This description is a repost of what was said about the project on the nix discourse
SkaraboxOS provides a flake template which combines:
- Creating a bootable ISO, installable on an USB key.
- nixos-anywhere to install NixOS headlessly.
- disko 1 to format the drives.
- deploy-rs 2 to deploy updates.
SkaraboxOS expects a particular hardware layout:
- 1 SSD or NVMe drive for the OS.
- 2 Hard drives that will store data. Capacity depends on the amount of data that will be stored. They will be formatted in Raid 1 (mirror) so each hard drive should have the same size.
WARNING: The 3 disks will be formatted and completely wiped out of data.
At the end of the process, the server will:
- Have an encrypted ZFS root partition using the NVMe drive, unlockable remotely through ssh.
- Have an encrypted ZFS data hard drives.
- Be accessible through ssh for administration and updates.
