First post, here's my home lab and how I use it every day (running Proxmox and NixOS)

• nvd

  4 - -

And this repo:https://gitlab.com/khumba/nvd

• nixos-config

  35 976 9.9 Nix

  Nix configuration for macOS / NixOS with starter templates, step-by-step guides, and more ✨ (by dustinlyons)

In re: to validating nixpkgs and other repos are who they say they are; it's a valid point. For many packages I use cachix (binary cache) and *those* binaries are signed, at least.

• WorkOS

  workos.com sponsored

  The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  

• impermanence

  34 893 5.9 Nix

  Modules to help you handle persistent state on systems with ephemeral root storage [maintainer=@talyz]

  

I'm also fascinated by the idea of completely decoupling the state from the configuration using https://github.com/nix-community/impermanence. If you can get your system working without leftover state sticking around, and continuously back up the state you do have, you're almost guaranteed to have a fully working environment at all times.
