I have not read the full docs on setting up lemmy yet. But i don’t think it matters what distro you use as long as the distro can run docker. So setup docker and from their it is the same for any distro.
If someone is using NixOS, they would prefer native support. It's easier to set up than Docker and fully integrated with the rest of their system's configuration. Though NixOS also supports declaring OCI containers (with Docker or Podman) if needed.
do you have working config or flake available? im on latest unstable channel and it builds and installs fine but when trying to login or setup admin account i receive an error
syntaxerror: unexpected end of json input
which when traced in browser console it seems to do with captcha endpoint downgrade through reverse proxy. i use traefik so will have to investigate further
