I've been running a NixOS droplet on DigitalOcean, via nixos-in-place[1] for about a year. The process for getting it on there is janky, but it's smooth sailing afterward. 1: https://github.com/jeaye/nixos-in-place On Mon, Dec 12, 2016 at 02:30:07PM +0100, Alexandre Peyroux wrote: > Anyone trie

I tested various mechanisms and cloud providers over the last few weeks. All providers I tested worked, although I often got less CPU than advertised . Some combinations didn't work, e.g. I can't boot grsecurity kernels on EC2. I'm sure the latter is possible, I just didn't have time to investigate
