I don't know much about Nix, but I'm planning on reading more about it.
Since you mentioned packer/proxmox/nixos-generators - am I understanding correctly that nix could be used instead of packer to generate a vm image/template for proxmox(or whatever hypervisor)? Is it limited to NixOS or could it create a centos image as an example?
I've used a combination of packer+ansible/chef/salt to create images, but it's always felt a little clunky.
