Going declarative on macOS with Nix and Nix-Darwin
Here’s Mitchell Hashimoto (founder of HashiCorp) setup config.

Does it make sense to deep dive into NixOs without proper knowledge of nix itself?
In my case, I started by installing the NixOS using the Gnome Installer on VmWare fusion, and then modified it using the example config from mitchellh as a guide. Actually entering the configuration yourself definitely helps with learning.

Question about managing development environments in NixOS
I have a NixOS dev environment in a VM which I built based on https://github.com/mitchellh/nixos-config. Similar to that setup, I use Flakes for my main configuration, and use home-manager to install + configure dev tools that I want available across multiple projects
-
Is it possible to use nix like pacstrap?
Yes, maybe not as easily. Check my setup https://github.com/kohlerm/nixos-config which I forked from https://github.com/mitchellh/nixos-config a while ago

new job gave me a brand new mac
Hi, if u can not get a linux pc - then have a look on the following thing (nixos). https://github.com/mitchellh/nixos-config

Anyone using a linux vm on mac for doing development? What are your thought on this?
I'm developing mostly using console applications like vim so I don't need GUI apps for what I'm doing and this made me wonder if it's not better to simply spin a Linux VM inside my macOS to do my development. Something like this: https://github.com/mitchellh/nixos-config (this guy is one of the founders of Hashicorp)

Ask HN: How ready for daily driving is Asahi Linux?
One of the most popular NixOS configs on GitHub does this https://github.com/mitchellh/nixos-config
The README describes the experience, though the author takes the approach of using the VM mainly for terminal-based stuff.
-
Using Nix on macOS
This post focused solely on the Nix package manager and Nix packages - for anyone that uses MacOS but is interesting in trying NixOS (or using it within a VM in MacOS), I definitely recommend Mitchell Hashimoto's NixOS repo: https://github.com/mitchellh/nixos-config
Honestly, doing that may be easier and a better option than using Nix packages in MacOS.

Colima k8s nix setup
You can run a virtual machine (e.g. lima) from inside a nix-shell, exactly as you would do with a regular shell.

Ask HN: Startup Devs -What's your biggest pain while managing cloud deployments?
for others similarly curious, here's an example of the thing: https://github.com/noop-inc/template-java-spring-boot/blob/m...
they seem to be using the excellent lima <https://github.com/lima-vm/lima#readme> for booting on macOS; I run colima for its containerd and k8s support but strongly recommend both projects $(brew install lima colima)
- macOS 14.4 causes JVM crashes
- Lima launches Linux virtual machines for macOS

Simulate an Ubuntu-like VM inside macOS
Lima is what I use as well. It's quick and easy to just fire up a VM with default settings, but also very easy to configure with different file sharing options, port forwarding, different linux distributions, etc. (their examples are also pretty good IMO [1]).
In particular I use it to run an amd64 VM, which I need to run a stubborn service for work that doesn't run on arm CPUs.

Why are Apple Silicon VMs so different?
Lima (1) is a project that packages Linux distros for MacOS and executes them via qemu in the backend. Maybe you could solve your problem by launching one of their vms and inspecting the command line it generates. You might find an option you were missing.

Lima: Linux Virtual Machines on macOS
Github: https://github.com/lima-vm/lima
Lima wraps QEMU in a simple CLI, with neat features for container users, such as filesystem sharing and automatic localhost port forwarding, as well as DNS and proxy propagation for enterprise networks. Rancher Desktop wraps Lima with k3s integration and GUI.
