# NixOS Proxmox Template Base

This folder contains a minimal NixOS base config you can copy into a new
template VM build.

## Files

- `flake.nix`: pins `nixos-24.11` and exposes one host config.
- `configuration.nix`: base settings for Proxmox guest use.

## Before first apply

1. Replace `REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_SSH_PUBLIC_KEY` in `configuration.nix`.
2. Add `hardware-configuration.nix` from the VM install:
   - `nixos-generate-config --root /`
   - copy `/etc/nixos/hardware-configuration.nix` next to `configuration.nix`

## Build/apply example inside the VM

```bash
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#template
```

## Notes

- This is intentionally minimal and avoids cloud-init assumptions.
- If you want host-specific settings, create additional modules and import them.
