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?
Thank you! I’m lucky in that nearly all my servers have to run on-prem, so that’s not so much of a concern. I’m sure I could convince the powers that be to allow me to use a different cloud provider for the couple special cases if we couldn’t continue with what we use (Linode/Akamai).
