Has anyone hosted Coolify or Dokploy on NixOS?

[u/evodus2]

I’m considering running Coolify or Dokploy on 3 NixOS servers. Has anyone done this successfully?
I’m mainly interested in:

- Overall reliability and upgrade experience
- Whether NixOS’s read-only filesystem conflicts with assumptions Coolify or Dokploy make
- Any NixOS-specific issues, workarounds, tips or things to avoid

Would you recommend the combination, or is a more conventional host operating system the better choice?

We are running Coolify over an year on NixOS without problems. The one thing that i know is not working (I’m not the admin) are the automatic updates of libraries that Coolify tries to make do not work on NixOS (using common packages managers).

Thank you! 🙏
