Yeah, especially after discovering microvm.nix [1] I’m tempted to switch from Proxmox to NixOS.
Edit: The VMs/LXCs are declared with Nix anyway.
All my other VMs are NixOS…this is VERY appealing
Thank you for posting this. I was looking for a way to be able to deploy just an app on a VM.
What have you done to me, I’m in this position myself too because of the picture.
I’m late to the Nix party. I do the bare minimum just for my at home media server. I guess it’s a good time to get caught up on my Linux knowledge again.
Do it. Don’t just configure your server, configure all your servers… Forever. How hard can it be?
I recently moved from Arch to NixOS. It’s more fun than I thought it would be.
I am in the same position too. I mean, the appeal is having a config to redo everything if something goes wrong. Unlikely a debian/arch machines that I setup that I had no idea how I got there and what I can or can’t install/uninstall, lmao.
This idea has crossed my mind many times. Thankfully, I’m too lazy to do anything about it.
Nix is really cool to me but I can’t get all benefits of using it so I’m sticking to Arch based distros.
