nixos-generators - one config, multiple formats

The nixos-generators project allows to take the same NixOS configuration, and generate outputs for different target formats.

Just put your stuff into the config.nix and then call one of the image builders.

for example:

./nixos-generate -f iso

./nixos-generate -f iso -c /etc/nixos/configuration.nix

it echoes the path to a iso image, which you then can flash onto an usb-stick or mount & boot in a virtual machine.

Supported formats

format	description
gce	Google Compute Image
iso	Installer ISO
kexec
kexec-bundle
openstack
qcow2
virtualbox
vm	only used as a qemu-kvm runner
vm-nogui	same as before, but without a GUI

Run ./nixos-generate --help for detailed usage information
