Any one tried NixOS?
I've been playing with NixOS recently, and found it quite appealing in several ways:
- Immutable as Docker image.
- Deterministic build, --- this is not assured in Docker.
- Running the process in the security group as docker, but no dockerd(running in root) needed.
- Easy rollback
The drawbacks are also quite obvious:
- Steep learning curve: need to learn the Nix DSL
- Not playing well with existing tools, such as pip, npm.
- The NixOps must be installed on the Nix, you cannot deploy from Windows, or Mac.
Just curious about other folks' thoughts.
