The easiest way is to use the provided network.nix and configuration.nix with [nixops](https://nixos.org/nixops/manual/). The easiest way is to run `nix-shell env.nix` and then create a [nixops](https://nixos.org/nixops/manual/) deployment with the provided network.nix.
Once you've set up nixops first run `./generate_secrets.sh` then continue with the deployment using nixops. Fix the FIXMEs in configuration.nix and deploy with nixops in nix-shell.
At the moment this relies on using the unstable nixpkgs channel.

Currently there is an upstream bug in the nixops package which results in an error during `nixops create`. That is why we have to build nixops from source until a binary with the bug-fix is released.
Build Nixops from source
```
git clone https://github.com/NixOS/nixops
cd ~/nixops
nix-build release.nix -A build.x86_64-linux
cd
```
This should output a last line like `/nix/store/wa6nk3aqxjb2mgl9pkwrnawqnh9z1b9d-nixops-1.6.1pre0_abcdef/`. This is the directory Nixops is installed in. Note it for later.

Replace `nixops` with the path to the nixops you built from source. For example: `/nix/store/wa6nk3aqxjb2mgl9pkwrnawqnh9z1b9d-nixops-1.6.1pre0_abcdef/bin/nixops`. Alternatively you can change your path, i.e. `export PATH=/nix/store/wa6nk3aqxjb2mgl9pkwrnawqnh9z1b9d-nixops-1.6.1pre0_abcdef/bin/:$PATH` so you can just type nixops.
