@clara_bnuuy:matrix.orgclaraHi! I'm trying to evaluate the colmena hosts from a flake, but I'm running into some issues. My goal is to have a JSON with nodes & their configs. I tried to run `colmena eval -E "{ nodes, ... }: nodes --experimental-flake-eval`, but ran into issues since it's trying to serialize a function into JSON. I ran into https://github.com/zhaofengli/colmena/issues/43 which seems to indicate what I'm looking for is not possible, but I was wondering if anyone knew of a way.13:58:07

Hey folks,

Does anybody have a nice example of how to organize a repo with code for both initialising new host (e.g. with nixos-anywhere) and provisioning with colmena afterwards?

I built mine with terranix and divnix/hive.
Might be slightly over engineered but I have a need for maintaining multiple environments at once. so the overengineering helps 🤣

The simple way is: have a "blank" nixosConfiguration in your flake that contains a simplified basic installation, run nixos-anywhere, then deploy as a specific host via colmena

@dantefromhell:matrix.orgdantefromhellsince you can point nixos-anywhere to install a specific nixosConfiguration I'm skipping the generic installer config and install the full system closure immediately12:02:51

@ixxie:matrix.orgixxieI'd love to see examples of how people organize a deployment with nixos-anywhere + colmena in practice21:00:42

sry code is still in a big rewrite, not public.
happen to answer particular questions though 👍
