So, I got into NixOS and installed it on a VPS a few days ago. I've previously used yunohost.org (a debian based all-in-one selfhosting solution) and docker-compose. But I (now) really like the Nix(OS) approach, the amount of packaged software and how everything ties together in a clean server configuration.

However... I need a bit more information on the server stuff. Are there nice configurations around which I can incorporate and learn from? Extensive tutorials from other people who run their own services or communities?

I mean the basic stuff isn't a problem. I got Nextcloud and the most important stuff running, a DNS Adblocker, a chat server, nginx etc. But ultimately I'd like to share some services with friends and family. So I need single sign-on (SSO), preferably with an LDAP directory. An email server... And the Wiki and just googling it stop being helpful at this point.

Are there people who share their experience with LDAP/Authentik/Zitadel/Authelia/Keycloak / whatever SSO/Authentication software is packaged in Nix but I can't find anything about from people who actually use it? A comparison of the several available email servers?

Good that you tried. Nix simple mailserver is really neat. I am very pleased with it. I feel something like stalwart might take years to mature, but worth watching.
