Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

It's interesting how none of that is true.
Nixpkgs work on practically any Linux kernel.
Whether NixOS modules are easier to set up and maintain than unsustainably copying docker-compose files is subjective.
Neither Nixpkgs nor NixOS use container technology for their core functionality.
NixOS has the
nixos-containerframework to optionally run NixOS inside of containerised environments (systemd-nspawn) but that's rather niche actually. Nixpkgs does make use of bubblewrap for a small set of stubborn packages but it's also not at all core to how it works.Totally beside the point though; even if you don't think NixOS is simpler, that still doesn't mean containers are the only possible mean by which you could possibly achieve "easy" deployments.
Ah, so you have indeed not even done the bare minimum of research into what Nix/NixOS are before you dismissed it. Nice going there.
Docker compose is about the opposite of a robust configuration system.
