Hey all, I’m wondering about giving NixOS a try. It seems like it’s mostly marketed for development environments and CI, but I haven’t seen much of anything about it being used on production servers. Right now I manage Alma 8 servers with Salt, and bootstrap Salt with a modified version of the ISO. NixOS seems like it could help streamline how I do things. Does anyone use it and have thoughts one way or another?
I use it to host one of my self-hosting servers at Hetzner, and I’ve really enjoyed the experience. Especially having the ability to roll back when i mess up is a life saver.
In my experience NixOS is really stable which makes it perfect for running on a server.
