DigitalKiwi: fwiw, if you do merge and decide to tag, I say we indeed go with 0.1.0 since we will be fiddling with the API a lot soon so this would signal that situation better

Do all of the nixops providers work with a pre-existing image? Do any of them support/require building/uploading the nixops bootstrap image?

So, if I have a desktop PC booted up using the nixos installer via USB, could I technically use nixops to deploy a persistent image to it?

on that note, is it even possible to deploy a full machine using none (including filesystem partitioning, etc), or will it only be able to manage the configuration of an already-deployed machine?
<raghavsood>
Most of the links I can find on that topic are just about how there isn't documentation on the none backend
<adisbladis>
raghavsood: Only a deployed machine.
<raghavsood>
I see, well that simplifies that bit, thanks!

colemickens: NixOps itself doesn't enforce any one model. Most implementations upload images but some (the DigitalOcean one for example) pivots from Ubuntu
<colemickens>
adisbladis: oh cool, interesting to hear, thanks!
<adisbladis>
colemickens: The EC2 backend allows you to set a custom AMI, the GCE backend I think has something similar
<adisbladis>
In theory it would be possible to make a plugin that utilises kexec and could pivot any running linux system into a NixOS system (of course partitioning and other hw specifics would need to be solved too)
<ixxie>
fwiw, we will likely change the DO approach to upload an image
<ixxie>
any other method such as nixos infect and kexec is just slower

adisbladis: do you have a moment?

ixxie: Um, sure?

adisbladis: maybe its easier to share screen with you on the jitsi meet?
