the awful.systems server cluster runs on an open infrastructure based on NixOS and Nix flakes, and though it desperately needs cleanup in some places, it’s still a pretty good example of how to use a Nix flake to deploy NixOS in production. feel free to browse the repo and ask any questions about how it works, or about Nix in general!
also, if I get hit by a bus, this can be used to redeploy awful.systems elsewhere. an existing admin who isn’t in the hospital or the grave can import a database backup and get back up and running!
and as always, contributions are welcome.
I hope you know that your hard work is appreciated. A project with this kind of scope is a lot to take on, but it’s a candle in the (very dumb) dark.
I appreciate the support! awful.systems is an amazing community, and I’m excited to see how it’ll grow from here.
