NixOS-generators – Collection of VM and Container disk image builders for NixOS
I’ve found it most helpful to review other people’s configurations to learn Nix.
Some specific ones I really like:
https://github.com/malob/nixpkgs
https://github.com/fufexan/dotfiles
I keep a not comprehensive GitHub Stars list of Nix stuff I find here if you want more:
https://github.com/stars/heywoodlh/lists/nix
If you aren’t familiar, Nix-Darwin allows you to codify your MacOS deployments in a fashion comparable to NixOS. As a huge Nix-Darwin user myself, I have found malob’s repo extremely helpful for ideas with MacOS configuration. Nix-Darwin has made me so happy as a MacOS user. :)
Some other unsolicited tips:
1. Start with Nix flakes for configuration
2. Invest in Home-Manager before NixOS or Nix-Darwin
3. Ask people for help in Matrix or Discourse — my experience is that Nix-related folk are very welcoming and understanding
Good luck!

How do you set git in order to clone from private repo?
I don't think system.autoUpgrade will work at all with flakes since you'd need to update your flake lock file for anything to get updated. I've seen a way to do that automatically with github actions here.

Is it worth learning and migrating to Flakes as of November 2021?
I didn't really have any noteworthy derivations before flakes so there was nothing for me to port and all the flakes I now have (e.g., https://github.com/cideM/solana-nix or https://github.com/cideM/visual-studio-code-insiders-nix/) don't do anything that's particularly fancy.
What are some alternatives?
