the part about having a full disk really hit home haha. I would also like to add this tidbit of knowledge: there are ways for your nix store to get corrupted; if that happens you might end up with an unstable, unrebuildable system. The fix for this is running `nix-store --verify --check-contents --repair` (there is also a nix3 version that I haven't tried: `nix store verify --repair`) and going out for a walk
I've been looking for a TH-cam channel that provides easy-to-digest videos on useful topics for NixOS. Insta-subscribed to you, please keep making useful videos like this. I love it ❤
I actually have a video that covers VPN/ wireguard, its in my networking video here th-cam.com/video/UW1LzSAoRPE/w-d-xo.html there are time codes so you can skip to the relevant parts.
@@WhyDoesNothingWork that is a really good one. if you get bored and low on ideas you can always cover Headscale which is what i am bravely using in production :)
to my knowledge no you cant, what i do is use a systemd timer and service to run a script that happens right before the auto update window similar to this this wiki page has a good example thats easy to modify nixos.wiki/wiki/Systemd/Timers

Thats a good tip, i've actually never had that happen *knocks on wood* but i'll add this to my maintenance routines :)

Excellent. I did not know about the automatic optimize, so that was added to my base config right away. thank you!
this was really informative, thank you for covering garbage collection as well as it's one of the things that can get out of hand
if you've had to fix a nix host with a full drive once you never forget garbage collection again
as always... thank you for this. it really shows an area of nixos that could be simplified a bit, but you gave me the tools to grok it and utilize it
Thank you for this video, do you mind doing a video on VPN and wireguard? Thankyou

I might look at VPN servers in the future, but i have a few videos already planned i've started working on.
Can you configure the auto update so that it automatically commits and pushes the flake.lock?

Can you make a video for setting up a DNS server on nixos for raspberry pi?
@@Redyf I will try but it will be a little while I have a few things started already and summer is a busy time for me with other stuff
Don't worry, your content is awesome. I can wait 🐧🤝@@WhyDoesNothingWork
