## Install/Fix system from Hetzner recovery mode
1. Format and/or mount all filesystems to /mnt:
1. Install kexec image from Hetzner recovery system as described in [kexec.nix](roles/kexec.nix) and boot into it
``` console
# format disk with as follow:
# - partition 1 will be the boot partition, needed for legacy (BIOS) boot
# - partition 2 is for boot partition
# - partition 3 takes up the rest of the space and is for the system
$ sgdisk -n 1:2048:4095 -n 2:4096:+2G -N 3 -t 1:ef02 -t 2:8304 -t 3:8304 /dev/nvme0n1
$ sgdisk -n 1:2048:4095 -n 2:4096:+2G -N 3 -t 1:ef02 -t 2:8304 -t 3:8304 /dev/nvme1n1
# create mdadm raid for /boot with ext4
$ mdadm --create --verbose /dev/md127 --raid-devices=2 --level=1 /dev/nvme{0,1}n1p2
$ mkfs.ext4 -F /dev/md127
# format zpool
# use partuuids as they are more stable than device names
$ ls -la /dev/disk/by-partuuid/
$ zpool create zroot -O acltype=posixacl -O xattr=sa -O compression=lz4 mirror /dev/disk/by-partuuid/long-uuid1 /dev/disk/by-partuuid/long-uuid2
$ zpool create zroot -O acltype=posixacl -O xattr=sa -O compression=lz4 mirror /dev/nvme{0,1}n1p3
$ zfs create -o mountpoint=none zroot/root
$ zfs create -o mountpoint=legacy zroot/root/nixos
$ zfs create -o mountpoint=legacy zroot/root/home
# and finally mount
$ mount -t zfs zroot/root/nixos /mnt
$ mkdir /mnt/{home,boot}
$ mount -t zfs zroot/root/home /mnt/home
$ mount -t ext4 /dev/md127 /mnt/boot
```
2. Install kexec image from Hetzner recovery system as described in [kexec.nix](roles/kexec.nix) and boot into it
3. Download infra repo
``` console
$ nix-shell -p git --run "git clone https://github.com/nix-community/infra && cd infra && nix-shell"
# Just in case generate hardware-configuration.nix and compare it with what we have in the repos
$ nixos-generate-config --root /mnt
$ diff -aur /mnt/etc/nixos/hardware-configuration.nix buildXX/hardware-configuration.nix
```
4. Build and install system
2. Format and/or mount all filesystems to /mnt:
```console
$ nixos-install --system $(nix-build -A buildXX-system)
$ inv format-disks --hosts buildXX --disks /dev/nvme0n1,/dev/nvme1n1
```
3. Setup secrets
```console
$ inv setup-secret --hosts buildXX
```
4. Generate configuration and download to the repo
```console
$ nixos-generate-config --root /tmp
$ scp buildXX.nix-community.org:/tmp/etc/nixos/hardware-configuration.nix buildXX/hardware-configuration.nix
```
5. Build and install
```console
$ inv install-nixos --hosts buildXX
```
