Edit: wow, this is a never ending comment section!
NixOS, I find the config very easy and quick
I’ve just dipped my toes into it, but I imagine migrating to another machine to be just gorgeous…
NixOS
Currently I am using Arch Linux. I am in the process of switching to NixOS.
Arch because why not.
My DIY NAS runs Arch
- LTS kernel
- BTRFS snapshots on root fs
- 4 drive NVMe array using ZFS raidz1
- podman for my docker containers
It’s been working fantastically so far.
NixOS
Same here. I came for the integrated ZFS support and stayed for the declarative config.
I just heard of NixOS for the first time because of this thread. Looked up some videos on it, and my jaw hit the fucking floor.
I really liked https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGVXJ-TIv3Y - step by step, with examples and great explanations. Warning: it’s long, but I watched it in one session.
how is nix better than debian for servers?
