Requirements

To deploy

To deploy a numbus-backup-server, you will need :

  • A live NixOS bootable USB disk.

You will make the target machine boot into the NixOS live environment using this USB stick. Download the NixOS iso image.

On Linux : Flash it using Impression (flatpak) or BalenaEtcher (AppImage).

On MacOS : Flash it using BalenaEtcher.

On Windows : Flash it using Rufus or BalenaEtcher.

  • Source Machine:

Can be any machine with Nix installed, e.g. a NixOS machine.

  • Target Machine:

Can be any computer (desktop, SFF, tiny/mini/micro, even a laptop). It could be a dedicated server that you bought or just some computer that you decided to repurpose into a backup server.

  • Network connection between the source and the target machine.
