      Interesting. I’ve using NixOS many years on servers but recently also started using it as a base for docker hosts. Before that I used Ubuntu or Debian for docker hosts, but I figured out I still like the declarative approach even for simple servers like docker hosts. There’s your basic security config, ssh keys and monitoring setup that I used to do imperatively, but I much rather have declaratively now, no matter how small. And enabling docker on NixOS is just a virtualisation.docker.enable = true; anyway.

        Oh I know it’s better, problem is I host some stuff my friend group relies on so I don’t want downtime while I figure things out. Also, it’s a bit of a pain in the ass to get NixOS set up on a VPS without native support (I’m on Hetzner and I know it’s possible, it’s just a bit of a hassle). It’s one of those projects that I’ll get to eventually, when I got time. Or so I tell myself
