We're trying to explore different options for running services, and '''NixOS on Proxmox containers''' is one of them. Here's how it is supposed to work:

* '''Malleable''': it should be relatively easy to modify an existing service config, update software version, and migrate one software to another, as everything are written in Nix configuration files.
* '''Recoverable''': NixOS keeps old copies of the system, which can be reverted if we see any immediate issues.
* '''Discoverable''': Services are located in one canonical, centralized location. This reduces the time needed to find the specific config for a specific software, and also makes it easy for someone to know what services are running.
* '''Replicable''': As NixOS service configuration files are written in a human readable format, anyone wishing to use the "normal" way to configure their service should be able to understand how to setup their service in a similar way.
* '''Trackable''': Easy to manage and track changes using Git, maybe even with CI.

=== Setting up a Proxmox VM ===

If there isn't a template already, use https://hydra.nixos.org/job/nixos/release-25.05/nixos.proxmoxLXC.x86_64-linux (replace 25.05 with the latest release)

Use "Create CT", do not use the SSH config, and setup a root password. Then use the console on the web interface to login as root (press enter if you see a blank screen) and configure SSH from there.
