Would any of you be interested in a semi-curated NixOS config? (lemmy.world)

I'm currently working on a small setup for myself to have my complete home server in a Nix-config. That means, services, backup, etc. And if I can, having everything nice and separated into different files.

Currently, it's just the few services I need, and a bunch of hard coded constants/passwords, but I wondered if there's any interest from you guys to use and maybe even collaborate on this kind of project?

Maybe it even already exists.

Just put it on Codeberg or Github. Having other people's config for reference is always nice. Especially for beginners.

That was my plan, but removing all the stuff specific to my setup takes a bit of time, so I wanted to test the waters first.

Fair enough. I personally think someday someone will have the same niche issue I've already tackled and be happy to stumble over my code while googling it. So I just drop most things I do somewhere for other people to find. Regardless.

But concerning NixOS, I also still need to switch over a few things to agenix and generalize parts of my config before publishing it.

I'm still conflicted a bit if maybe the new wiki would be a better place. My Github project is (to a casual googler) just some random bloke on the internet dumping some files, while the wiki is at least somewhat curated and official.

Doing both would be the best, obviously, but I'm also struggling with adulting, so I don't have that much time on my hands.
