 sylex-matrix | wait | 22:22:44 |
| sylex-matrix | docker was just an example | 22:22:47 |
| sylex-matrix | maybe I phrased my problem wrong | 22:22:54 |
| sylex-matrix | the thing is, how do I tell colmena to execute some actions after the machine has been deployed? | 22:23:18 |
| sylex-matrix | maybe its just running
git clone x
cd blah blah
./run.sh | 22:23:37 |
| sylex-matrix | kind of like the RUNs of a dockerfile | 22:23:47 |
| Bonus | in theory you shouldn't since it's not "THE NIX WAY" | 22:23:53 |
| sylex-matrix | what would be the nix way then? | 22:24:09 |
| Bonus | in practice: system.activationScripts | 22:24:13 |
| sylex-matrix | I've been struggling pretty hard to learn the nix way | 22:24:19 |
| Bonus | colmena is just a wrapper for nix tools (copy closure via ssh, etc.) | 22:25:01 |
| Bonus | you want to execute something "after configuration switch" or "everytime you boot" | 22:27:02 |
| sylex-matrix | yeah, pretty much | 22:27:23 |
| Bonus | then try system.activationScripts | 22:28:46 |
| sylex-matrix | If my project was managed by a flake | 22:30:03 |
| sylex-matrix | would activation scripts be the simplest approach too? | 22:30:18 |
| sylex-matrix | lets say my project works by simply doing nix run | 22:30:35 |
| sylex-matrix | so actiationScripts = "cd fun; nix run"? | 22:30:56 |
| Bonus | I'm up to help you figure out stuff on private chat, we probably shouldn't send so many non-colmena related messages in this room | 22:31:58 |

 Jeff | anyone using pulumi/colmena/nixos? starting to think about replacing opentofu/terraform... | 17:52:23 |
 dantefromhell | In reply to @jeff:ocjtech.us
anyone using pulumi/colmena/nixos? starting to think about replacing opentofu/terraform... not using it but I'm very curious why you're pondering this setup? | 17:55:08 |
| Jeff | mainly terraform/opentofu has been annoying me lately so i wanted to see if the grass was greener 😉
| 17:57:25 |
| Jeff | Was hoping to get better integration between the two tools. I've got some Nix code to pull data from Terraform's state information but it's a pain to use. | 18:02:28 |
