### Installation From Scratch
I do recommend for this my sibling project [Skarabox][]
which bootstraps a new server and sets up a few tools:
- Creating a bootable ISO, installable on an USB key.
- [nixos-anywhere](https://github.com/nix-community/nixos-anywhere) to install NixOS headlessly.
- [disko](https://github.com/nix-community/disko) to format the drives using native ZFS encryption with remote unlocking through ssh.
- [sops-nix](https://github.com/Mic92/sops-nix) to handle secrets.
- [deploy-rs](https://github.com/serokell/deploy-rs) to deploy updates.
