From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I love NixOS. I run it on my home server. However, I can’t daily drive it. I need something a little less rigid to do my day to day work. Although it is greatly satisfying to have everything reproducible, it isn’t always practical to dedicate the time to making it so.
Do you use NixOS as a docker host? I'm hoping to move from an alpine VM to. NixOS VM for my docker host (hosted on proxmox). Would appreciate a config if you don't mind posting yours. Also pitfalls for server use?
Sorry I haven’t really messed with docker on my server. I run multimedia servers and that’s about it.
