Just the other week I used Nix on my laptop to derive PXE boot images, uploaded those to IPFS, and netbooted my server in another country over a public IPFS mirror. The initrd gets mounted as read-only overlayfs on boot. My configs are public: https://github.com/jhvst/nix-config

I plan to write documentation of the IPFS process including the PXE router config later at https://github.com/majbacka-labs/nixos.fi -- we might also run a small public build server for peoples Flake configs, who are interested in trying out this process.
