nixos-nix-bitcoin-prototype

Prototype nix-bitcoin deployment and runtime on NixOS agnostically

Where are You going to run Your NixOS instance?

UC ID	Use Case Environment	HowTo
1	Raspberry Pi	follow ISO install + GDE AArch64 SD image
2	VirtualBox VM	follow OVA template deployment
3	vpsfree.cz	follow vpsfree.cz deployment
4	Native NixOS containers	wip

How are You going to deploy Your NixOS instance?

OVA template deployment

1. Download OVA template
2. Import it to VirtualBox
3. Start the VM
4. nix-env -i git

vpsfree.cz deployment

1. NixOS on vpsfree.cz
2. nixops with vpsfree.cz

Native NixOS containers

nix-bitcoin Rapid Prototyping

1. Flakes-based start of minimal nix-bitcoin QEMU VM

wip

2. Clone nix-bitcoin and create either NixOS container or QEMU VM (unprivileges account)

    git clone https://github.com/fort-nix/nix-bitcoin
    cd nix-bitcoin/examples/
    sudo sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
    sudo bash ./deploy-container.sh
   

Backlog

1. Podman rootless OCI containers
2. K8s on NixOS
3. nixos-config/configuration.nix example
