dantefromhell	How can I troubleshooting connection issue during the `Waiting for reboot` phase when applying changes with `colmena apply switch --verbose --reboot`? the machine in question (raspberry pi) has successfully rebooted - I can SSH into it.	08:10:10

@yuka:yuka.dev	Hi, I'm running the following command `colmena build --nix-option builders "ssh-ng://... x86_64-linux - 16 16" --nix-option max-jobs 0 --nix-option builders-use-substitutes true` but everything is being built locally. what am I doing wrong?	10:29:56
@yuka:yuka.dev	(on 0.4.0-pre, 0.3.2 does not have `--nix-option`)	10:31:10
raphi	hm, `colmena build --nix-option max-jobs 0` is enough to reproduce this for me - it should always fail, but it does start building stuff	11:03:45
raphi	Download image.png	11:07:36
raphi	the option doesn't seem to get propagated to nix-store	11:07:45

thornAvery	Hello, im trying to import my configuration into colmena, and Im getting the following when running "colmena build", the same configuration builds when i lib.nixosSystem it and "nixos-rebuild build" it. error: You're trying to define a value of type `string' rather than an attribute set for the option `system'! This usually happens if `system' has option definitions inside that are not matched. Please check how to properly define this option by e.g. referring to `man 5 configuration.nix'! the stack trace is showing its happening in my configurations deployments attrset, but I dont really know enough information to go debugging from there. Is this some meta option I havent set properly?	06:31:02
thornAvery	(Please ignore I rubberducked myself out of it by sending this message, I had some stray configs in the wrong level)	06:35:20
David Arnold (blaggacao)	Hey! I know there have been ideas to generalize the activation package so that `colmena` can be a wrapper to any activation sequence (e.g. Home Manager, NixOS, Liminix). I now have another candidate, for which I'd be glad to make `colmena` my go-to tool: Mikrotik Routers managed with Nix	17:15:47
David Arnold (blaggacao)	Can a knowledgeable member point me to the current state of discussion / design thinking on this topic/generic feature?	17:16:26

colmena build --nix-option builders "ssh-ng://... x86_64-linux - 16 16" --nix-option max-jobs 0 --nix-option builders-use-substitutes true

but everything is being built locally. what am I doing wrong?
