RE: NixOS in production
Raw
gistfile1.md

I think Gabriel's blogpost http://www.haskellforall.com/2018/08/nixos-in-production.html he explains how to work around nixos-rebuild's inflexibilities. However, I think everything that is being suggested is actually possible in nixos-rebuild already

They blog is still a good exercise to understanding what nixos-rebuild does behind the scenes though.

Deploy to a target machine, from a build machine, with pinned nixpkgs, and a specific nixos config:

nixos-rebuild switch \
  --build-host=build@build.service.consul \
  --target-host=root@node1.node.consul \
  -I nixos-config=./configs/node1.nix nixpkgs=https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/archive/b74b1cdb2fecc31ff7a127c5bc89771f887c93bb.tar.gz
