Anyone with experience using NixOS to create a Lemmy instance, please share any caveats and troubleshooting tips you have.

  • Oh hello, my instance is on NixOS!
    There’s a NixOS module for lemmy, but it’s kind of broken right now and in the middle of a PR. If you want, you can replace the current nix package with the one from the fork, and successfully deploy it, however, if I were you, I’d just wait a week or so.

    The configuration right now requires a bunch of hacks, and even doing some non-reproducible stuff.
