NixOS: Declarative Builds and Deployments
I have step-by-step video guides (with accompanying git repos) for booting NixOS from zero on both Hetzner VPS instances[1] and bare metal Robot instances[2] with nixos-anywhere[3]. I used to use nixos-infect but now I'm 100% sold on nixos-anywhere.

An Overview of Nix in Practice
I think things are pretty good with nixos-anywhere[1] now. I made a video last month walking through the process of provisioning a VPS on Hetzner Cloud[2] if you want to see what the process looks like in real-time.

NixOS RFC 136 accepted: A plan to stabilize the new CLI and Flakes incrementally
> I can speak new instances of my environment into existence
You're not kidding. I used nixos-anywhere [1] for the first time the other day. You can point it to any linux host and it will partition, format, and supplant the target's existing OS with your nixOS config, all with a single command. Incredible.

Is it possible to morph Debian into NixOS?
There's a few scripts to replace the current os with NixOS: eg https://github.com/numtide/nixos-anywhere

An Overview of Nix in Practice
You can run containers on NixOS (also through systemd) and get the same benefits explained in this article. NixOS supports both Podman and Docker as a runtime. There is also the option to run NixOS containers. See: https://nixos.wiki/wiki/NixOS_Containers.
The Docker Compose story is a bit rough around the edges, though. I’m actually working on a tool to automatically convert a Compose file into a NixOS config you can import as-is. Still kinda early, but the skeleton works: https://github.com/aksiksi/compose2nix
