## VM Configuration
**TODO**
Any NixOS VM can be reconfigured remotely by calling:
```bash
./switch_remote.sh <action> <machine>`
```
- `<action>` can be any of the [standard nixos-rebuild actions](https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/Nixos-rebuild), e.g. `boot`, `switch`, etc.
- `<macine>` should be the FQDN of the machine config to apply.
The script uses this argument to know how to reach the machine in addition to choosing a nixos configuration from this flake as system source (see [systems/](./systems/)).
This also means that you should have a config entry in you SSH config resolving the system name to an IP address (during the event, we will probably have an internal DNS server which also resolves the hostname).
