# Amazon images | ||
|
||
* The `create-amis.sh` script will be replaced by https://github.com/NixOS/amis which will regularly upload AMIs per NixOS channel bump. | ||
AMIs are regularly uploaded from Hydra. This automation lives in | ||
https://github.com/NixOS/amis | ||
|
||
* @arianvp is planning to drop zfs support | ||
* @arianvp is planning to rewrite the image builder to use the repart-based image builder. | ||
|
||
## 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 | ||
|
||
I suggest looking at https://github.com/nix-community/nixos-generators for a user-friendly interface. | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
nixos-generate -c ./my-config.nix -f 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 |
