 netpleb | i have been trying to setup simple-nixos-mailserver using flakes inside a declarative container. But the solution here https://discourse.nixos.org/t/add-extra-modules-in-declarative-nixos-containers/38107 keeps giving me an "infinite recursion encountered" error. | 21:02:03 |
| netpleb | and if I do not get the infinit recursion error, then I get an error "the option containers.mycontainername.mailserver" does not exist. There must be some trick I am missing.

hard to say without seeing the config. I do have a working mailserver using that project though, so if you can show how you're setting it up I can compare | 19:43:56 |

I finally got something mostly working and am trying to clean it up so I can share the config. | 03:57:27 |

 lxsameer | hey folks, what do you think about the idea of adding a new boolean property to the flake output like addRoot, and when nix will generate or update the lock file, is that property is set to true, then nix will add the directory containing the flake file as a root path to the nix store? | 16:52:51 |
| lxsameer | or to be exact, add necessary root paths to prevent the packages required by the flake outputs to be garbage collected. | 16:53:58 |

 @fractivore:cyberia.club | Are folks willing to engage with me on some Flakes misconception-shooting? | 17:53:06 |
| @fractivore:cyberia.club | "You don't really want to be using channels to do configuration if you're using Flakes" - true or false? Why? Any exceptions? | 17:53:38 |

"You don't really want to be using channels to do configuration if you're using Flakes" - true or false? Why? Any exceptions? um, I do not know any way to use channels with flakes, even if you wanted to | 18:12:26 |
| mewp | I mean, a flake will get nixpkgs from its inputs, giving it better reproducibility, because the nixpkgs version is pinned (as is the same with other inputs) | 18:13:24 |
| mewp | I'm not sure if I'm being clear on that. Does that help? | 18:14:48 |
| @fractivore:cyberia.club | Oh yeah that answers that question exactly, thanks very much! | 18:15:47 |
| @fractivore:cyberia.club | Trying to think of other Flakes questions I've had... I just wanted to double check that I hadn't misled anyone in the #nix:nixos.org channel | 18:16:16 |
