 can use either the command `elements shell <name>` (if elements is already
 available) or run `nix develop .#name` in the flake root directory.
 
+## How to deploy a new host
+
+Boot into a install medium. Since this repository is public, we don't need to mess
+with any SSH keys yet. Clone the repository and enter it.
+```
+  git clone https://github.com/padarom/elements.git
+  cd elements
+```
+
+Then install just, which is the only explicit requirement for this deployment which
+you must install manually. All other dependencies are installed via the dev shell.
+
+After installing just, enter the deployment shell.
+```
+  nix-shell -p just
+  just shell deploy
+```
+
+Now, a basic host configuration (with a disko module) is required. This can either
+be prepared on another host and comitted, or created now, in the install media.
+Depending on how many hosts I will still onboard, I might end up creating helper
+functionality in the dev shell specifically for this use case.
+
+Now, say the host we want to deploy is configured as `hydrogen`. Inspect the
+compiled disko disk configuration for the host:
+```
+  elements disk-test hydrogen
+```
+
+If that configuration seems fine, you can deploy it. This will wipe and reformat
+the configured drives. Disko will ask you whether you want to confirm.
+```
+  elements disk hydrogen
+```
+
+Your disk is now ready and you can install NixOS onto the disk. Run the following:
+```
+  elements install hydrogen
+```
+
+Now NixOS is ready and can be booted. You can decide whether you also want to
+copy the elements config into a user's home directory. Alternatively, the host can
+simply be remote-managed via another host, so this step isn't always necessary.
+```
+  elements config hydrogen {username}
+```
+
+Ideally in the future we'll be able to set an encrypted password file and deploy
+the host with that. Since the host does not yet have a SSH key to decrypt any
+(rekeyed) secrets that might already be present, that is not yet possible. Therefore
+the following is still required:
+```
+  # Exit from all dev shells to get back to your original shell
+
+  sudo nixos-enter
+  passwd {username}
+```
+
 ### Todo
 Since this is pretty much always a work-in-progress I do not expect it to be in the
 most presentable state at all times. Whenever I have time I try to streamline some of
 the config, but especially when trying out new tools the code could be a bit wild.
 
 There's a couple of ideas I have for this:
-- [ ] Build a deployment dev shell
 - [ ] Deploy base tooling to all hosts. This mainly includes `nushell` and `helix` configs. They should still be configurable per-host. Potential issue here could be hosts where I don't use home manager
 - [ ] Make everything more composable. Can make use of the `elements` config some more, like how it's done for `quirks`
