2
3VERY VERY IMPORTANT NOTES:
4
5this was hell to setup, mostly because i wasn't sure if i could modprobe zram. but you can in fact do it and turn a 1gb of ram system into something more usable that let's you actually build the damn thing
6
7so three very important things
8
9USE ZRAM ON THE INSTALLER
10run this
11
12```sh
13modprobe zram
14echo zstd >/sys/block/zram0/comp_algorithm
15echo "2G" >/sys/block/zram0/disksize
16mkswap /dev/zram0
17swapon --priority 100 /dev/zram0
18```
19
20and when building it with nixos-anywhere be sure to use the --no-diskos-deps flag!!!
21
22```sh
23nix run github:nix-community/nixos-anywhere -- --no-disko-deps --flake <flake_location>#<system> --target-host root@<ip_address>
24```
