Is anyone in the home lab community running NixOS on a Raspberry Pi 4B (8GB), and could share your frustrations or cautionary tales? I am seriously considering dividing into that. I don't need convincing. At this point I just need to know where the rakes and the skeletons are. So basically just give me the dirt. 😄 #HomeLab #NixOS @homelab@fedigroups.social

  • @badnetmask@hachyderm.io I do, can recommend. I destroyed 2 or 3 MicroSD cards before switching to a case with an SSD. I currently have a 512 GB SSD and an external HDD plugged in via USB. It's been a while since I set it up, do you have any specific questions?

    @badnetmask@hachyderm.io @homelab@fedigroups.social I'm running a Pi 5 but I think that has a different setup.

    @badnetmask@hachyderm.io @homelab@fedigroups.social I've seen some posts from @giggio@mastodon.social  about NixOS on his homelab, not sure about the RPi version
