I’d argue NixOS is a huge step that a lot of people still have to catch on to (to be fair: that includes more contributors to improve documentation and ergonomics, but it is already valuable and workable as it is)

- ghuntley 6y agoWorking on this! Check out the NixOS for existing sysadmins workshop over at https://github.com/ghuntley/workshops/tree/master/nixos-workshop https://github.com/ghuntley/workshops/tree/master/nixos-work... If you want a TL;DR overview of NixOS then start here https://github.com/ghuntley/workshops/tree/master/nixos-workshop/modules/01-introduction-to-nixos https://github.com/ghuntley/workshops/tree/master/nixos-work...
- GordonS 6y agoSomething I wonder about after reading your overview - software from outwith the package manager. It's quite often that the package manager in the Linux distro I'm using has an old version of Nginx, PHP, or whatever, and so I have to build my own, or at least use an alternative package source. How is this kind of thing handled with NixOS config? (if it is)
