An initial install will can be done with ``nixos-rebuild switch --flake /etc/nixos/.#host``, where ``host`` is a hostname defined in this flake. You may also have to enable "experimental" features with a flag, such as nix-command and flakes. Use ``sudo nix --experimental-features "nix-command flakes" run github:nix-community/disko/latest -- --mode destroy,format,mount ./filename.nix`` to format the disk with Disko.
You will want to generate a hardware-config.nix file using ``nixos-generate-config --root ./ --no-filesystems``, and adapt it to fit the format of ``/hosts``, adjusting for your specific system.

My server's config heavily references a git-crypt protected secrets file. These will have to be adapted and rewritten if anyone is to use my config directly.
