npub17883e4e53zt45f8sc52fprjwqaheppyr7yln4p30drp9xd36ge3snw9nku (npub1788…9nku) I have heard really good things about Nix, but never tried it. I am working with a hypervisor that would need some coaxing to support Nix since we would need guest tools from the hypervisor to pass along to the guest. Everything I've got deployed right now is Ubuntu server LTS since it works "out of the box" with our hypervisor + there's usually tons of support and documentation for Debian-based distributions, Ubuntu specifically (often guides, as well [I'm still learning, so this instance and other things associated with outrnat.nl are part of my self-taught, learn-by-doing process]).

Being able to build everything from a configuration file insofar as making things easily repeatable and specify dependencies would be huge, though. ---As well as being able to roll back to previous states. Kind of all the benefits of containerization without having to deal with containerization. At least with my virtualized environment I can do full VM backups and snapshots.
