nixos

• /machines root machine configurations;
• /modules modules used by the machines;
• /apps runnable apps, used for installing and managing machines;
• /pkgs software packages that are not in nixpkgs;
• /overlays overlays for nixpkgs.

Machines use zfs where all data is shredded on boot unless stored (or sys linked) from /persist or /keep. /persist is intended to be backed up.
