I’ve been reading a lot about NixOS lately and wanted to learn more so I’ve took the plunge and now using it as my daily driver. Hopefully I’ll learn more and get a better understanding of it by actually using it. Not sure if I’ll keep it permanently or go back to Fedora Silverblue, but nothing ventured nothing gained.
NixOS, a Linux distribution based on the purely functional package management system Nix, that is composed using modules and packages defined in the Nixpkgs project.
Given that cron is not installed by default on a Fedora Silverblue host, it can either be added as a layered package or you can use systemd which is available by default.
Setting up a local dev environment with Traefik as the proxy has some benefits:
Given the benefits, I found it worth while investing the time and effort in learning enough about Traefik to apply those benefits to new projects as it simplifies config for each new project.
An excellent tool for deploying and rolling back project deployments.
Podman is installed out of the box on Fedora Silverblue. When I need to start new projects, podman coupled with ansible are the tools I use to configure them. Podman is a drop in replacement for Docker but I encountered a couple of issues. Read on to find out more.
