I just want to check with you, in case I misunderstood colmena.

Colmena is a tool to manage existing NixOS configurations. However it cannot create new NixOS installations.

Is that correct?
has anybody found a way to do what sntx is doing? I found something called "nixos-anywhere" but seems host or control machine also needs to be nixOS

@4censord:unfug.hs-furtwangen.de@4censord:unfug.hs-furtwangen.de

The least amount of (getting started) effort is just installing nixos by hand, and only then managing it with colmena.

To automate creation of new nixos hosts, either use some kind of template and something like OpenTofu (terraform), or something like nixos-infect with generic linux templates from your hosting provider

Nixos anywhere just requires ssh access and kexec on the to be provisioned host, but depending on where you want to create your machines it is just not worth the effort to do that declaratively
