 @lexi honestly no, this one doesn't want to convert stuff because this would be nix stuff to generate a helm chart which is then deployed somewhere. this absolutely would not reduce the complexity at all (and also not address any of the problems kubernetes has)  @sophie fair, in most cases it would probably be overkill but if it's something super verbose with a lot of boilerplate just generating it with a bit of nix code can actually bring the complexity down a bit lol @lexi true yeah.. and doing this via nix is a lot easier and less prone to breakage than via helm's templating system tbh @sophie yep. nix is a horrible [tool, language, os, ecosystem] but such a good [tool, language, os, ecosystem] |
@sophie Big Yaml doesn't want us to know this but a surprisingly large number of things can be done with the nixos module system. this one has built a very minimal nixos to ansible converter already, and this would work with kuwubernetes too (albeit with less existing infrastructure (haha) to do that like ansible has)
