SrvOS is a collection of opinionated, shareable NixOS modules and profiles optimized for servers, maintained by the nix-community and Numtide. It packages battle-tested server configurations (including hardware profiles for Hetzner) that can be composed into your own NixOS flake.

Use cases

  • configure a nixos server with opinionated defaults
  • deploy nixos on hetzner cloud vms
  • share common server modules across nixos hosts
  • bootstrap a nixos machine with nixos-anywhere and disko
  • run a github actions runner on nixos
  • avoid rewriting the same nixos server configs for every deployment

When to choose

  • you manage NixOS servers and want pre-tested, opinionated profiles
  • you deploy to Hetzner (cloud or dedicated AMD) hardware
  • you use Nix flakes and want a tested nixpkgs pin for servers

When to avoid

  • you don't use NixOS or the Nix language
  • you need fully custom server configurations rather than opinionated verticals
  • you target platforms other than Linux servers
