[1567.62 --> 1568.66] And I started thinking
[1568.66 --> 1569.68] about what I could do
[1569.68 --> 1570.56] to solve this problem
[1570.56 --> 1572.12] and I started thinking
[1572.12 --> 1573.32] about your favorite
[1573.32 --> 1573.88] Ansible,
[1574.16 --> 1574.66] of course.
[1575.46 --> 1576.08] Perhaps like,
[1576.14 --> 1576.26] you know,
[1576.28 --> 1577.14] this was an opportunity
[1577.14 --> 1579.02] and my moment in time
[1579.02 --> 1580.32] to learn Ansible.
[1580.86 --> 1581.66] I'm sure you think
[1581.66 --> 1582.62] that's probably a great idea.
[1582.62 --> 1583.88] Well,
[1583.92 --> 1584.44] you're not going to hear
[1584.44 --> 1585.82] anything bad
[1585.82 --> 1586.84] about some kind
[1586.84 --> 1587.56] of config management
[1587.56 --> 1588.02] from me.
[1588.08 --> 1588.20] No,
[1588.26 --> 1588.42] no.
[1588.64 --> 1589.30] I think Ansible
[1589.30 --> 1590.98] is a laudable goal.
[1591.86 --> 1592.52] So instead,
[1592.60 --> 1593.32] I did a hard write
[1593.32 --> 1595.58] and turned from that
[1595.58 --> 1596.68] and went down
[1596.68 --> 1597.60] the path of Nix.
[1598.76 --> 1599.68] And the reason
[1599.68 --> 1600.64] why I got to Nix
[1600.64 --> 1601.98] is I wanted...
[1601.98 --> 1602.42] God damn it.
[1602.44 --> 1603.20] I wanted...
[1603.20 --> 1603.74] I know,
[1603.78 --> 1604.08] I'm sorry.
[1604.28 --> 1604.56] I know.
[1604.64 --> 1605.44] We're so close.
[1605.70 --> 1606.58] I wanted something
[1606.58 --> 1609.24] that was reproducible
[1609.24 --> 1609.96] from the metal
[1609.96 --> 1611.78] so I could essentially
[1611.78 --> 1612.76] just recreate
[1612.76 --> 1614.28] the same exact setup
[1614.28 --> 1615.70] by just dropping
[1615.70 --> 1616.86] in some config files
[1616.86 --> 1618.50] and building the system.
[1619.20 --> 1621.28] And that's what Nix provides.
[1621.98 --> 1622.98] And then as I start
[1622.98 --> 1624.68] to use Nix
[1624.68 --> 1625.24] and Nix OS
[1625.24 --> 1626.94] and I tried Nix OS
[1626.94 --> 1628.30] versus just putting Nix
[1628.30 --> 1629.26] on top of a distro
[1629.26 --> 1630.96] and really it's just a...
[1631.92 --> 1632.96] It's kind of like...
[1633.60 --> 1634.24] It's a matter of
[1634.24 --> 1635.22] how far do you want
[1635.22 --> 1636.06] to be able to control
[1636.06 --> 1636.86] the system, right?
[1636.86 --> 1637.62] Are you good with
[1637.62 --> 1639.26] setting up a base distro
[1639.26 --> 1640.54] and keeping its package manager
[1640.54 --> 1641.68] going and then putting
[1641.68 --> 1642.24] Nix on there
[1642.24 --> 1643.36] and then rebuilding everything?
[1643.52 --> 1644.40] Or would you like to build
[1644.40 --> 1645.86] everything from the ground up?
[1646.36 --> 1647.30] User accounts,
[1647.46 --> 1648.36] groups, permissions,
[1649.14 --> 1649.74] everything,
[1650.24 --> 1651.06] reproduce everything.
[1651.18 --> 1651.74] And that's the route
[1651.74 --> 1652.32] I want to go.
[1652.78 --> 1653.38] And that's why
[1653.38 --> 1654.62] I went more than just Nix
[1654.62 --> 1655.36] the package manager.
[1655.48 --> 1656.24] I went to Nix OS.
[1657.36 --> 1658.44] And the Nix OS
[1658.44 --> 1659.66] way of doing things
[1659.66 --> 1661.48] is extremely compelling
[1661.48 --> 1662.92] because you can...
[1662.92 --> 1664.38] With very simple syntax,
[1664.66 --> 1665.28] you can say,
[1665.40 --> 1666.42] I want containers.
[1667.20 --> 1669.52] And then you build the system
[1669.52 --> 1671.00] and you can test it
[1671.00 --> 1672.02] before you deploy it
[1672.02 --> 1673.04] and it's reproducible
[1673.04 --> 1673.74] and it's so great.
[1673.78 --> 1674.70] But you build the system
[1674.70 --> 1675.82] and if you tell it,
[1675.90 --> 1677.20] I want containers,
[1678.22 --> 1679.78] the Nix system
[1679.78 --> 1681.04] figures it all out, man.
[1681.18 --> 1681.90] It figures out
[1681.90 --> 1682.90] the software dependencies,
[1683.12 --> 1683.64] the services
[1683.64 --> 1684.62] that need to be installed.
[1684.72 --> 1686.04] You can make declarations
