## Hoster notes:
### Aliyun ECS
Aliyun ECS tested on ecs.s6-c1m2.large, region **cn-shanghai**, needs a few tweaks:
- replace nix binary cache with [tuna mirror](https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/help/nix/) (with instructions in the page)

### AWS Lightsail
Make sure to set `PROVIDER="lightsail"`.
Setting a root ssh key manually is not necessary, the key provided as part of the instance launch process will be used.
If you run into issues, debug using the most similar ec2 instance that is on the Nitro platform. Nitro platform instances have a serial console that allow you to troubleshoot boot issues, and Lightsail instances are just EC2 with a different pricing model and UI.
### Clouding.io
I could not get it to run via UserData scripts, but downloading and executing the script worked flawlessly.

### Contabo
Tested on Cloud VPS. Contabo sets the hostname to something like `vmi######.contaboserver.net`, Nixos only allows RFC 1035 compliant hostnames ([see here](https://search.nixos.org/options?show=networking.hostName&query=hostname)). Run `hostname something_without_dots` before running the script. If you run the script before changing the hostname - remove the `/etc/nixos/configuration.nix` so it's regenerated with the new hostname.

To set up a NixOS Vultr server, instantiate an Ubuntu box with the following "Cloud-Init User-Data":

### Liga Hosting
### Tencent Cloud Lighthouse
Tencent Cloud Lighthouse **Hong Kong** Region Works out of the box.
Liga Hosting works without any issue. You'll need to add your ssh key to the host either during
build time or using `ssh-copy-id` before running nixos-infect
Other Regions in China may not work because of the unreliable connection between China and global Internet or [GFW](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Firewall).

### OVHcloud
Before executing the install script, you may need to check your mounts with `df -h`. By default, OVH adds a relatively short in memory `tmpfs` mount on the `/tmp` folder, so the install script runs short in memory and fails. Just execute `umount /tmp` before launching the install script. Full install process described [here](https://lyderic.origenial.fr/install-nixos-on-ovh)
