I give up. I've tried to make NixOS work as my coinage system in lxd/incus but it can't even do a single, simple rebuild - immediately fails, every time with something else. It is completely and utterly frustrating... The trace is also completely useless in telling me what exactly went down. Highly disappointed. It works on the RasPi we deploy at work, but the moment you do something funny with it, it falls into a thousand pieces?... I'd rather try and find something like ansible + alpine to use instead. This... this ain't it, chief.

One configuration to rule them all. Basically, have one config to describe everything and how it is supposed to link together and then just keep that config, and perhaps a few extras like mnemonic seeds or stuff extra safe rather than the whole multi-gigabyte setup so I can always reproduce the setup if needed. In most cases, this would've probably been just the entirity of /home and /etc/nixos.

The idea was to run btcd, cln + plugins and a few extras in it's own hyper-isolated space and just point it to i2p and tor that were installed and running elsewhere on the network. Unfortunately, that did not materialize.
