This description is a repost of what was said about the project on the nix discourse

SkaraboxOS provides a flake template which combines:

  • Creating a bootable ISO, installable on an USB key.
  • nixos-anywhere to install NixOS headlessly.
  • disko 1 to format the drives.
  • deploy-rs 2 to deploy updates.

SkaraboxOS expects a particular hardware layout:

  • 1 SSD or NVMe drive for the OS.
  • 2 Hard drives that will store data. Capacity depends on the amount of data that will be stored. They will be formatted in Raid 1 (mirror) so each hard drive should have the same size.

WARNING: The 3 disks will be formatted and completely wiped out of data.

At the end of the process, the server will:

  • Have an encrypted ZFS root partition using the NVMe drive, unlockable remotely through ssh.
  • Have an encrypted ZFS data hard drives.
  • Be accessible through ssh for administration and updates.
