- tinco 8y agoI run Docker on my Nixos server. Nixos for easy reproducible operating system configuration, and Docker for application deployment so simple even application developers can do it ;) I feel Docker is a better solution to application deployment than Nix is, but NixOS is the best OS configuration out there hands down.

- thallian 8y agoThat's the same thing I do and it is great. I don't need much on my host server side but having that stuff be easily configurable in one place and be mostly idempotent made my life easier.

- svrtknst 8y ago> Nixos for easy reproducible operating system configuration I'm somewhat out of my depth here, but isn't Vagrant suitable for this purpose?

- sdwisely 8y agoGreat run-through, thank you!
- zymhan 8y agoNo no no. Vagrant is for spinning up dev environment VMs with a virtualization tool like VirtualBox.
- tinco 8y agoYou usually use Vagrant to provision a machine with a suitable image and then use some other tech to setup your environment on that image. Common choices are Chef, Puppet or Salt, last time I checked. You can use NixOS to replace both the OS image and the configuration tech.
