I don't have a good guide. I had to just start getting my hands dirty and piece it together. My strategies: - keep the documentation open - install nixos in a vm - search github for "configuration.nix" to find fully worked examples for nixos. I just cloned anything that looked useful[1] and would grep through it - read the source code for nixpkgs - search google and search https://discourse.nixos.org/ when you have an idea of what you want to do to find other people discussing it It took me a couple days to have a very basic system running and a month to port most of my setup into nix (running some containers, overriding system packages, defining my own packages, running unmodified binaries using nix-ld). I still use non-nix containers for a few services that I don't want to port over (but if I had known nix when I started I definitely wo

uld've used it). Every step of the way was a huge struggle but the tools I have learned stay useful so I hope it is worthwhile investment. Still sometimes the extra nix friction is really frustrating but I can't help but think Nix or something like it is inevitably the future of software.

I do have all these things (https://github.com/Mic92/dotfiles/blob/master/nixos/eve/modu..., https://github.com/Mic92/dotfiles/blob/master/nixos/eve/modu..., https://github.com/Mic92/dotfiles/blob/master/nixos/eve/modu... ...). Especially things like ACME work a lot better the NixOS-provided curated and unit-tested acme module compared to setting up it yourself. You can also use the Nixos simple mail server setup that already provides sane defaults and puts the individual nixos modules together: https://gitlab.com/simple-nixos-mailserver/nixos-mailserver/
