# Amazon images

AMIs are regularly uploaded from Hydra. This automation lives in

## How to upload an AMI for testing
|
|
|
|
If you want to upload an AMI from changes in a local nixpkgs checkout.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
nix-build nixos/release.nix -A amazonImage
|
|
|
|
export AWS_REGION=us-west-2
|
|
export AWS_PROFILE=my-profile
|
|
nix run nixpkgs#upload-ami -- --image-info ./result/nix-support/image-info.json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## How to build your own NixOS config into an AMI
|
|
|
|
Use `nixos-rebuild build-image` as follows:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
NIXOS_CONFIG="$(pwd)/my-config.nix" nixos-rebuild build-image --image-variant amazon
|
|
|
|
export AWS_REGION=us-west-2
|
|
export AWS_PROFILE=my-profile
|
|
nix run github:NixOS/amis#upload-ami -- --image-info ./result/nix-support/image-info.json
|
|
```

## Roadmap
|
|
|
|
* @arianvp is planning to drop zfs support unless someone else picks it up
|
|
* @arianvp is planning to rewrite the image builder to use the repart-based image builder.
|
|
* @arianvp is planning to perhaps rewrite `upload-ami` to use coldnsap
|
|
* @arianvp is planning to move `upload-ami` tooling into nixpkgs once it has stabilized. And only keep the Github Action in separate repo
