Allow us to define files to be copied into the image

I think this would be a great feature, if you need to bring some files along, that are not part of any nix package. It could also be used to...

I want to run thousands of instances of the same LXC image. The `/nix/store` is always 551MB even tho its basically just: ``` services = { openssh.enable = true; dnsmasq.enable...

auto-installer ISO?

5

This project seems like a nice way to install custom images on cloud services that don't allow image uploads (like vultr). It would be nice if we could: * make...

Make output less verbose by default

It should not output anything except the image path when no error happen by default. You can introduce a verbose flag for the current output. Then we can pipe the...

Heya, it would be fantastic if nixos-generator could generate a basic image similar to sd-aarch64 but to directly `dd` onto a hard drive. I tried writing a RAW image onto...
