A custom NixOS installer image. Setting up a new machine takes minutes instead of an evening. My public key, the tools I always need, and my defaults are declared in the image.

Using it

CI builds the image and attaches it to the latest release. Fetch it and flash it:

wget https://github.com/ItzEmoji/nixos-images/releases/latest/download/nixos-installer.iso
dd if=nixos-installer.iso of=/dev/sdX

That is the whole thing. The live environment already trusts my SSH key, so I can drive the rest of the install from another machine.

It is made to be forked. Change the username and repo references and CI builds an image with your keys instead of mine.
