Server Profile#

NixOS profile optimized for headless server environments.

Usage#

{
  myNixOS.profiles.server.enable = true;
}

What It Does#

• Minimal footprint: Disables documentation and reduces system overhead.
• Log management: Volatile journald storage with 32MB limits to preserve disk space.
• File monitoring: Optimized inotify limits for server workloads.
• Memory management: ZRAM swap with zstd compression for efficiency.
• Security: Automatic fail2ban protection against brute force attacks.
• Performance tuning: BPF-based automatic kernel tuning.
• Reliability: systemd-oomd for out-of-memory protection.

Important Notes#

Disables coredumps and emergency mode for unattended operation.
