Migrating to Fedora Core OS would enable us to:

Remove Ansible
Remove the bare Debian image we have to build
Have a single file describing our deployment
Prevent the system from diverging over time

In the end, it seems to really follow the idea we have currently but it's a way cleaner approach, it could also ease on-boarding.

Why not nixOS then?

quentin changed title from ~~OS: It might make sense to migrate to Fedora Core OS~~ to Consider nix

Ahah we are synchronized!
I was looking at nixos more deeply just now and came to the same conclusion.
Even more interesting, I think we have a long but calm migration path:

We can start by building nix docker containers
Then replace gradually our machines with nixos
Then maybe consider dropping containers totally and replace it with a more lightweight isolation system better integrated with nix, maybe systemd, maybe somehting else.

We can start by building [nix docker containers](https://nixos.org/guides/building-and-running-docker-images.html) 2. Then replace gradually our machines with nixos 3.
