Currently there is an upstream bug in the nixops package which results in an error during `nixops create`. That is why we have to build nixops from source until a binary with the bug-fix is released.
Build Nixops from source
```
git clone https://github.com/NixOS/nixops
cd ~/nixops
nix-build release.nix -A build.x86_64-linux
cd
```
This should output a last line like `/nix/store/wa6nk3aqxjb2mgl9pkwrnawqnh9z1b9d-nixops-1.6.1pre0_abcdef/`. This is the directory Nixops is installed in. Note it for later.
Create Host Adapter in VirtualBox
```
Open VirtualBox
File -> Host Network Manager -> Create
This should create a hostadapter named vboxnet0
```
Clone this project
```
cd
git clone https://github.com/jonasnick/nix-bitcoin
cd ~/nix-bitcoin
```
Generate Secrets
```
./generate_secrets.sh
```
Create Nixops
```
nixops create network.nix network-vbox.nix -d bitcoin-node
```
Replace `nixops` with the path to the nixops you built from source. For example: `/nix/store/wa6nk3aqxjb2mgl9pkwrnawqnh9z1b9d-nixops-1.6.1pre0_abcdef/bin/nixops`. Alternatively you can change your path, i.e. `export PATH=/nix/store/wa6nk3aqxjb2mgl9pkwrnawqnh9z1b9d-nixops-1.6.1pre0_abcdef/bin/:$PATH` so you can just type nixops.
Deploy Nixops
```
nixops deploy -d bitcoin-node
```
If you haven't changed your nixops path, replace `nixops` with the path to the nixops you built from source. For example: `/nix/store/wa6nk3aqxjb2mgl9pkwrnawqnh9z1b9d-nixops-1.6.1pre0_abcdef/bin/nixops`
This will now create a nix-bitcoin node in a VirtualBox on your computer.
Nixops automatically creates a ssh key and adds it to your computer.
Access `bitcoin-node` through ssh
```
nixops ssh operator@bitcoin-node
```
If you haven't changed your nixops path, replace `nixops` with the path to the nixops you built from source. For example: `/nix/store/wa6nk3aqxjb2mgl9pkwrnawqnh9z1b9d-nixops-1.6.1pre0_abcdef/bin/nixops`
