+  Could Nix and devenv replace Docker and Docker Compose for me in my Drupal projects?
+---
+
+I started using the Nix package manager [in September 2022][0] as a replacement for Ansible to manage my dotfiles.
+
+Since then, I've switched to daily-driving NixOS as my main operating system and started to use Nix instead of Docker for some development projects.
+
+Even though I'm running Linux, there's a benefit to not running containers for simple projects as well as the reproducibility that Nix provides.
+
+I hadn't invested much time in using Nix as Docker replacement for Drupal projects, but this week, I've started to look at [devenv][1] - a development tool based on Nix.
+
+As well as declaring and locking the package versions I need for each project, it also manages the services I need, such as PHP-FPM and MariaDB or MySQL.
+
+It also configures Git hooks, test scripts and custom processes, such as running Tailwind CSS.
+
+I've configured it for a few projects this week and it could be a potential Docker replacement for me.
+
+If you want to see an example, [see this repo on GitHub][2].
