What about just using it as a package manager inside Debian until you can get a hosting provider to support NixOS?

- ris 8y agoThis is the way I actually started using Nix in deployment. You can run a full Nix installation from within a home directory without any special permissions. Frustrated with the inflexibility of a shared hosting provider running CentOS, we decided to usurp most all of the provided OS & libraries and ran everything thru Nix, giving us fully reproducible control over our dependencies.
