Also, fair game to announce it here as well as on my blog, but I am going to be speaking about this Drupal and NixOS integration at DrupalSouth in Wellington, NZ on May 14th!

The talk is titled "Reproducible Drupal Environments The Easy Way: A Hands-On Look At Using Drupal With Nix & NixOS"

https://drupalsouth.org/events/drupalsouth-wellington-2026/schedule/4236

Really looking forward to sharing this tool with people and talking about how to use it. Come say hi in Breakout Room 2 at 9:40 if you want to learn about functional declarative software environments, what they are, why they're useful, and how to use them to build your favorite PHP-powered CMS, share it with anyone, and deploy it on any Linux computer anywhere all without using Docker, virtualization, or clusters.

The minimal impelemntation only requires a single line of code and it a runs on native hardware!

Mark your calendars: https://events.humanitix.com/drupalsouth-2026-wellington-nz

See you there!
