Quick Start

1. Install NixOS on each machine

Boot from a standard NixOS x86_64 ISO and partition your disk with labels boot (FAT32) and nixos (ext4), then:

nixos-generate-config --root /mnt

2. Clone and apply

git clone <your-repo> /etc/nixos
cd /etc/nixos
nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#cyper-controller   # on the controller
nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#cyper-node1        # on node1
# ... etc

3. k3s cluster setup

After cyper-controller is up, retrieve the node token and apply it on each agent:

# On cyper-controller:
cat /var/lib/rancher/k3s/server/node-token

# On each agent, set the token in the k3s service environment:
# Edit hosts/services/k3s-agent.nix and add:
#   tokenFile = "/etc/k3s-token";
# Then create /etc/k3s-token with the token value and rebuild.

Customization

Change username

Edit flake.nix:

primaryUser = "your-username";

Add packages per host

Edit hosts/<hostname>/configuration.nix and add to environment.systemPackages.

Adjust PostgreSQL

Edit hosts/cyper-controller/postgres.nix — memory settings are pre-tuned for x86_64 with 8GB+ RAM.

DNS entries

Edit hosts/cyper-controller/dns.nix to add static A records or adjust DHCP ranges.

Locale & Timezone

Defaults (same as cyper-rpi):

Timezone: Europe/Berlin
Locale: en_US.UTF-8 with German regional settings

Change in nixos/settings.nix.
