Want to use NixOS "for real" at work? Interested in learning one of the hottest emerging DevOps technologies? Jumpstart your professional career by reading this book authored by a professional user of NixOS. NixOS is a Linux distribution built on top of the Nix package manager. It uses declarative configuration and allows reliable system upgrades. This book is a guide to using NixOS in production, where NixOS is an operating system built on top of the Nix package manager. This guide assumes that you have some familiarity with NixOS, so if you have never used NixOS before and you’re looking for a tutorial or introduction then this book might not be for you. Some chapters may review basic concepts, but in general they will not be written for a beginner audience. I’m writing this book because I cultivated years of professional experience doing all of the above, back when no such resource existed. I learned NixOS the hard way and I’m writing this book so that you don’t have to make the same mistakes I did. Currently, most educational resources for NixOS (including the NixOS manual) are written with desktop users in mind, whereas I view NixOS as far better suited as a production operating system. This book attempts to fill that documentation gap by catering to professional NixOS users instead of hobbyists.
