# NixOS-anywhere on Ipv6-only targets
2+
3+
As GitHub engineers still haven't enabled the ipv6 switch, the kexec image
4+
hosted on GitHub, cannot be used unfortunally on ipv6-only hosts. However it is
5+
possible to use an ipv6 proxy for github content like that:
6+
7+
```
8+
nixos-anywhere \
9+
--kexec https://gh-v6.com/nix-community/nixos-images/releases/download/nixos-unstable/nixos-kexec-installer-noninteractive-x86_64-linux.tar.gz \
10+
...
11+
```
12+
13+
This proxy is hosted by (numtide)[https://numtide.com/]. It also works for ipv4.
14+
15+
Alternativly it is also possible to reference a local file:
16+
17+
```
18+
nixos-anywhere \
19+
--kexec ./nixos-kexec-installer-noninteractive-x86_64-linux.tar.gz \
20+
...
21+
```
22+
23+
This tarball will be than uploaded via sftp to the target.
