Using an intel server running NixOS this code https://github.com/Mic92/nixos-aarch64-images provides the ability to assemble a bootable image suitable for various Pine hardware using pieces are pre-built from other community builds.

The instructions create an image file that can be written to an sdcard, but no instructions on how to customise the image. Having written the sdcard, mounting it directly you can add an ssh key to the nixos user.
