The NixOS appliance series continues: After we successfully minimized our image in part 2, it's time for the next step: Enable automatic Over-The-Air (OTA) updates!

Part 3 is now live! This article shows you how to build a truly robust, self-updating system using NixOS. We dive deep into:

🔹 Creating immutable A/B system partitions with systemd-repart.
🔹 Preparing the update packages.
🔹 Implementing seamless Over-the-Air (OTA) updates with systemd-sysupdate.

This is a must-read if you're building dependable, minimal, and auto-updating appliances.
