Sometimes unification can be an advantage.

I run Proxmox at home, but now that I have been drinking the NixOS koolaid over the past 2 years, all of my homelab problems suddenly look like Nix-shaped nails.

Same. Here's how I scratch the NixOS itch on Proxmox and/or libvirt[1]. One interface for both targets.

That feature list looks really good. It would actually be really nice to standardize the guest operating systems in such a way.

I actually have a few hosts that only run docker. I might be able to test with those.

Well it looks like we might soon be able to have the benefits of NixOS while also having bhyve (and presumably Sylve): https://github.com/nixos-bsd/nixbsd

Looks like Nix will eat the world soon. :)

Damn this is crazy!
I have the same thing with proxmox especially after I realized how well it integrates with proxmox backup server. And I haven't even gotten into clustering yet. It really is a very solid product.
Indeed, Proxmox VE is an amazing product.
