Hey everyone, I realized I should post this here.
I put some cycles into achieving a really clean deployment process using NixOS modules and deploy-rs on a digitalOcean node.
The Nix code is here:
https://github.com/roriholm/phoeNIX
And a short tutorial on getting the deploy process setup.
It might not be as streamlined as Docker/Fly.io options but it’s nice, it’s cheap, and it’s Nix.

Thanks. I will check this out.
In another Elixir project I was using Nix, systemd and some bash scripts.
I have not tried Deploy-rs.

The module.nix definition encapsulates the systemd+bash steps.
Then deploy-rs allows you to build the whole system locally and copy it up. I found this saved me a tier on my VPS subscription, since the store size required to build is that much larger than the final product.
