Building a NixOS CD is as easy as configuring your own computer. The idea is
|
||
|
|
to use another module which will replace your
|
||
|
|
<filename>configuration.nix</filename> to configure the system that would be
|
||
|
|
installed on the CD.

Default CD/DVD configurations are available inside
|
||
|
|
<filename>nixos/modules/installer/cd-dvd</filename>.

<screen>
|

|
|
<prompt>$ </prompt>git clone https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs.git
|
||
|
|
<prompt>$ </prompt>cd nixpkgs/nixos
|

|

<prompt>$ </prompt>nix-build -A config.system.build.isoImage -I nixos-config=modules/installer/cd-dvd/installation-cd-minimal.nix default.nix</screen>

Before burning your CD/DVD, you can check the content of the image by
|
||
|
|
mounting anywhere like suggested by the following command:
|
||
|
|
<screen>
|
||
|
|
<prompt># </prompt>mount -o loop -t iso9660 ./result/iso/cd.iso /mnt/iso</screen>
