AWS Collection of NixOS AMIs

This terraform module provides links to official NixOS AMIs on AWS. The AMIs are released by the NixOS project.

Since image names are unique, only one instance per version of the module is supported.

Example

provider "aws" {
  region = "eu-west-1"
}

module "nixos_image_1903" {
  source  = "path/to/aws_image_nixos"
  release = "19.03"
}

resource "aws_instance" "example" {
  ami           = module.nixos_image_1903.ami
  instance_type = "t2.micro"

  ...
}
