Has anyone hosted their on zulip server on nixos? It looks like the only think on nixpkgs is the desktop client.

Alex Chapman

I thought about it, but it looked hard, so I used Ubuntu instead. Beware, Zulip's installer (and upgrader) will blat your nginx.conf, so consider giving it its own VM.

thanks for the heads up

any large system written in the likes of python will mutate and mutilate your system during installation.

you can set it up inside a ubuntu lxc container in nixos (see https://www.srid.ca/2012301.html)
