#! /usr/bin/env bash

# Script to install NixOS from the Hetzner Cloud NixOS bootable ISO image.
# (tested with Hetzner's `NixOS 20.03 (amd64/minimal)` ISO image).
#
# This script wipes the disk of the server!
#
# Instructions:
#
# 1. Mount the above mentioned ISO image from the Hetzner Cloud GUI
#    and reboot the server into it; do not run the default system (e.g. Ubuntu).
# 2. To be able to SSH straight in (recommended), you must replace hardcoded pubkey
#    further down in the section labelled "Replace this by your SSH pubkey" by you own,
#    and host the modified script way under a URL of your choosing
#    (e.g. gist.github.com with git.io as URL shortener service).
# 3. Run on the server:
#
#       # Replace this URL by your own that has your pubkey in
#       curl -L https://home.alanpearce.eu/public/hetzner.sh | sudo bash
#
#    This will install NixOS and power off the server.
# 4. Unmount the ISO image from the Hetzner Cloud GUI.
# 5. Turn the server back on from the Hetzner Cloud GUI.
#
# To run it from the Hetzner Cloud web terminal without typing it down,
# you can either select it and then middle-click onto the web terminal, (that pastes
# to it), or use `xdotool` (you have e.g. 3 seconds to focus the window):
#
#     sleep 3 && xdotool type --delay 50 'curl YOUR_URL_HERE | sudo bash'
#
# (In the xdotool invocation you may have to replace chars so that
# the right chars appear on the US-English keyboard.)
#
# If you do not replace the pubkey, you'll be running with my pubkey, but you can
# change it afterwards by logging in via the Hetzner Cloud web terminal as `root`
# with empty password.

# Hetzner Cloud OS images grow the root partition to the size of the local
# disk on first boot. In case the NixOS live ISO is booted immediately on
# first powerup, that does not happen. Thus we need to grow the partition
# by deleting and re-creating it.
