you can also mix colmena nodes and your "vanilla" lib.nixosSystem in nixosConfigurations that way (for use with nixos-rebuild):

https://git.geklaute.cloud/emilylange/nixos-config/src/commit/22570786b24b606484447bef7a29fe565d475db7/flake.nix#L48-L76

Does that mean not all the machines will be built with colmena build if i take our the following lines No hosts are selected? how are the machines ryzen and frameless uses? nisos-rebuild?

@polygon:catgirl.cloudUnit 1721344 [polygon] (it/its, es/ihr)hey there14:54:21
@polygon:catgirl.cloudUnit 1721344 [polygon] (it/its, es/ihr)i believe with nixops it was possible to basically "hijack" a system not running nixos yet? as in using the "copy" deployment method14:54:49
@polygon:catgirl.cloudUnit 1721344 [polygon] (it/its, es/ihr)is that possible with colmena?14:54:54
@polygon:catgirl.cloudUnit 1721344 [polygon] (it/its, es/ihr)given there is ssh access with root privileges14:55:07
@ajs124:ajs124.deajs124 are you maybe thinking of the NIXOS_LUSTRATE feature?
that's a NixOS feature that can have support in the deployment tooling but should also sort of work without it.
14:56:37
@polygon:catgirl.cloudUnit 1721344 [polygon] (it/its, es/ihr)no i don't know if i am totally hanging but i'm thinking more of a scenario where you have a server that's running some OS, let's say Debian, and you just go and deploy a nixos config onto it and it results in a NixOs system14:59:26
@polygon:catgirl.cloudUnit 1721344 [polygon] (it/its, es/ihr)the more i think about it the more i believe i am just delusional right now14:59:42
@ajs124:ajs124.deajs124 but you can do that with NIXOS_LUSTRATE, no? 15:00:32

the more i think about it the more i believe i am just delusional right now
no no, there are various ways/projects that achieve that

@janik0:matrix.orgJanik (they/them)What is the current state of things for adding more platform support? I think I saw some messages regarding it some time ago but don't exactly remember.00:18:01

the most common one is nixos-anywhere I believe, but there is also some others like nixos-infect. There is also a issue in the colmena repo about this feature https://github.com/zhaofengli/colmena/issues/148

out of scope for this room perhaps, in general there are many ways with varying levels of customizability / if and how you keep the previous installation and their files in tact
