It seems like this is more likely to happen by getting nixos smaller than making Alpine declarative.

It isn't perfect but I just end up installing nix (the package manager) and home-manager and hacking together my configuration through that.

The majority of my NixOS configuration is written in NixOS agnostic modules so it works pretty well.

I share my NixOS configurations between one bare metal Alpine install as well as an Alpine WSL2 install.

We are actually in the design phase for a declarative variant of Alpine using OSTree.

That sounds fun; is anything public yet / where should I watch for announcements?

If all goes to plan it will be part of Alpine 3.15 as a release variant.
