ah that is already the impure script, but you can skip configuring a keyFile in that case I tried commenting it out like this: https://termbin.com/v5pk but then it doesn't build an image | 23:27:26 |

Is it possible to create an AWS image using nixos-generators with disk configuration defined by Disko? Honestly I would talk to Arianvp for stuff related to AWS images and nixos | 23:57:28 |

| tuxiqae | Did anyone have any success with generating NixOS images using NixOS on a non-NixOS instance? | 11:08:06 |

I tried commenting it out like this: https://termbin.com/v5pk but then it doesn't build an image lassulus: any other ideas? if not I'll submit an issue, but maybe I'm just doing it wrong? | 11:41:03 |
 lassulus | whats the output? did you try passwordFile? not sure it did something more smart :D | 11:41:29 |
| pinpox | lassulus: this is the output: https://gist.github.com/pinpox/a2ff60cadd0c8f40cbcf536a09b2552b | 11:49:29 |
| pinpox | It skipped over the password prompt instantly and errorer. Config is the one above, with the keyfile stuff commented out | 11:50:01 |
| lassulus | and you can't enter text in there? | 11:50:18 |
| pinpox | no | 11:50:23 |
| lassulus | hmm, sad | 11:50:27 |
| lassulus | then I guess passwordFile? | 11:50:40 |
| pinpox | In reply to @lassulus:lassul.us
then I guess passwordFile? but then it won't boot on the real thing as it keeps asking for the file | 11:51:20 |
| pinpox | In reply to @pinpox:matrix.org
sent an image. lassulus: | 11:51:29 |
| lassulus | wasn't that with keyFile? | 11:51:45 |
| pinpox | Ah i misread that. One sec, I'll try | 11:52:15 |
| pinpox | added passwordFile, now runnning sudo ./result --build-memory 4096 --pre-format-files /tmp/secret.key /tmp/secret.key . It seems to be baking something... | 11:56:23 |
| lassulus | hopefully not OOM | 11:58:52 |
| pinpox | I f'ed something up with the partition labels but the image and decryption works, thank you! | 12:15:37 |

| nebucatnetzer13 | I'm interested in this as well. Especially with UEFI support and encryption. | 17:43:00 |
| nebucatnetzer13 | Ah and building the whole thing on x86. | 17:43:39 |

| tuxiqae | Any idea what's the minimum NixOS image size? The Disko docs just say:
# WARNING: if you set a too low value the image might be not big enough to contain the nixos installation
| 20:13:22 |
| lassulus | depends on your closure size and disk setup | 20:13:51 |
| tuxiqae | I'm going to use it as an AWS AMI, and add more volumes if needed, if that makes any sense | 20:14:34 |
| tuxiqae | And I'm asking about the basics for now, since I might need to store that image in the store (I want to upload it to S3 using Terranix and am afraid that it'll only be able to use files which are found in the store) | 20:15:43 |
