Of course we ignore the taking shots at a project just for its existence thing aside

I actually really like nixery.dev idea. Sounds kinda neat.

If I am being really honest, there are a lot of ways to go around tbh, there are ways to run nix inside of docker and docker inside of nix too.

There are ways to convert docker images into os too and there are tools like coreos.

There is nix-shell and someone on hackernews told me about comma and I am still figuring out comma (haha! Thanks to them!)

And if one just wants isolation, they can use bubblewrap or (pledge by jart) and I guess there is complete beauty and art in such container-esque space and I truly love this space a lot.

I am actually wondering right now that using traefik (as load balancer) + nats (for a modular monolith) + podman/coreos + (cloudflare tunnels?) + any vps and you can use nix to build those containers too or you can go the other way around by having a nixos on vps with traefik + nats can be a really good alternative to kubernetes.

I mean, There is docker swarm too if you don't want any of such complexity but people say that its less worked upon but still I guess there is a sort of fun in reinventing the wheel of kubernetes, but I guess I don't have tooo much problems with kubernetes I suppose because of the existence of helm charts (I haven't used kubernetes) but helm charts are written in go templates and I think they are a bit clunky but still I love golang and I feel like I would be okay with writing helm charts but I guess I am one of the people who just believes to scale horizontally first than vertically untill the economic scale gets broken and its more cheaper to use kubernetes / learn it than not.
