NixOS has native support for Lemmy, Docker/OCI containers are not needed.

That is cool. I did not know this. Still i think docker would be the most universal and simple way.

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
