On the other hand, my NixOS configuration is slowly turning to be a nice monorepo for deploying everything I want.
It is surprisingly easier to manage them but the part that's giving me the hardest part is the deployment.
As for private files and deployments, this is easy to manage with [[https://git-scm.com/docs/git-worktree][Git worktrees]] which is somewhat tedious to make sure my public and private branches to sync.

The configuration for Vaultwarden are in place in my first NixOS-powered deployment but most of the problems are from the lack of understanding the networking infrastructure.
Fortunately for me, there is the [[https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-handbook/][Debian Handbook]] with details on each facets on the infrastructure.
It is specifically aimed for Debian systems but it is good enough if you're familiar with the interface (which is just a command-line shell such as Bash).
Before that, the trouble comes from setting up a mailer which is troublesome if you only have a GMail account.
However, I'm also considering to move my email provider from GMail to something else.
Candidates include Fastmail, Zoho Mail, and mailbox.org, all of which has a paid plan (and also a long trial period of at least 2 weeks).
In the end, I decided to not use mailing services altogether for my self-hosted services for the time being.
As for self-hosting my code, I did initially consider Sourcehut since I'm largely interested in how much resources it needs to host it.
However, that didn't work out as there seems to be a lot of maintenance required for my current needs which is simple right now.
I still heavily consider it for future endeavors though especially with its comprehensive documentation and integration of services is just nice to have.
Not to mention, Sourcehut is still in alpha which indicates the maintainers still have plans for it.
Its primary maintainer especially [[https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31964064][considers Sourcehut to be easier to self-host]] so the plan of self-hosting Sourcehut is not entirely thrown away.
In the end, I decided to use [[https://gitea.io/][Gitea]] considering there is already a NixOS module for it (at least in version 22.11) and implementing a new way to communicate between forges with [[https://forgefed.org/][ForgeFed]].
This means collaboration between different instances is very much possible and I'm in support for them.
Compared to Sourcehut, Gitea is simpler to initialize which I was able to quickly start an instance.
Most of the time came from viewing the configuration options and testing the instance.
