     18 Installation
     19 ------------
     20 
     21 When installing a configuration, I prefer to use different methods based on the
     22 target machine.
     23 
     24 When I want to install a server, my choice is nixos-anywhere:
     25 
     26     $ nixos-anywhere --generate-hardware-config nixos-generate-config \
     27       hardware/server/default.nix --flake .#server <root@url>
     28 
     29 See <https://nix-community.github.io/nixos-anywhere> for more information.
     30 
     31 When instead I want to install my laptop configuration I would retrieve the
     32 official minimal ISO image from <https://nixos.org/download>, clone this
     33 repository, generate the hardware configuration file and use nixos-install:
     34 
     35     $ nixos-generate-config --show-hardware-config > hardware/laptop/default.nix
     36     # nixos-install --root /mnt --flake .#laptop --no-root-password --option \

     39 Usage
     40 -----
     41 
     42 When the server configuration changes, I rebuild the machine using 
     43 nixos-rebuild through SSH:
     44 
     45     $ nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#server --target-host <root@url>
     46 
     47 When the laptop configuration changes, I rebuild my laptop using nixos-rebuild:
     48 
     49     # nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#laptop
