@Linux what about #NixOS? Based in the Nederlands?

@TheTraveller or switch to a modern OS such as #NixOS or #Guix, write only free software and you only ever might have to back-up some data.

@freespiritlinux alles #nixos

3 Notebooks, 1 Desktop, Raspberry-Pi(s), Homeserver, VPS

@freespiritlinux bei mir läuft nixos auf meinem Alltagsgerät.

@nixos_org #linux #nixos

@demivan Hum interesting thks I honestly just know Talos by name but I would have expected that because #NixOS declarative nature the configuration will be simple, not sure about the moving you talking about.
With #NixOs i can use the GitOps approach tho i think, or at least this is what i am trying to do in the end.

@brodokk I have tried #kubernetes on #NixOS. It is an overkill, IMHO.
I recommend trying out #TalosLinux: https://www.talos.dev/
It is simpler, has less moving parts, and is easier to manage.
For Kubernetes, I recommend setting it up using GitOps approach.

Looks like someone added in support for #nixos #homemanager to the #immich uploader which is great to see! I merged it in so feel free to give it a try all! Should make it easier to get it running now on all the nixos mobile devices.

Third round for the #NixOS #Ansible bubble:

I think I have a solution! At least I got some thing working.

Having the python312 nixpkg installed is not enough. It is also not enough to have python312, python312Packages.kubernetes and python312Packages.cryptography installed.

I had to install them "in the same package":

```
home.packages = with pkgs; [
ansible
ansible-lint
(pkgs.python3.withPackages (python-pkgs: [
python-pkgs.cryptography
python-pkgs.kubernetes
]))
];
```

Then I could set the ansible_python_interpreter to `python3` and could use the kubernetes python module for using things from the kubernetes.core Ansible collection.

This is in addition to having the modules also available in the ansible derivation, no idea if that is really necessary.

I'll do some more digging and testing, but at least something worked now! I call that a win!

# NixOS #Ansible #Python #hellyeah

Me admiring my #guix config after being in #NixOS for so long:

"Can you make thiiings haaaarderrrrrrr?? A GNU place that's fuuulll of Scheeeeme!"

Second round for the #NixOS #Ansible bubble:

With lots of help I now have a Ansible derivation that includes python modules for requirements from e.g. the kubernetes.core Ansible collection.

But things still do not work. Example: Creating something in a Kubernetes cluster using the kubernetes.core collection. No matter whether I target localhost in my playbook or the remote host with a delegate_to for localhost.

Ansible uses the installed python directly, but without all the module-including-voodoo that is done in the .ansible-wrapped file (that is being called when "ansible" is being invoked". And thus the kubernetes module is not found.

I also tried installing python3 and python3Packages.kubernetes in addition to ansible. I see the kubernetes in $HOME/.nix-profile/lib/python3.12/site-packages/, but it is still not found. I tried telling Ansible that localhost has a python interpreter, but no change.

Frustrating...

@maxxieb (1/2)
I had to refrain from calling "Bingo", because I had anticipated that question. But it is an obvious question that deserves an answer. I also had to stop myself from quoting Shakespeare ("There more things ...").

In my case it boils down to this:
1. I have been experimenting with using #NixOS on my laptop, where I do all of my (private) things. I also have home-manager on my work laptop.
I can almost do all of the things I can on my #openSUSE #Tumbleweed laptop. This includes packaging for openSUSE.

But I have not converted all of my 3 dozen different VMs, servers, raspis, NUCs and whatnot to NixOS. They will keep running a mixture of immutable (openSUSE #MicroOS, #Fedora #CoreOS, NixOS, ...) and non-immutable things (Debian, Proxmox, ...). And I would like to be able to manage them from whatever host I am currently working from. Hence I would like to have a working Ansible environment on my NixOS laptop to manage other machines with.
