I just ported my laptop’s configuration to a flake.nix and would like to port my server’s configurations too. Are flakes supported by nixops? I haven’t been able to find any information on it.

Good question. I would like to know that too.
In this blog post we saw how Nix flakes make NixOS configurations hermetic and reproducible. In a future post, we’ll show how we can do the same for cloud deployments using NixOps.
It seems that an article is in progress about this
Edit: I found this post https://lukebentleyfox.net/posts/building-this-blog/
Nice find. But which version of nixops support --flake, and how do I get it?
It’s been available for quite a while. When I tested it, I pulled it in as a flake from it’s repo.
The example I shared uses GitHub - lukebfox/nixops-plugged: NixOps 2.0 with batteries included.
Using the nix flake makes this available through the devShell with nix develop.
I had the same problem facing here. Was also looking for nixos friendly hoster and found vpsfree.org.
See GitHub - vpsfreecz/example-nixops-deployment: Example deployment for vpsFree container deployment for an example for a setup in their environment. It should be easy to adapt to a bare metal server.
