| tcurdt | so, I have run disko ... now I want to try a nixos-install --flake .
for that it seems like I have to add the disko config.
is that really required? | 21:08:44 |
 bumperboat (UTC+2) | The disko module configures the mount points (and lvm, luks, etc) in the nixosConfiguration. Otherwise you'll have to do it twice I'd think | 22:09:14 |

tcurdt: here is how I do it Super interesting. Thank you!
I am not quite sure how you are using it though. I see installation-cd-base.
Do you create an ISO from this to start the install?

| tcurdt | Can you expand on this part though:
Creates a NixOS installer iso that contains the toplevel from the given nixosConfiguration in the closure. This installer will then runs the diskoScript from a given nixosConfiguration on boot, install the toplevel via nixos-install and reboot
This function requires that a disko configuration is already present inside of the given nixosConfiguration.
| 10:34:05 |
| tcurdt | You would create the iso, write that on e.g. a usbstick, the system would start, partition and install. | 10:35:41 |
| tcurdt | But you would still put the disko config into the nixosConfiguration? | 10:36:53 |
| tcurdt | Because here it says otherwise
This function does not require the given nixosConfiguration to have a disko configuration, as it will force an opinionated one in

But you would still put the disko config into the nixosConfiguration? Yes, you need to do that | 15:57:21 |
| matthewcroughan | The mkZfsNuke function doesn't need one, as I append one | 15:57:36 |

 nim65s | Hi !
What do you currently use/recommend for /boot size ? (and maybe separate /boot/efi ?)
I can see 500M here: https://github.com/nix-community/disko/blob/master/example/simple-efi.nix, and this is what I currently have on some Arch/Ubuntu, but I recently got issues with that (ubuntu got multiple 175M initrd files, among other things).
https://serverfault.com/questions/334663/what-is-the-recommended-size-for-a-linux-boot-partition is not a very good ref, but it at least show that it change a lot over time, and people tend to follow what their distro say. NixOS also seems to provide 512M by default.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/EFI_system_partition#Create_the_partition says 1 to 4G just to be sure 😅 | 09:38:36 |
 Fernando Rodrigues | 4 gigs for an EFI partition is a lot. I’d go with 1024M at a maximum. | 10:18:50 |
