 Buckley | Because nix invites the user to jump into the whole stack and mess around :o | 13:05:35 |
 CRTified | Interesting. I'm currently not at home and tried apply-local for the first time to update my laptop. It fails and claims my machine isn't a NixOS machine 🤔 | 13:48:31 |
 Zhaofeng Li | Which versions of nixpkgs and Colmena? It doesn't look like they changed the format of /etc/os-release again | 18:59:04 |

 Jane Jasperous | hi, im configuring my systems using colmente to deploy in my network. I'd like to have some machines running 21.11 others 22.05 other unstable. I get working this for packages, but not for full nixos system (modules,...) | 12:27:06 |

i expected declare machines as server1 = inputs.nixpkgs-2205.lib.nixosSystem { (...) to work You don't need lib.nixosSystem for colmena, just the config | 15:01:51 |
| phaer | server1 = inputs.nixpkgs-2205.lib.nixosSystem { (...) }.config could also work, i think? But haven't tested this | 15:03:21 |

server1 = inputs.nixpkgs-2205.lib.nixosSystem { (...) }.config could also work, i think? But haven't tested this Kind of - I'm using such a shim to use nixosConfigurations and colmena together: https://github.com/zhaofengli/colmena/issues/60#issuecomment-1047199551 | 15:04:14 |
| phaer | Ah, good to know. I personally just keep my stuff in the nixosModules output of my flake and can then put them into colmena configs for hosts I deploy with colmena or nixosConfigurations as needed | 15:05:44 |
| Jane Jasperous | Effectively im using colmena + nixos-rebuild | 19:57:00 |
| Jane Jasperous | In reply to @phaer:matrix.org
You don't need lib.nixosSystem for colmena, just the config ok that work locally with nixos-rebuild. This piece of code fails becuase overwrite nixpkgs-2205 for nixpkgs | 21:43:00 |
| Jane Jasperous | colmena = {
meta = {
nixpkgs = import nixpkgs { system = "x86_64-linux"; };
specialArgs = { inherit inputs; };
};
} // builtins.mapAttrs (name: value: {
nixpkgs.system = value.config.nixpkgs.system;
imports = value._module.args.modules;
}) (self.nixosConfigurations);

ok server1 = inputs.nixpkgs-2205.lib.nixosSystem { (...) } works locally with nixos-rebuild. This piece of code makes colmena overwrite nixpkgs-2205 for nixpkgs For that to work, you'll likely also need to use nodeNixpkgs as described in the colmena manual | 22:59:32 |

| Jane Jasperous | In reply to @schnecfk:ruhr-uni-bochum.de
For that to work, you'll likely also need to use nodeNixpkgs as described in the colmena manual of course, that works. but duplicate code. Could be interesting colmena accepts nixosSystem.config as is | 08:39:52 |
| CRTified | Maybe I can change my shim a bit 🤔 Might be non-ideal. For example: nodeNixpkgs could probably be populated from nixosConfigurations.hostname.pkgs | 09:10:59 |

colmena | where tag = oakland | each { |it| ^comena deploy ($it.fragment) }

 aanderse | any way to increase debug/error logging for the deployment.keys options? i'm not getting much and i don't know what i'm doing wrong | 20:27:15 |
| aanderse | using keyCommand, btw | 20:27:33 |
| Zhaofeng Li | -v is as far as it can get at the moment, and it should dump stderr from the keyCommand when it fails | 20:53:35 |
| aanderse | ok thanks
i haven't confirmed yet (and my rust-fu isn't good enough to tell simply by looking at the code) but there may be a tiny bug with deployments.keys.<name>.name when <name> and name don't match in the chown
relevant snippets: https://github.com/zhaofengli/colmena/blob/429a0f5aa1d1bac06234e2f0c02d5b63a850d940/src/nix/host/ssh.rs#L289 and https://github.com/zhaofengli/colmena/blob/abb74b9f495a218824c415a7d7cfca88a6c54e7b/src/nix/host/key_uploader.template.sh#L19
feel free to ignore this so i'm forced to level up my rust game and verify+fix this myself
