I literally just sent some friends a docker image and told them to point Luna at it, for which they were set up in ~20minutes and $3 of tokens, so I'm skeptical.
My homelab is also currently ~40 nix service VM's plus a handful of Ubuntu, etc long tail, and some external DO droplets for NAT, and a more robust vlan config than I'd ever been able to put time towards before... which I haven't had to do more than a dozen hours of manual setup on IN TOTAL thanks to Fable, Sol and local Qwen.
There's truth in this post, but I doubt it's longevity.
Why split the nix into so many VMs instead of just systemd units?
