I am aware of robotnix at least since 2020-11-05 (git reflog of my local checkout). Back then I decided to stick with stuff I know, namely Bash, Python and docker, so I ended up with HashbangMobile.

As I was preparing to get this project up-to-date again, I took a more serious look at https://github.com/danielfullmer/robotnix. I dedicated the past weeks to learn Nix and I am fascinated by it. I feel robotnix has more potential than HashbangMobile. Especially when I look at the goals of HashbangMobile, Nix and robotnix provide a far better foundation than our ways with Docker. All I did was basically trying to rebuild Nix with stuff like http://snapshot.debian.org/ and it did not work as well as Nix does.

I deeply dislike redundant work so my goal is to fully understand robotnix, get it up-to-date and integrate stuff from HashbangMobile into robotnix. Unfortunately as I read robotnix I noticed that this will take me realistically a few months (I do this in my spare time). I cannot commit that much time right now so I delay getting robotnix up-and-running until I can block that much time.
