@khartahk:matrix.orgkhartahkHey, if anyone can point me to some docs that would explain to me how can I trim the NixOS installation to as little as possible I'd really appreciate it. Or if someone can share a configuration.nix that basicaly just installs the bare minimum. I'm trying to see if it's possible to install and run NixOS (as a server so no GUI) on 512MB. Any help would be greatly appreciated.23:46:04
@emilazy:matrix.orgemily512 MB is not likely to be a pleasant experience, I would recommend using something else.23:49:43

@khartahk:matrix.orgkhartahkThe other option is to swap the drive that's embedded with a larger USB Stick. Which is doable but I'm just trying to see what can be done. It would probably not run much perhaps a SAMBA/NFS share or even that perhaps could utilize zfs to do that. Unless zfs would consume to much space then I'd opt for a mdadm style raid or something like that. Is there a way I could perhaps just boot NixOS from the drive then run it all from memory? 08:38:33
@k900:0upti.meK900Wait08:40:08
@k900:0upti.meK900 512MB disk 08:40:11
@k900:0upti.meK900 Or 512MB memory 08:40:13
@k900:0upti.meK900If it's 512MB disk, and you have a network, just netboot?08:40:26
@khartahk:matrix.orgkhartahkIt's disk and I want this to be a self sufficient NAS for backups which won't have a network drive available to boot from that.08:56:10
@khartahk:matrix.orgkhartahkMemory is 2GB08:56:27
@k900:0upti.meK900Uhh08:58:02
@k900:0upti.meK900And you can't use anything bigger than 512MB?08:58:08
@k900:0upti.meK900Maybe you can do some sort of squashfs thing then08:58:14
@k900:0upti.meK900Because like, if you're going to be updating it, ever, you'll need double the disk space in case of staging merges08:58:31
