 kenran_ | I'm looking to replace a Hetzner Cloud VM that Hydra is running on with a dedicated server (in order to be able to use /dev/kvm). Do you know if https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Install_NixOS_on_Hetzner_Online is still up to date? | 06:53:52 |
| kenran_ | In particular, it links to a script mentioning
# * **Important:** We boot in legacy-BIOS mode, not UEFI, because that's what Hetzner uses.
# * NVMe devices aren't supported for booting (those require EFI boot)
| 06:55:14 |
| kenran_ | Hetzner for a while now mentions that they support UEFI boot natively. But I don't know what UEFI Rescue System is currently in the beta stage. means in this context. | 06:57:16 |
| kenran_ | I'm wondering if I can now order an small NVMe-using dedicated server there and install NixOS on it without ordering an additional HDD. | 06:57:56 |

| Rick (Mindavi) | So if you lose access you may run into issues accessing via the web kvm | 07:14:00 |

So if you lose access you may run into issues accessing via the web kvm I haven't ever actually used a dedicated server there, so I'm a bit anxious. I'd probably try the Bootstray from the Rescue System approach described in the Wiki above. Is that a good idea? | 07:15:37 |

| Rick (Mindavi) | Hopefully someone else can give some insight, I don't know that much about it otherwise | 07:24:17 |
| kenran_ | Thanks! | 07:31:47 |
| kenran_ | I'm just a little hesitant right now, but since the servers are payed hourly, there's probably not that much of a risk to just trying. | 07:44:50 |
 Sandro | I would just give it a try 🙃
Worst case you need to rebuild your cache but there shouldn't be any data loss. | 08:11:35 |
| kenran_ | Seems to have worked with some tiny changes (sudo wasn't there, slightly different commands and such). Woo! | 08:29:38 |
|  Florian | W3F changed their display name from Florian | W3F to Florian | OoO till 20.06.. | 09:21:15 |
