 hanke | On a scale from 1 - 10 how difficult would you say using NixOS is?
I really like the idea of having a single config and my laptop / desktop will be the exact same.
I am just a little scared of how difficult the config might be. | 19:17:37 |
 K900 | Honestly just try it | 19:24:47 |

 Olivier Richard | If you have already experience with functional language/concept you will enjoy it, if not when issues/complex config appear you'll find strange some recommended solution/approach | 10:19:51 |

| faye | Hiya, my server setup right now is quite primitive, I was wondering, is there a better way to deploy singular applications?
For reference, my current workflow is:
Do a change in app Update singular app flake Commit Push Update flake input in server configuration Rebuild entire server

Also worth noting, I have one flake that contains both my personal laptop configuration and my server's | 17:23:27 |

What I'm currently trying to cut down on the most is updating flake inputs manually and rebuilding the entire server | 17:24:42 |
 gotha | if thats considered primitive, I am also interested in ways to improve the setup :) | 17:24:58 |
| faye | Well I don't know what's the actual standard for the average user, this is just what I suppose a normal workflow would be, which is why I do it this way in the first place | 17:26:26 |
| gotha | sure thing, I also don't know what the standard is, so I am looking forward to learn something new | 17:27:43 |
 magic_rb | I generally carry around --override-input my-input path:///home/me/whatever but its also not great | 17:30:09 |
