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?

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
