Hey guys I have a question on autoupgrade, what does this actually do:

  system.autoUpgrade = {
    enable = true;
    allowReboot =  true;
    flake = inputs.self.outPath;
    flags = [ "--update-input" "nixpkgs" "--print-build-logs" ];
  };

Going by the description of system.autoUpgrade.flags, this will update the nixpkgs input to your system config flake.

If you are using flakes and use a local repo you can add [ "--update-input" "nixpkgs" "--commit-lock-file" ] to update nixpkgs.

Hi flake people. I am trying to follow the "make menuconfig" section of https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Linux_kernel but I do not know how to translate it to the world of flakes:

$ nix-shell -E 'with import <nixpkgs> {}; linux.overrideAttrs (o: {nativeBuildInputs=o.nativeBuildInputs ++ [ pkg-config ncurses ];})'
[nix-shell] $ unpackPhase && cd linux-*
[nix-shell] $ patchPhase
[nix-shell] $ make menuconfig

I did a bit of refactoring of my system and i switched my config over to

  outputs = { self, nixpkgs, ... }@inputs: {
    
    nixosConfigurations = {
      host1 = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
        specialArgs = { inherit inputs; };
        system = "x86_64-linux";
        modules = [ ./hosts/host1 ];
      };

instead of

modules = [ ./hosts/host1/configuration.nix ] ;

I renamed the file from configuration.nix to default.nix but when I try to build the flake it complains the file doesn't exist

   error: getting status of '/nix/store/mgakxblir0hipxmdd41xrspq7xzd4z1s-source/hosts/fed-gc/default.nix': No such file or directory

it's translating it properly from a folder to looking for default.nix why would it not think it's there?

That is what it prints with --verbose
