    reproducing those installs from scratch + restoring backups would be a single command plus waiting 5 minutes.

    Is that with Ansible or your own tooling or something else?

      NixOS :)

      Maybe I should have clarified that liking bare-metal does not imply disliking abstraction

        I’ve been wanting to tinker with NixOS. I’ve stuck in the stone ages automating VM deployments on my Proxmox cluster using ansible. One line and about 30 minutes (cuda install is a beast) to build a reproducible VM running llama.cpp with llama-swap.

          Nice. My partner has a Proxmox setup, so we’ve adapted the Nix config to spin up new VMs of any machine with a single command.
