<title>Building Your Own NixOS CD</title>

|
|
<para>Building a NixOS CD is as easy as configuring your own computer. The
|
||
|
|
idea is to use another module which will replace
|
||
|
|
your <filename>configuration.nix</filename> to configure the system that
|
||
|
|
would be installed on the CD.</para>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<para>Default CD/DVD configurations are available
|
||
|
|
inside <filename>nixos/modules/installer/cd-dvd</filename>. To build them
|
||
|
|
you have to set <envar>NIXOS_CONFIG</envar> before
|
||
|
|
running <command>nix-build</command> to build the ISO.

|
|
$ nix-build -A config.system.build.isoImage -I nixos-config=modules/installer/cd-dvd/installation-cd-minimal.nix</screen>

</para>
|

|
|
|

|
|
<para>Before burning your CD/DVD, you can check the content of the image by mounting anywhere like
|
||
|
|
suggested by the following command:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<screen>
|
||
|
|
$ mount -o loop -t iso9660 ./result/iso/cd.iso /mnt/iso</screen>
