the awful.systems server cluster runs on an open infrastructure based on NixOS and Nix flakes, and though it desperately needs cleanup in some places, it’s still a pretty good example of how to use a Nix flake to deploy NixOS in production. feel free to browse the repo and ask any questions about how it works, or about Nix in general!

also, if I get hit by a bus, this can be used to redeploy awful.systems elsewhere. an existing admin who isn’t in the hospital or the grave can import a database backup and get back up and running!

and as always, contributions are welcome.

    Strangely, it seems like none of the comments from /c/freeasm have federated to lemm.ee. Is this intentional to minimize the risk of drive-by toxicity, or is this some Free Jank, not from concentrate?

    EDIT: I see that my comment has federated inward, so jank it is!

      Explanation for the jank: I tried to read /c/freeasm without subscribing to it, so it didn’t federate. Classic PEBKAC.
