Target with no access to internet #296
Comments
Hello,
You can already scp a custom (or pre-downloaded) kexec image and pass the filename to nixos-anywheres |
It's not quite what I was asking here. I was asking about a feature that allows the local machine to automatically 'wget' the correct 'kexec' file and then 'scp' the 'kexec' file to the target host. The goal is to automate the system for offline targets and always ensure we send the latest and correct 'kexec' file. |
Okay, just to make sure: You are asking about a flag that does the equivalent of:
The installation should then work without network - except for the SSH connection you need for nixos-anywhere - anywhere. |
That's what I was thinking 👍 |
Hello,
I am writing to request a feature that would allow for offline installation of nixOS anywhere. Currently, the installation script attempts to download the kexec installer from the internet, which is problematic for systems without internet access.
Here is the error message I encountered during my attempt to install NixOS on an offline system:
I propose that an option be added to the installation script to allow for the local download of the kexec file, which can then be transferred to the target system using scp or another file transfer method. This would greatly facilitate the installation of NixOS on systems without internet access.
Thank you for considering this request.
