+** Fresh system (vultr)
+1. [Optional] Set the root password via the Vultr Console, so you can ssh to the instance
+
+2. Open a nix-shell with git (if not installed):
+   #+BEGIN_SRC bash
+   nix-shell -p git
+   #+END_SRC
+
+3. Clone the flake
+   #+BEGIN_SRC bash
+   git clone https://git.samfelag.xyz/marc/samfelag.git
+   #+END_SRC
+
+4. Partition the disk
+   We'll partition the disk in the follwing way:
+   * 512MB at the beginning for the boot partition
+   * 8GB at the end for swap
+   * The rest (at the middle) for the filesystem (/)
+
+   * Locate the disk
+     #+BEGIN_SRC bash
+     lsblk
+     #+END_SRC
+   * Create a MBR partition table
+     #+BEGIN_SRC bash
+     sudo parted /dev/vda -- mklabel msdos
+     #+END_SRC
+   * Create the root partition
+     #+BEGIN_SRC bash
+     sudo parted /dev/vda -- mkpart primary 1MiB -8GiB
+     #+END_SRC
+   * Create the swap partition
+     #+BEGIN_SRC bash
+     sudo parted /dev/vda -- mkpart primary linux-swap -8GiB 100%
+     #+END_SRC
+   * Create the boot partition
+     #+BEGIN_SRC bash
+     sudo parted /dev/vda -- mkpart ESP fat32 1MB 512MB
+     sudo parted /dev/vda -- set 3 esp on
+     #+END_SRC
+
+5. Format the partitions
+   1. Root partition
+      #+BEGIN_SRC bash
+      sudo mkfs.ext4 -L nixos /dev/vda1
+      #+END_SRC
+   2. Swap partition
+      #+BEGIN_SRC bash
+      sudo mkswap -L swap /dev/vda2
+      #+END_SRC
+
+6. Mount the filesystems
+   1. Root partition
+      #+BEGIN_SRC bash
+      sudo mount /dev/disk/by-label/nixos /mnt
+      #+END_SRC
+   2. Swap partition (if needed)
+      #+BEGIN_SRC bash
+      sudo swapon /dev/disk/by-label/swap
+      #+END_SRC
+
+7. Create the host nix configuration
+   If the host is not present under system/hosts, create a new folder for the host.
+   Generate the hardware configuration file, you can use nixos-generate-config as a base:
+   #+BEGIN_SRC bash
+   nixos-generate-config --dir <<host directory>> --no-filesystems
+   #+END_SRC
+
+8. Install nixos!
+   #+BEGIN_SRC bash
+   sudo nixos-install --impure --root /mnt --flake '.#vultr-test'
+   #+END_SRC
+
+9. Set up the user
+   You'll set the root password during the installation. You can then reboot and use the installed OS. First thing you'll have to do is log in as root and set the password for your user:
+   #+BEGIN_SRC bash
+   passwd marc
+   #+END_SRC
+
 * Rebuilding
    #+BEGIN_SRC bash
    sudo nixos-rebuild switch --impure --flake '.#reykjavik'
