# Create host with nixos-anywhere
We use a nixos-anywhere wrapper script to deploy new hosts.
The wrapper script takes care of copying persistent host keys before calling nixos-anywhere.

To accomplish that boot the host from a nixos image and setup a root password.
``` bash
sudo su
passwd
```

After that get the hosts ip using `ip a` and start deployment from your own machine:

``` bash
# from infrastrucutre repository root dir:
nix develop .#
remote-install hostname 10.0.42.23
```

# Testing Disko
Testing disko partitioning is working quite well. Just run the following and check the datasets in the vm:
```bash
nix run -L .\#nixosConfigurations.fanny.config.system.build.vmWithDisko
```
