Nix: Taming Unix with Functional Programming
Deploy-rs is a great alternative. It works as wrapper on top of flakes, local (optionally, cross-) building and copying closures to target machine with activation:

How do you manage your updates?
The SSH key I made for this uses yubikey authentication, and every time this opens a SSH connection it will ask for the key. There's some options you can add so multiple SSH sessions can use a single connection, but the current version isn't really working well with them (see e.g. https://github.com/serokell/deploy-rs/issues/106)

What's a good service for hosting a personal NixOS server?
I haven't really been in the market for something like this in a long while, but NixOS solved a lot of my headaches when it comes to maintaining a VPS and I'd like to try giving this a shot again. I'm not really interested in cloud/microservice/docker/cluser/whatever, I just want to use something like deploy-rs with a single host and maybe a VPN service like tailscale. What sorts of providers would y'all recommend?

Best practices for organizing code repository for multiple machines? What about deployment?
I've messed around with deploy.rs. Simple enough to know what's going on.

The best solution for deploying flakes
There are 4 tools I'm taking into consideration right now, but every suggestion is welcome: 1. deploy-rs - I don't know anything about it, heard about it like a day or two ago 2. NixOps - the official one, I don't know what to think, but I have concerns about Flakes compatibility 3. morph - I understand this as "NixOps, but better", no more toughs. 4. colmena - seems to be pretty straightforward with quite nice docs

GitOps for NixOS
deploy-rs is great for this as well

Fish and nix develop question
I have a wrapper function that just maps to dev to make life easier: https://github.com/dmadisetti/.dots/blob/template/dot/config/fish/functions/develop.fish

Possible to make a machine independent NixOS configuration/flake?
Never fully got it to work, so I just encrypt my secrets when I build my isos: https://github.com/dmadisetti/.dots/actions/runs/5055636638/jobs/9072093945

Hardware configuration in nix flake dotfiles?
I have multiple files for each machine based on hostname. I have CI strip my config of all system specific information for general distribution. For reference: https://github.com/dmadisetti/.dots

how to store secrets needed at install time
What I do: Keep secrets in a separate git repo as a flake, and have a stub flake, that can be overridden: https://github.com/dmadisetti/.dots/tree/template/nix/spoof

(maybe) ex arch user need some help to understand
I have a script that will symlink my dotfiles in (github:dmadisetti/.dots/setup.sh), because you also end up with weird RO permissions if you do it through Nix. I think this is fine. It also means that you aren't stuck with Nix

Have a shell command in configuration.nix that runs on nixos-rebuild
The way I manage multiple systems is with a wrapper: https://github.com/dmadisetti/.dots/blob/template/dot/config/fish/functions/snix.fish

Arch user, convince me to hop to Nix
The only thing that is semi manual is setting up disks on first install (something you'd still have to do with arch). You can still script that: https://github.com/dmadisetti/.dots/blob/template/scripts/run-install.nix.sh
What are some alternatives?
