Have you convinced anyone to use Nix or NixOS? Friends? Coworkers?

• nix-software-center

• supervisor

  36 8,266 4.8 Python

  Supervisor process control system for Unix (supervisord)

  

I convinced (previous) $dayjob to use it. It (nix) kind of hung around in the background with the team that used haskell for awhile, but became prime time when we needed to support a range of VMs running within client infrastructure that were in reality just running various python scripts under supervisord (http://supervisord.org/). The range of client machines (redhat, centos, debian, ubuntu all of different releases) with differing versions of python and supervisord were driving our support and devops teams crazy (but in a weird way - they thought they were being productive, and really enjoyed tweaking things to work with additional varieties of os...). Additionally, having to work around some minor pain points of supervisord (adding and removing config files and not interrupting running services) lead to the realisation that there was a perfectly good service manager at the bottom of the modern versions of these systems (systemd) and that nixos was just a nix wrapper around this systemd and it would only restart what actually changed...

• templates

  10 380 6.0 Nix

  Flake templates (by NixOS)

  

• system-manager

  7 564 8.8 Rust

  Manage system config using nix on any distro

  

None at all, I recommend Nix package manager and home-manager. As time progresses and system-manager grows in popularity I could start recommending that too.
