 @linus:schreibt.jetzt | that's news to me, but good to know! | 13:22:51 |
 kenran_ | I cancelled it because I thought installing and booting NixOS wouldn't be possible, and now ordered a 2nd one after trying it out and getting it to work. | 13:23:14 |

that's news to me, but good to know! Oh, don't believe me! It looks like it, but it could well be that there will be an invoice next month :D | 13:23:45 |
| kenran_ | I just thought I read it this way. No invoice so far. And if it would cost me the full monthly amount (initial setup was 0 euros), I'd have hoped to be able to use it for the remaining 29 days. | 13:24:27 |
| kenran_ | I can tell you for certain in a month :D | 13:24:46 |
| @linus:schreibt.jetzt | yeah that might be a special case with the short term cancellation, usually when you cancel the dedicated servers they don't get terminated until the end of the month | 13:26:57 |
| @linus:schreibt.jetzt | (the billing month) | 13:27:02 |
| kenran_ | It may be because we hadn't yet done anything to it, or as you say, same-day cancellation. | 13:28:04 |
| kenran_ | I cancelled it due to the comment at the top of https://github.com/nix-community/nixos-install-scripts/blob/master/hosters/hetzner-dedicated/hetzner-dedicated-wipe-and-install-nixos.sh | 13:28:35 |

| kenran_ | The kexec way worked out fine for me with slight adaptations. Sadly after trying to port our existing hydra nixos config there, the server refused to start.... now I'll just do it again 🙃 | 13:29:47 |
| @linus:schreibt.jetzt | can very much recommend the KVM console, it's very helpful to be able to see the screen of the machine for why it's not booting | 13:30:54 |
| kenran_ | I didn't need the KVM console (I don't actually know what exactly it is or how it looks) yet, as I could put it into rescue system again. | 13:31:17 |
| kenran_ | With the console, do I get access to the boot loader screen? | 13:31:47 |
| @linus:schreibt.jetzt | yep | 13:31:53 |
| kenran_ | Ah nice, so I could just start the previous generation of NixOS. | 13:32:06 |
| kenran_ | Thanks for the recommendation! | 13:32:13 |
| kenran_ | Hum, after having reset the server to the rescue mode and having gone back to kexec, I suddenly got a message that the server would restart in 5 minutes, which it did, killing my progress. Any idea what could have triggered that reboot? | 14:21:12 |
| kenran_ | In reply to @lewo:matrix.org
So, fisrt, you need to be sure KVM is available. Finally got around to setting up hydra on a dedicated server today. I'm pretty confident that everything will go more smoothly with usable kvm :) The first jobs are running already! | 16:05:37 |

Any idea what could have triggered that reboot? Yeah that's built into some of the kexec images... | 16:56:24 |
| @linus:schreibt.jetzt | Not sure which ones exactly but I don't think that part is in nixpkgs, so probably check whatever's not from nixpkgs | 16:57:01 |

 Dandellion | It seems to only happeb when I manually start the evaluation. When it gets ran automatically it completes and starts building | 12:33:26 |

 Robert Hensing (roberth) | is this the right place to request a hydra.nixos.org jobset change? | 17:53:45 |
