I really love the idea of Nix. But not a fan of the scripting language.

I do need to test it more.

I do find it hard to update though. I’m not sure if they have released a GUI based interface to make it easier.

NixOS for self hosted is awesome! A few lines of code and you have set up a service on bare metal, without needing to think about dependencies. Just look at this beauty, OP:

  services.immich = {
    enable = true;
    host = "0.0.0.0";
    port = 2283;
    openFirewall = true;
  };
