# systemd-based initramfs for NixOS

![](doc/nixos-init.svg)

This is an experimental attempt to reimplement the stage-1 initramfs of NixOS

so that it is managed by systemd rather than boring shell scripts.

## Use

* Currently the primary way of building this initramfs is just `nix-build` in the

root of the repository.

* But it is also possible to import the modules from this repository into

  your regular NixOS config and build it normally:

  ```nix

  # /etc/nixos/configuration.nix

  {

    imports = [

      # ... other imports ...

    ]

    ++ import /path/to/nixos-init/modules/module-list.nix;

    # ...

  }

  ```
