    I have not read the full docs on setting up lemmy yet. But i don’t think it matters what distro you use as long as the distro can run docker. So setup docker and from their it is the same for any distro.

        That is cool. I did not know this. Still i think docker would be the most universal and simple way.

          If someone is using NixOS, they would prefer native support. It’s easier to set up than Docker and fully integrated with the rest of their system’s configuration. Though NixOS also supports declaring OCI containers (with Docker or Podman) if needed.

      The point of Nix is to not use docker. Nix, in theory, eliminates the need for docker.
