Oh interesting. It will be great if we can get it going in NixOS.
Yes, we call all discuss this in my own Matrix group if you wish.

Yes, sure thing. I use Matrix, XMPP, SIMPLEX, or NOSTR for communication. Let me know which one can work for you.
well shit.... discord wants to kyc me (needs phone number)...
Is there a way that you all have matrix?
I do have telegram reluctantly, as well. I see that you have a telegram channel.
Yes, as it is NixOS and it can run docker well. However, we like to keep things docker free. As keeping everything in NixOS is a better build experience and maintenance.
So, I guess it was more of specific thing for us and not really a concern of you all. :)
Hey all! I do appreciate your work!
Two things on my mind...
-
I would love to put Alby hub on the Sovran Pro. It would need to be in a flake (NixOS). Could that be possible?
-
What about having CLN as a backend as well for Alby Hub?
Thanks so much!
Yes, welcome to Nix! Yes, when I first started to use it, it blew my mind!
If you want bitcoin related stuff all working on NixOS here is our git page: https://git.sovranysystems.com
We also have to make running dedicated hardware nodes easy for people!! This is over looked.
We need something people can buy right away with no fuss (no need to install anything) and it is robust, stable, and easy to update. Most all current linux OS are complex to set up and complex to run bitcoind and lnd or cln. This applies to some sovereign node implementations, as well.
That is why I love NixOS as it can be crafted by a tech person, but used easily by a non-tech person. As a vast vast majority of folks will never run any Linux OS, let alone, to serve software system like bitcoind or lnd. They will not know what hardware to use nor the software to download.
That is why I have put my time and energy in trying to create a "set it and forget it" node system. I think this is piece of the puzzle to help fight poor node implementations, unmaintained nodes, etc. It will create a more quality sovereign infrastructure for Bitcoin and Lighting.
