That's fine with me. I will be running only 1 "customer" and
apache+php+mysql for it will run in a vm (or lxc).
It will just act as a backend/upstream application to the real webserver.

But even the module wasn't trivial to enable. But now, after a fresh
night of sleep, it might be easier :)

I know, but they don't run NixOS :)
And, as apache/php will be part of a bigger web-serving setup (as
backend process), I want to keep it internal.
