Finally there 100% using #nixos for all my private devices ( except #grapheneos on my phone ); have a #docker image for my system and even an .iso generator for future systems. Never felt my system to be more stable!
Next up is to migrate all my servers also to #nixos
Would also love to extend this with a #wireguard managed nix config based mesh network set-up.
Also #gaming on nix via #steam with no issues.
Have a #gnome setup for touch screens and #i3 for my keyboard driven daily drivers.

nice!
re: wireguard, have you used tailscale? tailscale just wraps wireguard with some extra features like good native apps, holepunching, and relaying if you can't access a node directly.
you can also selfhost their control plane, though it's all encrypted anyways

only issue is it's not very declarative, you'd need to log in manually on each machine after first install unless you pre-generate the keys. id imagine plain wireguard would be similar tho

what would you want wireguard for?

@jabster28 yeah but headscale is quite limited (os tailscale server ). And I dont like the thought of a central control node.
This setup would be static / my nix config can know all nodes at all times so perfekt for wireguard in my op.

Actually in my #openchat project i've integrated #libp2p and it can do something similar to tail schale without central control ( bit that ainr far enough / stable enough yet ). Also cool thing to check in that space is edgevpn also libp2p based vpn.

@timschupp ohh verstehe, no centralisation and having all the nodes hardcoded sounds good especially with nix. i might try that sometime, actually. well when i have more time on my hands
what's libp2p

@jabster28 https://libp2p.io/ calls itself a modular p2p networking stack. Implement many networking protocols and data structures and logic on top. Addressing some routing and discovery things too. Have been playing with it for a while now; very cool what it can do. Implemented in several languages too ( though several implementations unfinished ).

libp2p - A modular network stack

Run your network applications free from runtime and address services, independently of their location.
