I'm getting Failed to upload keys: I/O Error: No such file or directory (os error 2) when I try to upload keys. The key block is:

          deployment = {
            keys."myservice.secret" = {
              keyFile = /full/path/to/secrets/myservice.secret;
              uploadAt = "pre-activation";
            };
          };

Am I doing something obviously stupid? File is in the ./secrets dir by the flake, and owned by the same user

Yeah, on non-NixOS hosts the Nix binaries aren't in the PATH set up by sshd/pam. It's a long-standing issue: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/1078

Hi! I'm new to NixOS, but want to try out Colmena as a means to set up some computers in my home. One of them is a Microsoft Surface Pro 3, which needs <nixos-hardware/microsoft/surface-pro/3> to function properly. However, I'm struggling to use that with Colmena.

What I have now is something like this:

flake.nix
machines

• surface-configuration.nix
• surface-hardware-configuration.nix

In flake.nix:

inputs = { nixpkg.s.url = ... };

outputs = {nixpkgs, ...} : {
  colmena = {
    meta = // default from examples
    
  surface = {name, nodes, pkgs, ... } : {
    deployment = { targetHost = name; targetUser="nixos"; };
    networking.hostName = name;
    imports = [
      <nixos-hardware/microsoft/surface-pro/3>
      ./machines/surface-configuration.nix
    ]
  };
};

And machines/surface-configuration.nix is the /etc/nixos/configuration.nix file copied from the surface after a fresh install. It, in turn, imports machines/surface-hardware-configuration.nix, which I've also left as default.
