I just learnt that if you write ordinary init script stuff, but do it in a NixOS configuration for systemd, then it is suddenly ‘declarative’, ‘reproducible’, yadda yadda yadda.

It’s still just ordinary init script stuff. It works the same in OpenRC. But if you do it in a NixOS configuration for systemd, then suddenly it is magical.

Of course, you could write rc.d style init scripts instead. Supposedly this is horrible, awful, and will destroy the universe. It worked for me, though.
