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 🤔

Any help/advice/guidance is much appreciated 🙏

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 🍻
