
doas systemctl restart home-manager-pancho.service - Optimise the storage just this once
nix store optimise --verbose - You are all set. Happy hacking!
