Installs nixos on encrypted root from live CD.

nixos-install-encrypted-root.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash
#
#   Installs nixos with full disk encrypted root partition.
#
#   - Prompts for password initially, after that no interaction should
#     be required.
#   - At the end it will prompt for a root password, could not make
#     echo-ing it into nixos-install work.
#   - Reserves 550MB for boot partition, rest for the root volume.
#   - After booting, log in as root user and set password for normal user.
#   - Removed LVM on Luks due to terrible (only 20%) write performance (???)
#
#  USAGE:
#   1. Fill in variables on top.
#   2. $bash install.sh
#
