Installation

Prerequisites

  1. Install the Nix package manager or NixOS (link)
  2. Enable flake and nix commands (link)

Bootstrapping

We bootstrap our servers using nixos-anywhere. This reformats the hard disk of the server and installs a fresh NixOS. Additionally, it deploys an age identity, which is later used for decrypting secrets.

⚠️ This will wipe your server completely ⚠️

  1. Make sure your have a Secret service running (such as Keepassxc) that provides the age identity.
  2. Ensure you have root SSH access to the server.
  3. Run nixos-anywhere: nix run .#bootstrap <servername> <hostname>

Deployment

To deploy all servers at once: nix run nixpkgs#deploy-rs -- .# -k To deploy only one server: nix run nixpkgs#deploy-rs -- -k --targets .#<host>

Deploying to Kubernetes

To deploy to the Kubernetes cluster, first make sure you have an admin account on the cluster. You can generate this using nix run .#gen-k3s-cert <username> <servername> ~/.kube, assuming you have SSH access to the master node. This puts a private key, signed certificate and a kubeconfig in the kubeconfig directory

If the cluster has not been initialized yet, next run nix run .#kubenix-bootstrap.x86_64-linux.

Lastly, deploy everything to the cluster using nix run .#kubenix.x86_64-linux.

Known bugs

Rsync not available during bootstrap

The rsync command was removed from recent NixOS ISO which causes nixos-anywhere to fail when copying extra files. See this issue. Solution is to execute nix-env -iA nixos.rsync on the host.
