This will configure and build the new NixOS server. Since the configurations are
defined in the flake, it will not create `/etc/nixos/configuration.nix`. If you
need to make changes to the configuration in future, you should make the changes
in the flake, and rebuild using the --flake option as shown below:
```
nixos-rebuild --flake <flake URL> switch
```

The new server's configurations are defined in the flake. `nixos-anywhere` does
not create `etc/nixos/configuration.nix`since it expects the server to be
administered remotely. Any future changes to the configuration should be made to
the flake, and you would reference this flake when doing the rebuild:
```
nixos-rebuild --flake <URL to your flake> switch
```
