## Requirements
13
13
14
- - x86_64 Linux system with kexec support (most x86_64 machine do have kexec support)
14
+ ` nixos-remote ` can detect nixos installer if those contain the identifier
15
+ ` VARIANT=installer ` in their ` /etc/os-release ` file. This is the case for the
16
+ nixos-unstable installer and will be also part of nixos 23.05. If installer is
17
+ detected ` nixos-remote ` will not try to kexec into its own image.
18
+
19
+ If your system is not booted into a nixos installer than the following
20
+ requirements apply for kexec to succeed:
21
+
22
+ - x86_64 Linux system with kexec support (most x86_64 machine do have kexec
23
+ support) or you have to provide your own [ image] ( https://github.com/numtide/nixos-anywhere#using-your-own-kexec-image )
15
24
- At least 2.5GB RAM (swap does not count). If you do not have enough RAM you
16
25
will see failures unpacking the initrd), this is because kexec needs to load
17
26
the whole nixos into memory.
You can’t perform that action at this time.
