Hi everyone!

I saw that NixOS is getting popularity recently. I really have no idea why and how this OS works. Can you guys help me understanding all of this ?

Thanks !

    It occurred to me that NixOS might have a hard time doing something like this:

    • create a 6 node Docker Swarm cluster, where 3 of the nodes are managers

    I can see NixOS doing a fine job of templating a standard build that includes the Docker engine. But working out which one gets to init the swarm, which ones get to join as managers, which ones get to join as workers? Yeah, that’s probably better off left to something like Ansible.
