Thank you, you reassured me quite a bit. I’ll have a good read of the manual. It is not really a build server, it’s a compute server. I’ll have users installing hundreds of different software packages, most of them using incompatible libraries and thus I was thinking of using Nix. Alternatives would be LMOD, which however requires the administrator to install very single piece of software, which… We don’t really have a dedicated system administrator and I don’t really want to go through the compilation instructions of every single piece of software we use. Alternatively everyone could compile their own software or install it through something like conda, but that eats up a lot of storage space since every library would be duplicated across users.
