#!/usr/bin/env bash # Installs NixOS on a Hetzner server, wiping the server. # # This is for a specific server configuration; adjust where needed. # # Prerequisites: # * Update the script wherever FIXME is present # # Usage: # ssh root@YOUR_SERVERS_IP bash -s < hetzner-dedicated-wipe-and-install-nixos.sh # # When the script is done, make sure to boot the server from HD, not rescue mode again. # Explanations: # # * Adapted from https://gist.github.com/nh2/78d1c65e33806e7728622dbe748c2b6a # * Following largely https://nixos.org/nixos/manual/index.html#sec-installing-from-other-distro. # * **Important:** We boot in legacy-BIOS mode, not UEFI, because that's what Hetzner uses. # * NVMe devices aren't supported for booting (those require EFI boot) # * We set a custom `configuration.nix` so that we can connect to the machine afterwards, # inspired by https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Install_NixOS_on_Hetzner_Online # * This server has 2 HDDs. # We put everything on RAID1. # Storage scheme: `partitions -> RAID -> LVM -> ext4`. # * A root user with empty password is created, so that you can just login # as root and press enter when using the Hetzner spider KVM. # Of course that empty-password login isn't exposed to the Internet. # Change the password afterwards to avoid anyone with physical access # being able to login without any authentication. # * The script reboots at the end. # * does not use uefi (check if you can : efibootmgr) # Notes https://mazzo.li/posts/hetzner-zfs.html # FIXME : change password MAIN_PASSWORD="KlEBgwLgksT71cfIixM3eNDjIaZgFFvMDY8EoBs1Il" set -eu set -o pipefail set -x # Inspect existing disks lsblk # Undo existing setups to allow running the script multiple times to iterate on it. # We allow these operations to fail for the case the script runs the first time. set +e umount /mnt/boot-{1,2} umount /mnt vgchange -an cryptsetup close a_encrypted cryptsetup close b_encrypted set -e # Stop all mdadm arrays that the boot may have activated. mdadm --stop --scan # Prevent mdadm from auto-assembling arrays. # Otherwise, as soon as we create the partition tables below, it will try to # re-assemple a previous RAID if any remaining RAID signatures are present, # before we even get the chance to wipe them. # From: # https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/166688/prevent-debian-from-auto-assembling-raid-at-boot/504035#504035 # We use `>` because the file may already contain some detected RAID arrays, # which would take precedence over our ``. echo 'AUTO -all ARRAY UUID=00000000:00000000:00000000:00000000' > /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf # Create partition tables (--script to not ask) #parted --script /dev/sda mklabel gpt #parted --script /dev/sdb mklabel gpt #parted /dev/sda -- mklabel gpt #parted /dev/sda -- mkpart ESP fat32 1MiB 512MiB #parted /dev/sda -- set 1 boot on #parted /dev/sda -- mkpart primary 512MiB 100% format() { parted -s "$1" -- mklabel gpt parted -s "$1" -- mkpart 'BIOS-boot-partition' 1MB 2MB set 1 bios_grub on #parted -s "$1" -- mkpart 'boot' 2MB 512MiB #parted -s "$1" -- mkpart ESP fat32 2MB 512MiB parted -s "$1" -- mkpart ESP fat32 2MB 512MiB set 2 boot on #parted -s "$1" -- mkpart ESP fat32 1MiB 512MiB parted -s "$1" -- mkpart primary 512MiB 100% parted -s "$1" -- print } # In this particular machine we have two NVMe disks format /dev/sda format /dev/sdb # Create partitions (--script to not ask) # # We create the 1MB BIOS boot partition at the front. # # Note we use "MB" instead of "MiB" because otherwise `--align optimal` has no effect;
