So I am not the only one to sell #vps over #ssh! 😯
https://vipee.sh nailed it!

We don't need subscriptions, we have keys! 👊

At home, on most common network which are statefull #dhcp,

You usually get an #ipv4 based on your hardware MAC address, this ensures constancy across device reboot, dual boot (and distro hoping 🙈)

But #ipv6 do not care about the hardware, it will look for a DUID (small string) at /etc/dhcp/duid.

You can persist this file into your dots for your ipv6 address to survive across OS changes.

Because every other continuous deployment tools turn my PC into a fry pan.

Reminder that to push to prod without relying on remote workloads like #github actions
there is a fast and minimalist cli to run #Toml/#Yaml pipelines locally.

In #ipv6 you can communicate between devices on the same link without prior configuration.

No need to manually give them both an ip belonging to the same subnet.

Just ping the device address beginning by fe80::
that you can find with "ip a".

I've reached the point where I no longer use #ipv4 as the default network protocol in #homelab.

I immediately think in #ipv6 instead!
And I must admit I prefer the latest! 😀

I often need to spin disposable machines with network connectivity for testing, deployment or some work that require isolation, and then keep it running or trash it out!

I thought if I could just put the essential of my config into one of this nice disk images created by nixos-generators / disko and the likes.
I could then spawn a ton of #vm by pressing enter, arrow up, enter,.. 😄

It took some time, but I finally came up with a cli that does the job!

Whenever I can, I always add the option

--log-format multiline-with-logs

to my #nix commands just to get that maximum verbosity and scroll through history in case of failure.

Ps: #lix recently added an option to nix.conf to make it a default behavior. 😀

Biggest time saving feature when ordering a virtual machine:

-> Your #VM is automatically provisioned with your account username and associated #ssh key!

No need for manual configuration.
No awkward web console.

You order,
wait 10 seconds,
And ssh in already! 💁
