Hello, I'm new to NixOS.
I wanted to install NixOS on a Proxmox VM, but I failed with the manual installation.

Then I found your repo and build the image and I restored it on a Proxmox VM.

Now, I have question: how to make modification inside the VM? I cannot find the configuration.nix file.

Hey @alex27riva, you may check out the directory /etc/nixos/.

If you do not find anything in that directory, you need to generate the configs with the following command:

nixos-generate-config --root /mnt

Next, make some modifications to /etc/nixos/{hardware-configuration.nix,configuration.nix}, then run the following command to rebuild

nixos-install
reboot
