### Working session: Architecture discussion
Attendees: Robert, Valentin, Koen, Kevin
- Robert: NixOps should handle backup creation and restore, since it knows all the details for that
- There will be an interface to plug Nix expressions with scripts that can access all the resources
- Once should be able to build domain-specific applications around that
- Valentin: Backups seem to be morally equivalent to deployments "to a file"
- Koen walked us through myprotagio.nl
- Kevin will share source code with Valentin
- It's a role-based-permission and billing UI wrapping PowerDNS, Postfix Admin, and InvoiceNinja
- Written in Laravel and Tailwind
- To build a UI for deployment we'd primarily need a REST API to a database
- Primary work would be to do the architecture and design
- Valentin: Maybe we could add just the APIs for the deployment workflows from a completely new service, and connect the front-end to that
- Won't have to touch the PHP then
- But for the full integration to work one will have to understand the whole system anyway
- At that point one may as well keep maintaining it or rewrite it
- Koen: The existing thing needs work regardless, and would like to move away from PHP to Python anyway
