Nice video as usual! I wanted to get on the Nix train for a while now, and I think I'll just give it a shot. I'd probably not run the services baremetal though. You touched on this in the video, but for me docker gives me the piece of mind for isolation. I don't want one container getting pwned to have access to my entire filesystem, and while you can get around this with filesystem permissions, I also use docker for isolating the exposed service ports. All services run in their own isolated networks, and only caddy can talk to them through microproxies inside each network. Nix for me would be perfect for configuring caddy itself, the config files and also the supporting services such as NFS mounts, tailscale, etc. That being said, TIL about the huge library of NixOS packages for self hosted services! On a different note, I might be biased, but your homelab is missing a bookmark manager ;)

Please upload the videos to Patreon directly! Youtube blocks me from viewing it without logging in, which is a big reason to use Patreon. Thanks as always for the cool videos! I switched to NixOS recently so absolutely interested!
