I’ll let you compare the nix 2.4 manual page (https://web.archive.org/web/20211201073051/https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/command-ref/new-cli/nix3-flake.html) with the current one (https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/command-ref/new-cli/nix3-flake.html).

The flakes interface of nix may change in the future, and you should be prepared to update your code, documentation etc. if and when that happens. Consider flakes have been around since nix 2.4 and the interface haven’t drastically changed since then. If that risk sounds acceptable to you, then do use it :)
There is an ongoing effort to get flakes away from the experimental category, but as you may guess, it is a big chunk to stabilize all at once. The original RFC was closed https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/pull/49 a long while ago, due to it describing the experimental feature, and not the final one. AFAIK, there’s no “one” RFC being discussed on finalizing an initial stable version of flakes (but I could swear I’ve heard of one).
3·1 year agoThere is a lemmy nixos module https://search.nixos.org/options?channel=unstable&from=0&size=50&sort=relevance&type=packages&query=lemmy in nixpkgs which is functional. Or at least almost there in terms of ease of use. Even with experience, it still took me over an hour before I could successfully start my instance.
ofc this doesn’t cover the host creation, and other details, I already had a server with NixOS running.
