What do you use for monitoring?
I used this as reference: https://github.com/Mic92/dotfiles/blob/master/nixos/eva/modules/prometheus/default.nix and this guide: https://christine.website/blog/prometheus-grafana-loki-nixos-2020-11-20 (but with telegraf instead of node-exporter)

Couple of noob questions
So first, I'm a bit confused about AUR. I'm not aware of what you're describing. I heard about AUR-like repo for Nix (called NUR https://github.com/nix-community/NUR).

How to install NordVPN onto NixOS
Hi, I'm the author of the PR :) I uploaded it to NUR precisely so that it would be available sooner. However, as I wrote in the thread yesterday, as of this PR one of the components the package was relying on was deprecated. I'm still trying to make it work again using the new buildFHSEnv. However, if you're running 22.11 or haven't updated your local version of nixpkgs beyond that PR, it should still work.

Best practices for organizing code repository for multiple machines? What about deployment?
As for the community repo, there's nur but only 120 people use it.. I think the reason nixpkgs is so big is that the community is pretty accepting of accepting loads of different packages.

Can one self host a nix package repo?
Some common options for the first: - your own git repo - your own flake (a specially constructed and easy to consume git repo) - something like NUR
What are some alternatives?
When comparing dotfiles and NUR you can also consider the following projects:
emacs-overlay - Bleeding edge emacs overlay [maintainer=@adisbladis]
Home Manager using Nix - Manage a user environment using Nix [maintainer=@rycee]
nixos-search - Search NixOS packages and options
nixos - My NixOS Configurations

flake-utils-plus - Use Nix flakes without any fluff.
nixos-generators - Collection of image builders [maintainer=@Lassulus]
