 @ask-yourself:matrix.org | So everything would build remotely then push back to my machines, instead of anything being built on main workstation? | 09:17:18 |
 Linux Hackerman | No, where it's built is unrelated | 09:54:05 |
| Linux Hackerman | but if you set it up so that your user can SSH into your workstation as root, you can deploy your workstation as if it were a remote system. | 09:54:43 |
| Linux Hackerman | By default it will build everything on your workstation | 09:55:23 |
| Linux Hackerman | if you set deployment.buildOnTarget for a machine, or pass --build-on-target on the command line, it will instead build directly on the host that's being deployed (though in the case of your workstation it will still end up being built on your workstation because that's what's being deployed) | 09:57:02 |
| Linux Hackerman | but that's completely orthogonal to whether you deploy via SSH or locally | 09:57:57 |

| Linux Hackerman | That doesn't seem like a colmena-specific question, maybe try #nix:nixos.org | 14:22:59 |
| roshan | byteio.in 🌷 | im using colmena to deploy my docker container | 14:25:27 |
| Linux Hackerman | the nixos host containing the container right? | 14:25:45 |
| roshan | byteio.in 🌷 | docker container workiing fine in local | 14:25:53 |
| roshan | byteio.in 🌷 | In reply to @linus:schreibt.jetzt
the nixos host containing the container right? yes | 14:26:00 |
| Linux Hackerman | yeah this doesn't look like an issue with the deployment (which is colmena's job), but with the configuration | 14:26:39 |
| hexa changed their display name from hexa (22.11 now) to hexa. | 14:38:47 |

This makes a lot of sense, thank you. | 16:57:29 |
 Wanja Hentze | how are you folks coping with long NixOS eval times when using colmena? | 17:40:42 |
| Wanja Hentze | any practical tricks I can pull to make my hive eval faster? | 17:40:55 |
 Zhaofeng Li | Have you tried `--evaluator streaming`? It makes evaluation actually parallel using nix-eval-jobs. It's not the default yet but may be soon | 17:54:22 |
| @ask-yourself:matrix.org | I'm trying to switch to use doas instead of sudo, but I'm getting this:
.dotfiles on î‚ main [!+] ⊥ doas colmena apply-local
error: getting the HEAD of the Git tree '/home/isaac/.dotfiles' failed with exit code 1:
error: executing 'git': No such file or directory
(use '--show-trace' to show detailed location information)
thread 'main' panicked at 'called `Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value: ChildFailure { exit_code: 1 }', src/command/apply_local.rs:95:55
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace
I've tried adding deployment.privilegeEscalationCommand = ["doas"]; but still same result.

This is because nix tries to call git as part of the flake evaluation, and presumably it's not on PATH for root when using doas (maybe it is with sudo?) | 18:57:05 |
| Linux Hackerman | does just colmena apply-local work now? | 18:57:42 |
| Linux Hackerman | Because running the evaluation as your user makes sense | 18:57:50 |
| Linux Hackerman | In reply to @linus:schreibt.jetzt
does just colmena apply-local work now? as in, I think setting privilegeEscalationCommand should make it work | 18:58:16 |
