I have not worked with Nix when I did this, it had a cross-compiling context which needed patches for some targets I've managed to get it to build using this trick, and the build goes through but instead it fails later: https://discourse.nixos.org/t/building-golang-tool-with-dependency-in-private-repo/56797 | 20:09:57 |

| rhelmot | There must be something I'm not understanding about flake inputs - why does nix build github:Ma27/hydra/nix-perl-bindings-with-bugfix#hydra work perfectly, but nix build . with the following flake break with eval errors?
{
inputs = {
hydra.url = "github:Ma27/hydra/nix-perl-bindings-with-bugfix";
};
outputs = { hydra, ... }: {
packages.x86_64-linux.default = hydra.packages.x86_64-linux.hydra;
};
}
| 04:37:49 |
| rhelmot | if I had to guess, it's using nixpkgs from my flake registry which is too far out of sync to build. How can I make it use the locked inputs from my dependency? | 04:38:32 |
 Sandro 🐧 | it should be by default using the locked ones | 10:43:43 |
| Sandro 🐧 | you can check that with nix flake metadata | 10:43:49 |
| Sandro 🐧 | it could be that the flake.lock was not updated accordingly when changing inputs. Try nix flake update | 10:44:17 |

 mwoodpatrickmx | I use a nix flake to rebuild my NixOS configuration which includes a configuration for Nginx. When I run:
sudo nixos-rebuild -v test
I don't see the generated nginx configuration file (nginx.conf) in the generated result directory:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 85 Dec 7 08:54 result -> /nix/store/xdc1ayh50k13x2mlk9199x4k88a10cds-nixos-system-nixos-24.11.20241203.b681065
What am I missing and how can I find the version that was built? | 20:17:01 |
| shawn8901 | Where exactly do you look for the nginx.conf? It is not placed at /etc/nginx, but inside the /nix/store directly. When you look for the systemd unit, there should be referenced as passed via -c | 20:28:02 |

| mwoodpatrickmx | I can search the nix store and do find multiple versions of the file but since all dates in the nix store are the same how do I find the latest version generated. How does the nginx server determine the correct version to use. I was assuming that there would be a symbolic link pointing to the latest version from somewhere in the result directory generated by the rebuild. | 20:38:23 |
| shawn8901 | the systemd unit gets rebuild when the config changes. | 20:54:33 |
| shawn8901 | and it contains a reload config directive when the config file changes AFAIK | 20:58:26 |
| mwoodpatrickmx | Is this documented somewhere along with how to use this to determine my latest version of my nginx config file | 21:17:40 |
| shawn8901 | i am not aware of that, to check the latest used i check the systemd unit with systemctl cat nginx | 21:19:53 |
