@alxhu@greifswald.lgbt nixos-containers (i.e. backed by systemd-nspawn) because declarative, reproducible

@alxhu@greifswald.lgbt I make heavy use of Podman as it is docker in user space. But also I never used any of the others. Never had a need for it.

@alxhu@greifswald.lgbt I've been working a lot with nixos-containers lately. There is a learning curve to it, but you can have quite an amazing experience with them. In particular having something in-between fully nix managed but then being able to have a container on an older nix version while keeping others up to date is really useful, also for maintenance you can separate the system easier.

@alxhu@greifswald.lgbt I prefer building my own LXC setup.

@alxhu@greifswald.lgbt Comparing Docker with LXC is like apples with oranges. Or at least for me running LXC for one service feels like an overkill. I like docker compose for declarative style management.
