NixOS in Production

This is a work-in-progress book hosted on LeanPub about introducing and maintaining NixOS in a production environment.

I believe that digital scarcity is bullshit, so I made this book freely available under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License. That license covers both the source materials stored within this repository and the LeanPub edition of this book.

However, you can still show appreciation for the work I've done by purchasing the LeanPub edition of this book. Not only did I write this book, but I've contributed several improvements to the Nix ecosystem along the way to streamline the NixOS development experience documented in this book, including:

• Improved Terraform support for NixOS
• Nixpkgs support for Linux builders on macOS

I've also paid out of pocket for all professional services for this book and self-published so that this book can remain free and be published under an open license.

I will eventually release a separate print edition of this book with more professional layout services. If you purchase the LeanPub edition of this book you can contact me and I will discount whatever you paid from the purchase price of the print edition.
