Not able to create an instance on Linode

[RooSoft]

Every one of the dozens of attempt I made at creating a NixOS instance on Linode failed with similar error messages...

My most recent one was simply generated by this command with no configuration file:

nix run github:nix-community/nixos-generators -- -f linode

And it laid out this result in the web console:

I also tried to modify the code, as seen in this fork, according to the official documentation with the same result.

Can anybody create a linode instance with the current code? Maybe I'm doing something wrong...

Thank you very much!

I've created my linode nixos image on my local host then uploaded the image to linode.

I'm able to deploy VMs or rebuild VMs using this image.

But, I had to go to Linode -> my-linode -> Configurations -> Edit -> Select a Kernel -> GRUB 2 -> Save Changes

then Boot / Reboot the linode VM with my updated profile, My NixOS Profile – GRUB 2

I have successfully deployed a new VM with it, with no extra configuration, thanks for the help!

Now, how do you rebuild a vm with this thing?
