Does anyone know if #proxmox runs well on #nixos ? Been thinking about swapping the raw #docker setup I have on my #homelab for something more structured. (Open to other options as well though lol)

@fireye

#Proxmox runs on Debian, not on Nixos. Nixos has a completely different file structure (no /etc, no /usr/bin). That would be a very experimental and uphill fight.

Of course you can run Nixos inside Proxmox VMs.

@robertdahlem interesting! I found this wiki article https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Proxmox_Virtual_Environment referring to https://www.proxmox.com/en/products/proxmox-virtual-environment/overview, would that be a seperate thing from proxmox proper then?

@fireye @robertdahlem There is this: https://github.com/SaumonNet/proxmox-nixos
I never tried it or had a closer look. I wouldn'd recommend that.
