Now I'm on to 'home manager never worked on 22.05' but that's out of colmena territory

Migrating 10k+ line config to flakes has been brutal to me. Nixos is already black magic enough on it's own

Hey there, I was redirected here after asking in Matrix Disocrd #general.

So I've got all my machines set up with Colmena. I can build the config for any machine locally on said machine with colmena apply-local, however I'm having trouble pushing a build from my main machine to my laptop. I've set up an ssh key, so I can ssh into my laptop with ssh isaac@localip with no password. But when I run sudo colmena apply --to laptop from my main PC, I get this:

❯ sudo colmena apply --on laptop
[sudo] password for isaac:

Could anyone clarify how to fix this? My one buddy somehow got it working with SOPS but IDK really what to do.

So that I have tried:

      laptop = {
        deployment = {
          allowLocalDeployment = true;
          tags = ["laptop"];
          targetUser = "isaac";
          targetHost = "10.0.0.22";
        };

        imports = [
          ./nixos/laptop
          home-manager.nixosModules.home-manager
          {
            home-manager = {
              extraSpecialArgs = {
                inherit user;
              };
              useGlobalPkgs = true;
              users.${user} = {
                imports = [(import ./nixos/laptop/home-manager.nix)];
              };
              useUserPackages = true;
            };
          }
        ];
      };
