I’m currently working on a small setup for myself to have my complete home server in a Nix-config. That means, services, backup, etc. And if I can, having everything nice and separated into different files.
Currently, it’s just the few services I need, and a bunch of hard coded constants/passwords, but I wondered if there’s any interest from you guys to use and maybe even collaborate on this kind of project?
Maybe it even already exists.
I am very much interested
I did something like this a while back when I attempted to create an official Cardano dev/Stake Pool operator machine. I ended up realizing that a config is too personal to try an standardize but my shared configs DID help other Cardano devs and Stake pool operators get a working, canonical config that could be cloned into a myraid of different types of machines and configs.
I would see this rather as a starting point, or maybe a collection of pluggable flakes, I’m not sure yet.
That would be awesome!
Sounds good, I would be interested as I’m currently playing around with Nix myself
Sounds interesting. I started an Ubuntu server about a year ago, didn’t get very far. Really only using FreshRSS right now. Would really like to move it to my NixOS flake and learn/add services as I go along.

Just put it on Codeberg or Github. Having other people’s config for reference is always nice. Especially for beginners.

That was my plan, but removing all the stuff specific to my setup takes a bit of time, so I wanted to test the waters first.

Fair enough. I personally think someday someone will have the same niche issue I’ve already tackled and be happy to stumble over my code while googling it. So I just drop most things I do somewhere for other people to find.
But concerning NixOS, I also still need to switch over a few things to agenix befor publishing my config.
