Oops, that doesn’t sound like a great idea.

Thanks for the suggestion. Sorry, I’m new to NixOps. Can I use it to deploy onto an already existing NixOS instance? I’m using a dedicated server and don’t want to run anything “on the cloud” or inside a virtual machine. (I’m planning to run NixOS as a container host.)
