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
