NixOS is a Linux distribution built on top of the Nix package manager. Its declarative configuration allows reliable system upgrades via several official channels of stability and size.
This community discusses NixOS, Nix, and everything related.
I've started writing a NixOS config to replace the Ubuntu install that I currently have on my server. I'm starting to question if it makes sense though, since the Nextcloud Snap is very convenient (it even includes a backup/restore script) and I don't know if I'll be able to easily replicate all of that easily using the NixOS module.
I have it in nix and use the postrgesql backup config + borg in nixos to move the database and files on another host for backups. I would say it is not too complicated as long as you dont want to have it fully declarative (i sill manage users and apps in nextcloud itself).
I run my nextcloud using docker, which could be another option. I've also heard of Nextcloud All in One (AIO) which might be useful as well. Neither are nix solutions, but could be as convenient as the snap.
