 David Arnold (blaggacao) | ^^ this makes a CLI driven workflow to get your USB ready a tiny bit less cumbersome... | 21:11:44 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | How often do you do that? And when you do, do you remember all the command to reliably select the right device, etc?
I think that tool comes in really handy... | 21:12:21 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | Pretty cool:
hive on main [?]
❯ writedisk ./result/iso/bootstrap-hive-from-queen-22.05pre-git-x86_64-linux.isonixos.iso
0: [/dev/sda] SanDisk Firebird USB Flash Drive 4C532000040120104094

You can now burn it to a USB with the following command:

| mel (they/them) | Hi, I'm trying to convert a set of configs in a flake that all use lib.nixosSystem. I'd like to do them one by one, and keep outputs.nixosConfigurations as is for a bit.
Is it possible to use the result of nixosSystem with colmena? | 16:05:40 |

Is it possible to use the result of nixosSystem with colmena? There's an adapter in https://github.com/zhaofengli/colmena/issues/60 | 20:02:21 |
| mel (they/them) | Thanks, somehow missed that! | 20:07:31 |
| 12 Nov 2022 |
 aanderse | am i missing some easy way to get output from colmena exec? might be nice if there were a --json flag that returns the output from each machine after being run... or some sort of way to get output easily | 18:33:14 |
| Zhaofeng Li | Currently there's no clean way. You could use -v and strip out the prefixes but the output format isn't considered stable. I agree that a --json output (either streaming or one JSON at the end) would be a nice thing to have. | 21:46:16 |
| 16 Nov 2022 |
 @yuka:yuka.dev | there were multiple efforts to support non-NixOS targets | 16:23:31 |
| @yuka:yuka.dev | I would really support it if the actual deployment commands/logic for NixOS and non-NixOS was just part of a NixOS module system thing | 16:23:57 |
| @yuka:yuka.dev | So that the cli is a dumb task runner | 16:24:04 |
| @yuka:yuka.dev | basically a parallel version of nix run .#nixosConfigurations.xyz.config.system.build.deployScript | 16:24:27 |
