Looks like Digital Ocean doesn't support NixOS as a Base OS. Seems this just adds that?

Does this not cover it?

Not out of the box, although you can upload a custom image to a Space, or you can instantiate a machine as any other Linux distribution and then assimilate it with nixos-infect or similar.

Used custom images with NixOS few times. Works OK.

Just to be clear: I don't charge for this feature.
It's a free offering in Shipnix for everyone who is registered, and then you are free to create servers with this image through the DigitalOcean dashboard if that's what you prefer.
When a new NixOs release is ready, you can log into the Shipnix dashboard, and replace the image with the current stable one, also at no charge.
