I’ve started using NixOS heavily in my homelab in the last few months, inspired by some limited experience a year ago and my love of Terraform I decided to take the plunge with one system in the lab, eventually it finished with the decommissioning of my VMware ESXi host and my Kubernetes cluster. So now I run a NixOS hypervisor hosting several virtual machines via microvm.nix. The microvms are true virtual machines using Qemu and KVM, but share the host’s /nix/store via virtiofs, allowing the VM to be essentially stateless and manageable by the host’s NixOS configuration.
