In reply to @dazai:matrix.org

in the flake tutorial it has this

colmena = {
  meta = {
    nixpkgs = import nixpkgs {
      system = "x86_64-linux";
      overlays = [];
    };
  };

meaning i have to change my flake depending what machine i'm deploying on, does that make sense?

interestimg issue 🤔
I might have a similar one when I get my rpis...

Essentially you would need to figure out the architecture of the system colmena/nix is running on and use that in the import statement.

      "${nix-bitcoin}/modules/modules.nix"
    ];```

Not right now, but I’m considering adding others to help

If I start reviewing stuff, will things get merged? I see some things I really want in the project, and this is not my first time maintaining a rust project (or a deployment tool, I'm currently a maintainer of morph as well).

Hi, can anyone provide me a full working example of a colmena hive.nix for deploying a single host? Unfortunately, the documentation hasn't been of much help since it doesn't describe which flake to use for a host, etc.

Currently my hive.nix is this:

{
  # description = "A NixOS configuration using Flakes";

  inputs = { nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable"; };
  outputs = { self, nixpkgs, ... }:
    let
      system = "x86_64-linux";
      pkgs = import nixpkgs { inherit system; };
    in {
      # packages.${system} = { default = pkgs.callPackage ./default.nix { }; };
      colmena = {
        meta = {
          nixpkgs = import nixpkgs {
            system = "x86_64-linux";
            overlays = [ ];
          };
        };
        # nixosConfigurations = {
        andromeda = {
          system = "x86_64-linux";
          imports = [ ./hosts/andromeda/andromeda.nix ];
          deployment.targetHost = "andromeda";
        };
        # };
      };
    };
}

Which gives me errors:
