thornAvery	Hello, im trying to import my configuration into colmena, and Im getting the following when running "colmena build", the same configuration builds when i lib.nixosSystem it and "nixos-rebuild build" it. error: You're trying to define a value of type `string' rather than an attribute set for the option `system'! This usually happens if `system' has option definitions inside that are not matched. Please check how to properly define this option by e.g. referring to `man 5 configuration.nix'! the stack trace is showing its happening in my configurations deployments attrset, but I dont really know enough information to go debugging from there. Is this some meta option I havent set properly?	06:31:02
thornAvery	(Please ignore I rubberducked myself out of it by sending this message, I had some stray configs in the wrong level)	06:35:20
@blaggacao:matrix.org	Hey! I know there have been ideas to generalize the activation package so that `colmena` can be a wrapper to any activation sequence (e.g. Home Manager, NixOS, Liminix). I now have another candidate, for which I'd be glad to make `colmena` my go-to tool: Mikrotik Routers managed with Nix	17:15:47
@blaggacao:matrix.org	Can a knowledgeable member point me to the current state of discussion / design thinking on this topic/generic feature?	17:16:26

@sumner:nevarro.space	I'm having trouble with running a systemd service that reads from a secret that I uploaded via colmena. I uploaded the secret and set the user and group to `msclinkbot` and I am using the same user and group for the systemd service. But I get `permission denied` whenever I try to access that file (even if just via `cat /run/keys/mscbot_password`. Does anyone have suggestions for what could be going wrong?	17:22:53
hexa	needs more details	17:44:39
hexa	stat on the secret	17:44:44
hexa	and ideally the systemd unit	17:44:47
hexa	and you could try if the user used in the unit can stat the secret	17:45:10
hexa	and if it cannot, try to `ls` the directory above	17:45:22

Hello, im trying to import my configuration into colmena, and Im getting the following when running "colmena build", the same configuration builds when i lib.nixosSystem it and "nixos-rebuild build" it.

 error: You're trying to define a value of type `string'
       rather than an attribute set for the option
       `system'!

       This usually happens if `system' has option
       definitions inside that are not matched. Please check how to properly define
       this option by e.g. referring to `man 5 configuration.nix'!

the stack trace is showing its happening in my configurations deployments attrset, but I dont really know enough information to go debugging from there. Is this some meta option I havent set properly?

(Please ignore I rubberducked myself out of it by sending this message, I had some stray configs in the wrong level)

Hey! I know there have been ideas to generalize the activation package so that colmena can be a wrapper to any activation sequence (e.g. Home Manager, NixOS, Liminix).

I now have another candidate, for which I'd be glad to make colmena my go-to tool: Mikrotik Routers managed with Nix

Can a knowledgeable member point me to the current state of discussion / design thinking on this topic/generic feature?

I'm having trouble with running a systemd service that reads from a secret that I uploaded via colmena. I uploaded the secret and set the user and group to msclinkbot and I am using the same user and group for the systemd service. But I get permission denied whenever I try to access that file (even if just via cat /run/keys/mscbot_password. Does anyone have suggestions for what could be going wrong?
