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
