Netboot Installer Documentation

Installing NixOS using the "netboot" media

These instructions assume that you have an existing PXE or iPXE infrastructure and simply want to add the NixOS installer as another option.

  1. Obtain netboot media consisting of:
  • bzImage -- the Linux kernel
  • initrd -- the initrd file
  • netboot.ipxe -- an example ipxe script demonstrating the appropriate kernel command line arguments for this image
  1. Place the bzImage, initrd, and optionally, the netboot.ipxe script on your HTTP/TFTP server
  2. Rename and/or customize the netboot.ipxe script with any required paths before the file names
  3. If you are not using the included netboot.ipxe file, make sure that when booted the kernel will get the appropriate kernel command line arguments that are included in it.

These instructions assume that you have an existing PXE or iPXE infrastructure and simply want to add the NixOS installer as another option. To build the necessary files from a recent version of nixpkgs, you can run:

nix-build -A netboot nixos/release.nix

This will create a result directory containing:

  • bzImage -- the Linux kernel
