docs: various improvements to installation tutorial
- Update nixos iso
- Make sure to be root before parting and give instructions for checking
  UEFI vs. legacy
- Instead of making user replace automatically generated nixos config,
  explain how to add options.
- Add boot.loader options directly to hardware-configuration.nix
- Copy .gitignore when setting up a deployment dir
- Stress that the first config that is deployed remotely must include ssh key.
- Debian: 9 Strech -> Debian 10 Buster
- nix: 2.3.3 -> 2.3.10

Examples

The easiest way to try out nix-bitcoin is to use one of the provided examples.

git clone https://github.com/fort-nix/nix-bitcoin
cd nix-bitcoin/examples/
nix-shell

The following example scripts set up a nix-bitcoin node according to configuration.nix and then shut down immediately. They leave no traces (outside of /nix/store) on the host system.
By default, configuration.nix enables bitcoind and clightning.

Run the examples with option --interactive or -i to start a shell for interacting with the node:

./deploy-qemu-vm.sh -i

Tests

The internal test suite is also useful for exploring features.
The following run-tests.sh commands leave no traces (outside of /nix/store) on the host system.

git clone https://github.com/fort-nix/nix-bitcoin
cd nix-bitcoin/test

# Run a Python test shell inside a VM node
./run-tests.sh debug
print(succeed("systemctl status bitcoind"))

# Run a node in a container. Requires systemd and root privileges.
./run-tests.sh container
c systemctl status bitcoind

# Explore a single feature
./run-tests.sh --scenario electrs container

# Run a command in a container
./run-tests.sh --scenario '{
  services.clightning.enable = true;
  nix-bitcoin.nodeinfo.enable = true;
}' container --run c nodeinfo

See run-tests.sh for a complete documentation.
