Cool to see this in-person presentation! I've been using disko since I needed to provision NixOS on several VPS, which was indeed quite nice. For the last one I also tried nixos-anywhere (while booted from a CD image through the web-console of the VPS provider). I was a bit surprised about the distrust toward BTRFS, I must have missed something when I installed it on a home server spanning multiple different disks? So is it really that dangerous or is there some irony involved here? Are there any references that I really shouldn't use it? Or if I were to consider ZFS: would it (still) be a good match if my hardware is (relatively) limited (microserver Gen8 16GB Xeon-1265L, but need most RAM to run k3s with about 10 workloads), and if I (probably) wouldn't use snapshots (because of limited space and selective off-site backups)?
Just started with NixOS and set up a bunch of machines with disko and nix-anywhere. Great stuff🚀
I will definitely need to return to this and attempt it. I have a dozen PCs that I'd like to streamline NixOS installation for.
Wicked stuff, would love to see disko in nixpkgs :) Maybe even an option in the generated `hardware-configuration.nix` or something?
Same this would be amazing!
awesome work guys!
Great video
