 ====== NixOS Impermanence ======
-<note warning>
-This is a work in progress, impermanence is available only on staging (node1.stg)
-</note>
 This page describes usage of [[https://github.com/nix-community/impermanence|NixOS Impermanence]] module
-at vpsFree.cz.
+at vpsFree.cz. We support impermanence with root filesystem in a temporary ZFS dataset that is
+provided by our platform. It is necessary to move the Nix store to a subdataset, which can be
+done automatically [[#using_os_template|using the OS template for impermanence]], or you can
+set it up [[#manual_configuration|manually]].
+Please note that when you enable impermanence, the root file system is indeed temporary
+and its data reset on each VPS start. The temporary dataset also isn't backed up. Be mindful
+of where you store your data. If it isn't in a persistent location, it will be lost.
