+Tutorial: install and configure NixOS for nix-bitcoin on your own hardware
+---
+## 1. NixOS installation
+
+This is borrowed from the [NixOS manual](https://nixos.org/nixos/manual/index.html#ch-installation). Look there for more information.
+
+1. Obtain latest NixOS. For example:
+
+	```
+	wget https://releases.nixos.org/nixos/18.09/nixos-18.09.2257.235487585ed/nixos-graphical-18.09.2257.235487585ed-x86_64-linux.iso
+	```
+
+2. Write NixOS iso to install media (USB/CD). For example:
+
+	```
+	dd if=nixos-graphical-18.09.2257.235487585ed-x86_64-linux.iso of=/dev/sdX
+	```
+	Replace /dev/sdX with the correct device name. You can find this using `sudo fdisk -l`
+
+3. Boot the system
+
+	You will have to find out if your hardware uses UEFI or Legacy Boot for the next step.
+
+4. Option 1: Partition and format for UEFI
+
+	```
+	parted /dev/sda -- mklabel gpt
+	parted /dev/sda -- mkpart primary 512MiB -8GiB
+	parted /dev/sda -- mkpart primary linux-swap -8GiB 100%
+	parted /dev/sda -- mkpart ESP fat32 1MiB 512MiB
+	parted /dev/sda -- set 3 boot on
+	mkfs.ext4 -L nixos /dev/sda1
+	mkswap -L swap /dev/sda2
+	mkfs.fat -F 32 -n boot /dev/sda3
+	mount /dev/disk/by-label/nixos /mnt
+	mkdir -p /mnt/boot
+	mount /dev/disk/by-label/boot /mnt/boot
+	swapon /dev/sda2
+	```
+
+4. Option 2: Partition and format for Legacy Boot (MBR)
+
+	```
+	parted /dev/sda -- mklabel msdos
+	parted /dev/sda -- mkpart primary 1MiB -8GiB
+	parted /dev/sda -- mkpart primary linux-swap -8GiB 100%
+	mkfs.ext4 -L nixos /dev/sda1
+	mkswap -L swap /dev/sda2
+	mount /dev/disk/by-label/nixos /mnt
+	swapon /dev/sda2
+	```
+
+5. Generate NixOS config
+
+	```
+	nixos-generate-config --root /mnt
+	nano /mnt/etc/nixos/configuration.nix
+	```
+
+	Option 1: Edit NixOS configuration for UEFI
+
+	```
+	{ config, pkgs, ... }: {
+	  imports = [
+	    # Include the results of the hardware scan.
+	    ./hardware-configuration.nix
+	  ];
+
+	  boot.loader.systemd-boot.enable = true;
+
+	  # Note: setting fileSystems is generally not
+	  # necessary, since nixos-generate-config figures them out
+	  # automatically in hardware-configuration.nix.
+	  #fileSystems."/".device = "/dev/disk/by-label/nixos";
+	
+	  # Enable the OpenSSH server.
+	  services.openssh = {
+	    enable = true;
+	    permitRootLogin = "yes";
+	  };
+	}
+	```
+
+	Option 2: Edit NixOS configuration for Legacy Boot (MBR)
+
+	```
+	{ config, pkgs, ... }: {
+	  imports = [
+	    # Include the results of the hardware scan.
+	    ./hardware-configuration.nix
+	  ];
+	
+	  boot.loader.grub.device = "/dev/sda"; 
+	
+	  # Note: setting fileSystems is generally not
+	  # necessary, since nixos-generate-config figures them out
+	  # automatically in hardware-configuration.nix.
+	  #fileSystems."/".device = "/dev/disk/by-label/nixos";
+	
+	  # Enable the OpenSSH server.
+	  services.openssh = {
+	    enable = true;
+	    permitRootLogin = "yes";
+	  };
+	}
+	```
+
+6. Do the installation
+
+	```
+	nixos-install
+	```
+	Set root password
+	```
+	setting root password...
+	Enter new UNIX password: 
+	Retype new UNIX password:
+	```
+
+7. If everything went well
+
+	```
+	reboot
+	```
+
+## 2. nix-bitcoin installation
+
+On the machine you are deploying from:
+
+1. Install Dependencies (Debian 9 stretch)
+
+	```
+	sudo apt-get install curl git gnupg2 dirmngr
+	```
+
+2. Install Latest Nix with GPG Verification
+
+	```
+	curl -o install-nix-2.1.3 https://nixos.org/nix/install
+	curl -o install-nix-2.1.3.sig https://nixos.org/nix/install.sig
+	gpg2 --recv-keys B541D55301270E0BCF15CA5D8170B4726D7198DE
+	gpg2 --verify ./install-nix-2.1.3.sig
+	sh ./install-nix-2.1.3
+	. /home/user/.nix-profile/etc/profile.d/nix.sh
+	```
+
+3. Clone this project
+
+	```
+	cd
+	git clone https://github.com/jonasnick/nix-bitcoin
+	cd ~/nix-bitcoin
+	```
+
+4. Create network file
+
+	```
+	nano network-nixos.nix
+	```
+
+	```
+	{
+	  bitcoin-node =
+	    { config, pkgs, ... }:
+	    { deployment.targetHost = 1.2.3.4;
+	    };
+	}
+	```
+
+	Replace 1.2.3.4 with NixOS machine's IP address.
+
+5. Edit `configuration.nix`
+
+	```
+	nano configuration.nix
+	```
+
+	Uncomment `./hardware-configuration.nix` line by removing #.
+	
+6. Create `hardware-configuration.nix`
+
+	```
+	nano hardware-configuration.nix
+	```
+	Copy contents of NixOS machine's `hardware-configuration.nix` to file.
+
+7. Add boot option to `hardware-configuration.nix`
+
+	Option 1: Enable systemd boot for UEFI
+	```
+	boot.loader.grub.device = "/dev/sda";
+	```
+	Option 2: Set grub device for Legacy Boot (MBR)
+	```
+	boot.loader.grub.device = "/dev/sda":
+	``` 
+
+8. Setup environment
+	```
+	nix-shell
+	```
+
+9. Create nixops deployment in nix-shell.
+	```
+	nixops create network.nix network-nixos.nix -d bitcoin-node
+	```
+
+10. Adjust configuration by opening configuration.nix and removing FIXMEs.
+
+11. Deploy Nixops in nix-shell
+	
+	```
+	nixops deploy -d bitcoin-node
+	```
+	This will now create a nix-bitcoin node on the target machine.
+
+12. Nixops automatically creates an ssh key for use with `nixops ssh`. Access `bitcoin-node` through ssh in nix-shell with
+
+	```
+	nixops ssh operator@bitcoin-node
+	```
+
