Introducing NixOS Anywhere

A pretty high-level article about a little tool we built. Hope you like it!

The tool looks quite interesting, but the website layout and column width is just about unusable on mobile.

Was there a particular reason to rename it from nixos-remote? That said, I’ve used this for some months now and it’s a pleasure on Hetzner at least.

Yeah, we’ll get that fixed.

How does this compared with GitHub - numtide/system-manager: Manage system config using nix on any distro ?

The mobile experience should be better now.

System manager doesn’t replace the underlying operating system, it brings NixOS modules to non-NixOS distros. With NixOS Anywhere you point it at a system running Ubuntu for example, and by the end the OS has been replaced with NixOS.
