Migrate to NixOS for reproducibility and simplicity about tuffix HOT 4 CLOSED

It seems like Tuffix actually uses Ansible to deploy. Ansible has almost the same flaws as shell scripts do, such as potentially breaking the system by overriding configuration files. It is also not built-in, which makes it relatively harder to use.

Seriously? The only solution you see is migrating the entire system to a new fancy thing? A "thing" that no one involved in the project understands? If that wasn't enough, NixOS is infamous for it's documentation, or lack thereof.

I don't see where I wrote that it is the only solution.

I did explain quite a few points about the system.

If that wasn't enough, NixOS is infamous for it's documentation, or lack thereof.

I'm not sure how this is the case either.

Why the hostile comment?

Let's please be civil.

Thank you for your interest and for taking the time to do this. However, this suggestion is not compatible with the purpose of this project. Please introduce yourself in the slack workspace and learn about the requirements for this software. The whole point is to provide a definitive build platform on an annual release cycle. Rolling releases would undermine that.
