Couldn’t help myself and converted another VM to 😅

This one used to be an OpenMediaVault samba appliance that later grew in scope and now runs a systemd service or two.

Converted it to NixOS before things escalate. The initial setup and samba config was done in about 30 minutes. The services took longer.

This was a good move as it made setting up vsftpd (for receiving scans over LAN from a network scanner) for testing purposes quite easy :)

Also sops-nix is cool (will blog about it!)

The newly installed system passed the “will it work in production?” test with new files successfully being saved by users (same IP address, same samba passwords) 🥳

Fun to see the CPU being, like, totally idle — I guess 20 MB files mean nothing to a modern computer anymore :)

This is on the Ryzen Mini PC, BTW: michael.stapelberg.ch/posts/20

(The software in the screenshot is called btop, before you ask.)
