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?
This idea has crossed my mind many times. Thankfully, I’m too lazy to do anything about it.
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.
I recently moved from Arch to NixOS. It’s more fun than I thought it would be.
