Uhh, whut? It provides a button-y interface, but you can do everything via config files and `pct` on the command line if you prefer. I know that’s not full nix-style declarative, but you don’t have to mislead to sell me on the advantages of declarative infra.

- cassianoleal 4mo agoWhilst you may be right, it doesn't shift too much. It's still an imperative system, and even though it has an API, it's badly documented, lacking in features and very inconsistent. Look for Terraform providers and you'll pretty much only find things to declare VMs and a few other resources around running them, but not a lot to define infrastructure, networking, firewalls, etc.
