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

or

./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
install-iso	Installer ISO
iso	ISO
kexec
kexec-bundle
openstack
qcow2
raw
virtualbox
vm	only used as a qemu-kvm runner
vm-nogui	same as before, but without a GUI

Usage

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