Building and running not-os image in QEMU?
Hi. I'm new to nix and want to ask if you have an idea how to build an ISO image file of not-os and run it on QEMU virt vanager?

oh oops, I think I was intending to type "crowd source" but I really met "crowd fund".
I do want to finish my FreeBSD cross PR, but is is hard. We already have NetBSD working, including building the kernel, so I think it is better to start there.
I opened https://github.com/cleverca22/not-os/issues/16 because I think that would be the absolute easiest first step, with the fewest moving parts. But I don't know how kernels, even Linux, are packaged into bootable thingies at all.

What does the minimal version of NixOS consist of?

NixOS 21.05 Released
It's like an OS that has builtin salt/ansible/chef/puppet.
Because Nix language describe the OS instead of what to change/configure it's superior to these tools, and solves the problem that supposedly same machines are drifting apart.
For example if in the CM you tell it to install a package, then change your mind and remove the entry that does it. The package will remain installed.
With NixOS if you remove the package from configuration, it's gone.
I personally really like Nix's building capability. For example I can use it to generate a minimal docker container. It requires some knowledge, but I can also modify compilation options in dependencies (like remove unneeded functionality).
It looks like there's also an option to similarly build lightweight OS images[1]. I haven't tried it yet but looks cool.

Is it possible to deploy configuration as code?
You might want to check out https://github.com/telent/nixwrt and https://github.com/cleverca22/not-os as solutions with similar goals. The former is a promising but yet-unfinished way of using Nix to manage a router, while the latter is a similar way of using Nix to generate an immutable OS image.
- Is it possible to replace systemd with runit?

Throwing some Nix in the Mix
Luckily, I did not have to start from scratch as Nix serves their own docker image. I mounted one of my directories and was able to drop into a Nix shell with my configuration file.

NixOS 21.05 Released
There is one: https://github.com/NixOS/docker
But it's more of a Nix docker image than a NixOS one, because half of the things that NixOS gives you don't really make much sense in a docker image (systemd in a container?).

What tools do people use for DevOps pipelines / continuous delivery?
Ability to run buildkite agents inside a kubernetes cluster on preemble instances without need to modify agent’s Dockerfile every time new dependency comes up - was one of major reasons to learn Nix. I’m just using nixos/docker image as a base, install buildkite-agent and some base stuff like bash via nix-env inside Dickerfile, everything else lays in flake.nix of every project my dockerized nixified buildkite agent run.
What are some alternatives?
