 Winter (she/her) | it has a newer Nix version | 05:13:57 |
 rendakuenthusiast | how do I do that? | 05:25:05 |
| Winter (she/her) | nix-channel --add https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-unstable-small nixpkgs && nix-channel --update | 05:30:16 |
| Winter (she/her) | you know better than me how to update Nix and such from that afterwards, though 😅 | 05:30:56 |
| Winter (she/her) | (hopefully) | 05:31:04 |
| rendakuenthusiast | ok I'll try that | 05:32:43 |
| rendakuenthusiast | what is nixos-unstable-small? I"ve never seen that before | 05:32:51 |
| rendakuenthusiast | anyway that did something | 05:32:57 |
| Winter (she/her) | cool. can you update Nix (again, i assume you've done this before, if you haven't let me know and i can scour the docs), make sure nix --version reports 2.10.3, and try to apply it again? | 05:35:34 |
| rendakuenthusiast | okay, I'm trying this again, and it seems to be taking longer and not crashing | 05:36:42 |
| rendakuenthusiast | I assume it's updating every single package somehow | 05:36:50 |
| rendakuenthusiast | so what maeks nixos-unstable-small different from nixos-unstable? | 05:38:50 |
 Buckley | the -small channels have a smaller set of prebuilt packages, and less tests are required to pass for the channel to move forward | 05:40:14 |
| Buckley | so the channel moves forward quicker | 05:40:33 |
| rendakuenthusiast | okay nevermind that failed | 05:41:04 |
| rendakuenthusiast | Activation failed: Child process exited with error code: 4

okay nevermind that failed well it didn't segfault at least! | 05:43:56 |
| rendakuenthusiast | okay if I try the deploy again and actually remove that stanza, it works | 05:46:52 |
| Winter (she/her) | which stanza? | 05:58:56 |
| rendakuenthusiast | the one with the vhost I was trying to get rid of | 07:24:44 |

| Christos Trochalakis | Hello! I am using colmena with flakes, is it possible to build node configurations with hydra (hydraJobs)? | 13:49:19 |

Hello! I am using colmena with flakes, is it possible to build node configurations with hydra (hydraJobs)? You may be able to wrap the node configurations back into nixosSystems. The Colmena flake exposes the deploymentOptions NixOS module so the deployment.* options still work. | 19:49:35 |

| rendakuenthusiast | another weird issue I'm running into | 04:55:45 |
| rendakuenthusiast | I wrote a helper function that woudl generate an nginx vhost set of the form { services.nginx.virtualHosts."hostname.example.com" = <nginx configuration> } | 04:56:34 |
| rendakuenthusiast | so that I could define the vhost for a service in the same module I define the service in | 04:56:58 |
| rendakuenthusiast | so I have my helper function return the above set, and then use \\ helperFunction { hostname="hostname"; } to merge it into the config set that was already being returned for each service I'm running | 04:57:32 |
| rendakuenthusiast | and this is causing existing configuration to stop appearing in ways I don't understand | 04:57:52 |
