    What are the _obvious_ reasons for the NAS root to have an SSH key?

  • I'd like the see the author achieve the same setup but with Nix
  • You can do the same from an USI made from mkosi (mainstream distros support) with kernel boot parameter systemd.volatile=overlay. https://github.com/rhee876527/UKIfy-Xubuntu
  • This looks interesting. I just set up an Alpine Diskless system that boots from a USB stick.

    I originally tried to set up a NixOS diskless system with persistence for the same reason as the author but the LLM jerked me around and I had little understanding of the implications of the commands I was using. So I thought it best to pull the plug on that and stick with something more familiar.

  • If you already have a ZFS pool, I'd probably personally just throw on zfsbootmenu and a ZFS-root Alpine install. But, this is cooler and does have advantages:)
