You retain the IP as long as you keep the VM. If you delete it, you'll loose the IP.
Yes, it's ideal for this!
You could start here: https://github.com/fdmtl/machine0-nixos
It'll click faster if you learn with an agent!
Yea, I totally get it. The thing is agents change the game. You no longer need to worry about the learning curve or how best to implement.
Just point your agent at a machine0 VM and say "make a machine that does X", then you get code you can use to build on any nix box and you'll always get the same result.
Once you experience this, it's hard to go back to a "traditional" OS, you'll want to nixify everything :)
Thanks! I'm so happy to be building this :)
Soon!
It's funny, because my homelab is exactly where this started :)
Would love to join the next one!
I'm also a big fan of proxmox! Would be happy to help you extend machine0 though :) Happy to chat about your requirements over email: barnaby@machine0.io
You could point your agent at the machine0 CLI and ask it to :)
It's not possible to modify the VM outside of the flake :)
Thank you!
Always happy to meet others that are working with NixOS :) I've just added the License - it's MIT.
Been great having you :)
Thanks! Yup, one of the benefits of defining your VMs as code using Nix, is that you can take that code to any supplier, and you're guaranteed exactly the same build.

Yes you can! Just add the filesystem MCP server: https://director.run/registry/filesystem
Yes, this is something you'll be able to implement the middleware functionality that's on our roadmap.
MCP also has an upcoming feature called Elicitation that you might find interesting: https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/draft/client/e...
Thank you! Feel free to let me know if you need help getting it working!
Yup, this is exactly the problem we're solving with Director :)
Upflow (YCW20) | Paris or Remote | Typescript, React, Heroku, Postgres | https://upflow.io Upflow is a new kind of payments platform for B2B businesses.

Getting paid on time represents a significant problem for B2B companies. Unlike consumer payments, where we've seen massive amounts of innovation in the form of companies like Venmo & Revolut, B2B payments remain archaic. We're on a mission to fix this, and bring delightful B2C experiences to B2B finance teams in the process.
We run on React / GraphQL / Node / Express / Postgres We're still really small (3 developers) and are looking for great hackers to work across the stack on problems ranging from payments, security, product and data.

Why not just outsource hosting to Heroku or something similar? Unless you're building something with extremely exotic requirements, it seems like you're just wasting time trying to build out your own infra.

------------------------------
I'm a full stack engineer with a founders mindset (I've interviewed at YC a few times). I have over 10 years of experience across the entire stack: frontend, backend, iOS, Android, UX and product.
I hold a masters degree from a top 10 university (Imperial College), have done stints in academia (PhD dropout), big companies (Apple & Morgan Stanley) and more startups than I can count.
The people that I work with tend to value my ability to go from a very loose set of requirements to a very high quality product in an extremely short amount of time.
