I use nixos on my laptop, but never learnt enough to make it my everywhere-OS.

Might I suggest a different route that I took - use the base image from whatever vps and modify as little as possible of it. Then run everything else in docker.

That's how I migrated my placeholder website and my gogs install across to a new provider: I copied my data across and ran the original commands to launch docker containers that I used on the first server. These are now happily running on the new server.
