Installing on a new machine

Install NixOS from an ISO via USB
Reboot machine
Edit /etc/nixos/configuration.nix and add git to packages
Clone this repo
Create a new directory under hosts/ for the new machine
Copy /etc/nixos/hardware-configuration.nix to hosts/<host>/hardware.nix

Register the host in flake.nix via mkHost:

nixosConfigurations.<host> = mkHost { host = "<host>"; };

git add .
Run sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#<host>

Building NixOS VM

nix build .#nixosConfigurations.vm.config.system.build.vm
