My main gripe is documentation.

Look at this:

https://nixos.wiki/wiki/PostgreSQL

Now, the real "workflow" with nix is look at other setups, or just look at the code:

https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/s...

And look at the code is the only reliable way to see what exactly is supported.

My second gripe is the fact is hard to see what nix do. Today I hit this trouble:

The thing is: Nixos not tell what is doing. `verbose` is too much noise.

What I wish now is something like:

    nix change nothing (if my changes somehow don't do anything, like in my issue) 

    nix setup users...
    nix setup postgresql
