@kyles This is a great thread and welcome.

Since moving to #NixOS it really forced me to rethink overall software and systems design. I still utilise Docker but only when #nomad needs to schedule something that I haven't had the time or figured out how to package as a systemd setup.

I'm an advocate of people computing how they please. But with NixOS containers feel off to me.

I haven't found a good reason aside the above to run Docker services on my machine. I ran systems in the 00s with no containers now I'm revisiting that and have to say I like it.

Definitely check our @cadey blog. It's absolutely well done.
