superb, are you running this with nixos ?

No, still Debian. NixOS is an interesting idea – we would not need Ansible then …

One thought with this video is it should be doable by most developers who have some Linux skills. Setting up a NixOS server on Linode is project in itself, so probably beyond the interest of most people.
