 dmoonfire | raphi: Will that cause problems with my seven other x86-64 systems? I don't want to turn on binfmt for those. Right now, I have my laptop {x86), three homeland (x86), four remote (x86), and this new aarch64 (which will by x6 eventually). | 18:55:03 |
| dmoonfire | And slight knowlege gap for me, does the same package (like file-5.44l have a different hash for x86 verses aarch64? | 18:58:58 |
 raphi | oh, if you have target systems with different arches this wouldn't work, right | 19:12:57 |
| dmoonfire | Yeah, I'm mostly in the x86_64 world, just trying to play with Raspberry Pi. Is there is something I can do with colmena.meta.nodeNixpkgs that would let me build on the x86 but for the aarch? I can make a run that all building has to be done on a x86 build server. | 19:33:26 |
| dmoonfire | I'm also hoping to avoid cross compiling because Ceph takes ~6 hours to build normally. | 19:34:47 |
| dmoonfire | And I want to run Ceph on both the x86 servers and the aarch64. š | 19:35:34 |

 @mariosangiorgio:matrix.org | Hello, I have a noob question: I am running NixOS in a LXC container. If I run colmena apply my changes (I added nginx) are applied fine.
If I reboot the container I cannot see nginx any longer until I run colmena apply again.
The docs says that the detail deployment goal is switch, which as far as I understand should persist after a reboot.
Iām very likely missing something obvious but I need some help :) | 18:41:00 |

| dtracy | I am trying to pass the home-manager nixosModule onto a colmena deployed node using the colmena.meta.specialArgs.inputs parameter and setting it equal to the inputs, as described here: https://discourse.nixos.org/t/colmena-how-to-push-a-flake-input-into-the-individual-nodes/36332/2
I keep getting an error during deployment error: The option inputs does not exist. Definition values: ...
I really would love to use home-manager with colmena to deploy all of my machines configurations.
You can see how I set this up in the flake.nix and users/testUser.nix files: https://github.com/tracyde/nixos-config
I would also welcome feedback on how I am starting to configure things, new to the nix ecosystem.

| dtracy | dmoonfire: I would love your input as I got inspiration to try this from your previous post, how does what I have differ from what you have gotten to work? | 22:42:39 |
| 24 Jan 2024 |
| dmoonfire | I use `inputs @ { nixpkgs, ... }` a lot. That means inputs has everything plus they are destructured into individual inputs with the {}. | 00:53:48 |
| dmoonfire | You can also use { ... } @ bob if you prefer the @ at the end or want to use something other than "inputs" | 00:55:07 |
| dmoonfire | You can also use specialArgs= { home-manager = home-manage; } if you don't want to use the @ either. | 00:57:17 |
| dmoonfire | Nix, like Perl, has many ways to say the same thing. š | 00:57:37 |

| @mariosangiorgio:matrix.org | dtracy: did you manage to get home-manager work with Colmena? Is there any config I can have a look at? | 16:57:43 |
| @mariosangiorgio:matrix.org | I think I found my issue. To bring home-manager in scope I had to add inputs.home-manager.nixosModules.default to my import, similar to what you did to bring in sops.
Now everything builds fine, time to actually write some home manager configuration and see if it works | 22:37:30 |
