Awesome! Been great watching this product improve so quickly, can't wait for what's next :)

You retain the IP as long as you keep the VM. If you delete it, you'll loose the IP.

Yes, it's ideal for this!

You could start here: https://github.com/fdmtl/machine0-nixos

It'll click faster if you learn with an agent!

Yea, I totally get it. The thing is agents change the game. You no longer need to worry about the learning curve or how best to implement.

Just point your agent at a machine0 VM and say "make a machine that does X", then you get code you can use to build on any nix box and you'll always get the same result.

Once you experience this, it's hard to go back to a "traditional" OS, you'll want to nixify everything :)

I'm also a big fan of proxmox! Would be happy to help you extend machine0 though :) Happy to chat about your requirements over email: [email protected]

You could point your agent at the machine0 CLI and ask it to :)

It's not possible to modify the VM outside of the flake :)

Always happy to meet others that are working with NixOS :) I've just added the License - it's MIT.

Been great having you :)

Thanks! Yup, one of the benefits of defining your VMs as code using Nix, is that you can take that code to any supplier, and you're guaranteed exactly the same build.

Yes you can! Just add the filesystem MCP server: https://director.run/registry/filesystem

Yes, this is something you'll be able to implement the middleware functionality that's on our roadmap.

MCP also has an upcoming feature called Elicitation that you might find interesting: https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/draft/client/e...
