Very cool!
Re: the backup / restore of state in NixOS: I found myself writing the same things over and over again for each VM/service, so finally wrote this wrapper module (in action e.g. here for Jellyfin), which confgures both the backup services and timers, as well as adding a simple
rsync-restore-jellyfincommand to the system packages. In case you find this useful and don't already have your own abstractions, or a sufficiently different use case ๐This is great! Thanks
