 dramforever | wonder if anyone else uses git+https flake input for nixpkgs | 01:50:06 |
| dramforever | incremental updates are so much faster | 01:50:23 |
| dramforever | on the other hand seems to nix substitute flake input fetches | 01:53:28 |
| dramforever | so that's still one download | 01:53:34 |
| dramforever | * so that's still one download whenever it does get gc'd | 01:53:41 |
| dramforever | but that's easy to work around, just hold on to it in the system closure or something (which by default the flake registry thing already does yay) | 01:54:03 |

 @dminca:matrix.org | hi 👋 I’ve got this setup currently https://github.com/dminca/nix-config and I’m confused if I run “nix run” on “MLGERHL6W4P2RXH” host, package “discord” is being built even though it’s not included in this “home.nix” https://github.com/dminca/nix-config/blob/main/hosts/MLGERHL6W4P2RXH/home.nix
rather, that’s coming from host “ZionProxy” https://github.com/dminca/nix-config/blob/9685d2ac4f4e126f3e63aea145c3ec7c60092f6e/hosts/ZionProxy/home.nix#L24
Perhaps I don’t understand how this whole flake is constructed and fed to Nix, but to my understanding if I’m importing a specific config in a host, it should ignore compiling the rest of the stuff, am I right or … ? In addition, how can I prevent this from happening, I don’t want to wait to compile everything and then just install whatever’s targetted for that specific host 🤔
Thank you for your patience 🙏

your apply-configurations script depends on both configurations | 12:18:01 |
| dramforever | so when you nix run the script both gets built | 12:18:20 |
| dramforever | i'd say consider calling home-manager and darwin-rebuild without the path. it's just a convenience script - no need to make it depend on the configs themselves | 12:19:23 |
| dramforever | also check out https://github.com/nix-community/nh for a possibly more convenient helper | 12:19:48 |
| @dminca:matrix.org | ohhh it makes sense 🤔 never thought doing it that way might cause this behavior. Thanks so much!
Will look into nh as well to get a better grasp of it, thanks for sharing 🍻
