Kind of off topic, but: can you elaborate on how you handle the state file for nixops? I really want to use nixops for some smallish server deployments, but I don't want to have to share the state files with team members (or worse, keep track of it on some central machine that becomes a single point of failure). That is the only reason I am sticking to Ansible for the time being.
To anyone else who uses nixops, why does nixops use this state file? Can't they use labels like Ansible to identify deployed machines? Can't you just require the user to provide their own secrets instead of auto-generating a new keypair for each machine?
