NixOps containers: new deployment backend

[tekeri]

Hi all,
I've created and privately used new backend of NixOps which can be used to deploy to systemd-nspawn containers on a remote. But the project structure has changed since then and I'm at a loss now. Could you help me to integrate this branch?

Thanks.

Is it possible to add this container backend again from scratch? Maybe having it in its own specific repository like nixops-libvirt https://github.com/nix-community/nixops-libvirtd

Your suggestion is nice and I have the same idea, but unfortunately, I don't have time to work on it these days. It is appreciated if my work is ported.

It should be rewritten for more consistent state management in any case... It should work consistently even if the host state is changed over time.

Closed this issue as I no longer use NixOps in favor of nixos-rebuild --target-host and Terraform nixos_module. Feel free to reopen it if anyone needs it.
