#asknostr I gave up on #NixOS, it didn't want to work the way I had wanted it to. So, now I need an alternative. Are there systems like NixOS - or something similiar - where you have one config file to define but the whole and entire OS?

Use Cases:

- Define my btcd and cln config/plugins install additional software and make those services all go through Tor.

- Define my k3s node; Node config and friends and have basically nothing else on it aside from Telegraf for whole-system-monitoring.

Sadly, OpenWrt isn't really fit for this; although it's uci config system is amazing! But it only does configs, not packages, so this is a little difficult...

Long term, I want to store those host configs in git a-la `$hostname/...files...` and perhaps `shared/` to in case some things can in fact be shared like k8s deployments. o.o

nostr:npub1tcekjparmkju6k83r5tzmzjvjwy0nnajlrwyk35us9g7x7wx80ys9hjmky What was it about NixOS that you didn't like?

Maybe buildroot/yocto/some other embedded distro will do what you want?
