I'm running a NixOS VM. I've tried to dockerize it before but inevitably something always failed - with the VM approach it is always much more stable.

I just run it right in VMware Fusion / Workstation, and it works great. Extremely reliable, very low overhead still. It just takes a lot of storage is all :) But everything is always reproducible given the nature of the VM, without needing to pass around snapshots or clones.
