In reply to @buckley310:matrix.orgThis is not documented yet right? I'm happy to open a quick PR to include this info | 18:05:15 | |
| I seem to recall finding it in some documentation somewhere, but I’m not totally sure | 18:08:02 | |
| I’ve been in the codebase so can’t say for sure | 18:08:18 | |
In reply to @buckley310:matrix.orgOK. I'll check. Thanks | 18:08:43 | |

In reply to @huyage:matrix.orgThanks for the pointer, I'm not sure if that will work because I don't think the service restarts since it only checks for existence and not modification in ${secret}-key.path but I'll test around a little | 10:14:04 | |
In reply to @kritnich:kritni.chWasn't the reason for having a service unit instead of a path unit to be explicitly able to monitor for changes? | 11:37:34 | |
| Oh no, it only monitors for deletion https://github.com/zhaofengli/colmena/blob/main/src/nix/hive/modules.nix#L85-L93 | 11:39:09 | |
In reply to @kritnich:kritni.chOh you meant edit to the key after it has been deployed. My problem was the service would not restart after colmena apply with a new key. Systemd PartOf is how I solved that. | 16:22:11 | |

Zhaofeng Li: std, which - as you know & even if one might disagree - doesn't really tolerate non-std flake schemata is gaining traction. A native colmena deployment clade is increasingly a topic among its users. I rebased the eval.nix "simplification", which is indeed pure cosmetics, but might be a stepping stone in agreeing in a semi-public interface to decouple the value added of colmena from it's flake-frameworkish part. | 20:52:32 | |

If it's an argument,think about that in certain (big) monorepo scenarios, the flake.nix is too much of a precious space so that it cannot accomodate NxM flake-based frameworks, but only one. | 21:07:11 | |

| Hi folks! I'm new to colmena and I like that it seems well maintained, fast, flake-oriented, easy and stateless. Cool! However, regarding the stateless part, I like it because I actually keep state elsewhere: in Terraform. Until today, I got wired a Terraform output with a one-line Ansible dynamic inventory script and it has worked very nice until now: terraform generates the inventory and Ansible consumes it and applies roles. Moving to Colmena means dumping Ansible. How can I feed a dynamic inventory into Colmena? Does it have such concept? Or maybe I'm misunderstanding something... | 11:07:08 | |
If you can use JSON as terraform output, you could try using builtins.fromJSON to generate your system configs "on the fly". That's probably more on the nix-side than on the colmena one | 11:09:23 | |
| At least that's what I'd probably do (but I do not use terraform, so my understanding of that part might be a bit limited) | 11:09:51 | |
| Yes, that was my initial thought. I'm just wondering if the pure nature of flakes will just build that script once and never execute it again. 🤔 | 11:11:26 | |
| It'd be an IFD in any case, I hope also that's no problem | 11:11:45 | |
| let me do some tests | 11:11:58 | |
| So right now I'd imagine a workflow similar to:

| Please correct me if that is wrong 😄 | 11:14:32 | |
