Release checksums are published alongside the archive.

Reference system

NAILS-OS

v0.1.3 Prerelease Published Mar 15, 2026

This is the latest versioned prerelease. Verify checksums before writing the ISO and review the release page if you need a stable tag instead.

Download checksums.txt from the same release and verify before writing media.

How the data works

Build time release data without pretending every tag is stable.

The build script tries the GitHub API at build time. When a token is available, it uses it. When release access works, the site prefers the latest stable versioned release and falls back to the latest versioned prerelease. When it does not, the site uses a checked in snapshot that can be reviewed in the repository.

Reference system

NAILS-OS is the reference system to run NAILS on.

NAILS can be integrated into your own NixOS environment. NAILS-OS exists as the project reference system when you want the surrounding operating environment to follow the same direction from the start.
