## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: configuration-management, deployment, infrastructure-as-code
- domain: self-hosted, infrastructure-as-code, cloud-computing
- platform: cli
- tags: nixos, nix-flakes, server-profiles, hetzner, declarative-configuration, devops, linux
