We’re using NixOS on Leaseweb’s dedicated server (HP DL180) without any problems. Though installing NixOS using ILO was pretty boring. > 2) Do you follow stable or unstable channel ? Why ? (security, stability…) I am using master nixpkgs branch on my desktop since I regularly modify it and I want to follow upstream changes. I prefere stable branch on production systems mainly for low maintenance cost. > 3) Are there here some NixOps users ? How many servers are you deploying > to ? I am currently using libvirtd backend for bringing up a test network as quickly as possible to run tests.
