TIL #nginx recently added add_header_inherit which, as the name suggests, makes lower directives inherit the add_header fields from higher directives

before that, it wasn't easily possible to add shared headers on a higher level as you'd risk overwriting them in another block

I recently played with the idea of getting a RISC-V SBC, how's NixOS support for that? Are you cross-compiling or using binfmt?

I recently migrated to the dendritic organization approach which in my opinion is best described at https://not-a-number.io/2025/refactoring-my-infrastructure-as-code-configurations
(example implementation at https://github.com/mightyiam/infra)

From that, I deploy my machines with deploy-rs. Should note that I also have a json file from where I import host properties like address, ssh user etc

Also modules and packages live in a seperate repository and not along my machines

good luck on the journey. I think I had a similar approach when I ...

good luck on the journey. I think I had a similar approach when I started though technically, the first two or three machines I migrated did not share a common flake.

I'm pretty sure you'll migrate off that layout / setup at one point for maintainability reasons, but you still have some months until that bothers you ;)

Btw you can also use NixOS on those RPis. I use it on a similar SBC in my network. https://pc-hass.de/blog/nixos-on-renegade/ the second half is specific to the board but the rest is generic in case you're interested

nixos-rebuild can deploy to a different host, are you doing that or am I misunderstanding? --target-host is the option for that

If you're using flakes, it was probably just an issue of copying the existing configuration imports and adding the import for the installer iso? Or was it more sophisticated

I've always just used either the plain iso for my servers or the nixos-anywhere kexec image in case the machine is remote only. The iso contents don't really matter in my opinion if you can just push the config.

Different story for something I did for work where I included specific tools to help with the setup process. But for single machines, default does the trick.

There's nothing wrong with tinkering though, just my personal opinion.
