It seemed nice at first, but one major issue: GPU passthrough was a nightmare. It cant be done in the UI and I didnt understand fully how it worked. There are many different tutorials not by promox that are outdated or may not work. It was frustrating enough I jumped to NixOS. Other hiccups included having to go to the terminal to passthrough drives for openmediavault, but that one was kind of straightforward atleast, and it worked first time.

In hindsight, I didnt actually need to virtualize everything at that level, so I never really had a good use case for it anyway. I use containers over entire VMs.

That looks like the same idea for a different set of tools. That’s a great reference, thank you!

Pff, if pandas gets me numpy that works that may not be a bad hack. I’ll try this! Sorry I dont know how to fix qt!

I’ve had the same problem running numpy. Shockingly with a library so popular I havent found a way to make an environment with it work. I also had the most success with poetry, so I think you’re on the right track.

I used nixos-mailserver with success, and very little configuration. Most of it was dns, and thr guide walked me through it. You would have to a nixos box somewhere though. I spun one up on my vps for it.

If you enable iptables you may have to disable firewall.

I am also using nixvim. Didn’t know about this fork. I think I like it? It beats manually writing setup configs. But Im not a vim superuser by any means, so I’m sure nixneovim would be equally useful to me.

Use git? Use CI/CD? What do you mean?

That’s right, “text-generation-webui”. At least its unambiguous lol. Thanks for sharing.

What GPU are you using to run it? And what UI are you using to interface with it? (I know of gpt4all and the generic sounding ui-text-generation program or something)

Do you prefer the track ball for your thumb or for your middle finger?

Sorry about your troubles. Keep at it, I promise its greener on the other side.

One tip: nix-env installs things ad hoc. Its against fhe whole philosphy of nix, where your system state is defined in files. So don’t ever use that. If you need any generic package, you can add it to environment.systemPackages. If you accidentally installed something that way, its okay. Just know you might get an error if you try installing it both from nixos-rebuild and nix-env. If that happens, just uninstall from nix-env.

What database client do you use? Maybe a plain database is enough with the right client.

Doesn’t need to. That’s a plus though. I think the features I like the most are dropdowns for foreign keys and more specific column types. For instance, a date type gives me a calendar picker, and an image type lets me upload and image and then see it as I browse the data.

Yes everyone would need a client (probably?) but after having recently set it up the first time, its incredibly simple.

You can also use p2p mesh vpn services like zerotier or tailscale to establish a direct connection without opening any port in the router at all.

Futhark is another language with the same goals, executed differently.

You want to look at the registry. Run nix registry list. You’ll see that nixpkgs by default points to unstable. You override this in your config. I’ve done that, where nixpkgs is stable and “unstable” is unstable.

EDIT: heres part of my home manager config that changes this: https://github.com/rutrum/dots/blob/master/users/modules/cli/nix.nix#L15
