Get hostid
run head -c 8 /etc/machine-id
and copy into networking.hostId to ensure ZFS doesnt get borked on reboot

ZFS on root partition
zpool create -O mountpoint=none rpool /dev/nvme0n1p1
zfs create -p -o mountpoint=legacy rpool/local/root
immediate blank snapshot
zfs snapshot rpool/local/root@blank mount -t zfs rpool/local/root /mnt
Boot partition
mkdir /mnt/boot mount /dev/nvme0n1p3 /mnt/boot
#mk nix zfs create -p -o mountpoint=legacy rpool/local/nix mkdir /mnt/nix mount -t zfs rpool/local/nix /mnt/nix
And a dataset for /home: if needed
zfs create -p -o mountpoint=legacy rpool/safe/home mkdir /mnt/home mount -t zfs rpool/safe/home /mnt/home
zfs create -p -o mountpoint=legacy rpool/safe/persist mkdir /mnt/persist mount -t zfs rpool/safe/persist /mnt/persist
Set networking.hostid`` in the nixos config to
head -c 8 /etc/machine-id`
