# Building an installer image
Build an installer image for the desired configuration, e.g. for `peertube`:
```bash
nix build .#installers.peertube
```
Upload the image in `./result` to Proxmox when creating a VM.
Booting the image will format the disk and install NixOS with the desired configuration.
# Deploying an updated machine configuration
> TODO: There is currently no way to specify an actual target machine by name.
Assuming you have SSH configuration with access to the remote `root` user stored for a machine called e.g. `peertube`, deploy the configuration by the same name:
```bash
nix run .#deploy.peertube
```
