Amazon images
AMIs are regularly uploaded from Hydra. This automation lives in https://github.com/NixOS/amis
How to upload an AMI for testing
If you want to upload an AMI from changes in a local nixpkgs checkout.
nix-build nixos/release.nix -A amazonImage
export AWS_REGION=us-west-2
export AWS_PROFILE=my-profile
nix run nixpkgs#upload-ami -- --image-info ./result/nix-support/image-info.json
How to build your own NixOS config into an AMI
I suggest looking at https://github.com/nix-community/nixos-generators for a user-friendly interface.
nixos-generate -c ./my-config.nix -f amazon
export AWS_REGION=us-west-2
export AWS_PROFILE=my-profile
nix run github:NixOS/amis#upload-ami -- --image-info ./result/nix-support/image-info.json
Roadmap
- @arianvp is planning to drop zfs support unless someone else picks it up
- @arianvp is planning to rewrite the image builder to use the repart-based image builder.
- @arianvp is planning to perhaps rewrite
upload-amito use coldnsap - @arianvp is planning to move
upload-amitooling into nixpkgs once it has stabilized. And only keep the Github Action in separate repo
