How can I calculate the "age of money" with (h)ledger?
If you're familiar with Python, I have a script which does that (along with a few other metrics): https://github.com/barrucadu/nixfiles/blob/1c99414156a7081ade210a9f43a3941b44a4ef0b/hosts/nyarlathotep/jobs/hledger-export-to-promscale.py

Issues getting docker containers with databases set up
I run a lot of services through docker containers, here's how I structure things: https://github.com/barrucadu/nixfiles/blob/master/services/concourse.nix

Who's here runs NixOS with opt in state?
I do. I have a fairly small chunk of configuration to stick all persistent state I care about in a different ZFS dataset (mounted to /persist) and do the rollback.

Do you all just git init inside your /etc/nixos directory?
It's what I do.

Erase your darlings: immutable infrastructure for mutable systems (erasing root on every boot)
You can see the relevant bit of my config on github.

How do you manage your private keys?
My solution - which is not great, mind you - is to have my NixOS config defined across two git repos: one is public, the other is private and has all the secrets.

Is there any equivalent to a curated Fedora/Ubuntu? A NixOS-based distro or metarepo of configs perhaps?

I'm Here Because of a Meme - Looking for Pointers
I am not in a state to write a detailed recommendation list for all the things you've mentioned, but: - There is indeed an official Matrix room: #nix:nixos.org . I believe this is the most popular Nix community out there. - As for multiple hosts, there are different approaches out there. Typically you will write NixOS "modules" (which are like pieces of configuration) and then merge (combine) them together, along with some machine-specific overrides, to get configurations for all your machines. I do something similar for my config. Here are the modules: https://github.com/balsoft/nixos-config/tree/master/profiles which configure different pieces of my system, then those modules are combined into "roles" (e.g. here's a desktop role: https://github.com/balsoft/nixos-config/blob/master/roles/desktop.nix) and then those roles are imported from actual machine configs with some overrides (e.g. here's the config for the box I'm writing this from: https://github.com/balsoft/nixos-config/blob/master/machines/AMD-Workstation/default.nix)

Can configuration.nix manage GTK themes?
Hey, inkscape build seems to be broken, but I have made a new working derivation that uses resvg instead: https://github.com/balsoft/nixos-config/blob/master/modules/workspace/gtk.nix#L32

How do you manage your private keys?
I use a custom pass-based hack: https://github.com/balsoft/nixos-config/blob/master/modules/secrets.nix and https://github.com/balsoft/nixos-config/blob/master/modules/secrets-envsubst.nix. My actual GPG key is on my yubi.

Is there a way to use niv with NixOS configuration ?
Ok, just checked with that nix version and my nixos-config, and I can build my configuration without .git in it.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing nixfiles and nixos-config you can also consider the following projects:
sops-nix - Atomic secret provisioning for NixOS based on sops
digga - A flake utility library to craft shell-, home-, and hosts- environments.
NixOS-Guide - NixOS Guide. Learn all about the immutable Nix Operating System and the declarative Nix Expression Language.
agenix - age-encrypted secrets for NixOS and Home manager
.dots - just my .dotfiles
inkscape
nix-profiles - Configuration profiles for x-truder networks
impermanence - Modules to help you handle persistent state on systems with ephemeral root storage [maintainer=@talyz]
nixos-config - KISS NixOS configuration based on Flakes & flake-parts (supports macOS too)
