| lemmalamma | Hey folks! Happy Friday. Colmena's README says it's:
a thin wrapper over Nix commands like nix-instantiate and nix-copy-closure
What does the manual process with nix-instantiate and nix-copy-closure look like? What else is Colmena automating for me?

 Zhaofeng Li | It's basically nix-build '<nixpkgs/nixos>' --argstr configuration ..., nix-copy-closure --to root@remote /nix/store/...-nixos-system-remote and then running the activation script. In addition to those, Colmena provides a framework for accessing configurations of other nodes, out-of-band secrets deployment, and some other features | 22:19:10 |

I asked because I want to try to hand-deploy a few times so I can understand what's involved. | 03:10:41 |

 raitobezarius | how do we build locally with colmena? | 00:03:34 |
| raitobezarius | I'm trying | 00:03:35 |
| raitobezarius | colmena --nix-option builders "" apply-local --sudo --verbose with no avail | 00:03:38 |
| raitobezarius | ah it's probably not an option lol | 00:04:15 |
| Zhaofeng Li | Hmm, it should work | 00:04:53 |
| raitobezarius | I don't think it had success at least with me | 00:47:10 |
| raitobezarius | I am certain it always rebuild on remote builders | 00:47:18 |
| raitobezarius | like even --build-on-target will use my remote builders | 01:23:35 |
| raitobezarius | rightly though… | 01:23:40 |
| raitobezarius | ok the only cheat I found is passing an empty file to meta.machinesFile | 01:25:36 |
| Zhaofeng Li | Oh right, with machinesFile it might not compose | 03:08:13 |

 Winter (she/her) | i'm running into an issue where buildOnTarget shows "Building ..." and then just... does nothing. i can successfully SSH as the user i configured, and it works immediately if i purge all master sockets. but then it eventually gets into this weird state again. | 02:45:37 |
