 Alexander | Hi there. Thanks for a great tool. I have a question. I need to deploy my nixos configuration to multiple devices. Usually I connect them to my local network and they got some dynamic IP. It is not very convenient to change deployment.targetHost for every new device. It would be nice to have a cli option for this. What do you think about the idea? | 20:40:15 |

 Zhaofeng Li | You can set nixpkgs.system for that specific node, see https://colmena.cli.rs/unstable/examples/multi-arch.html | 02:54:55 |
| Zhaofeng Li | I don't think this idea scales well for the common use case of deploying to many nodes at once. You can use mDNS .local hostnames or something like tailscale | 02:56:14 |

| Alexander | I do not suggest to replace a configuration option with a cli one. But to add a possibility to override deployment.targetHost. TBH I do not understand how mDNS or Tailscale could help me. I know an IP address of a device but I do not want to modify my configuration every time | 15:58:34 |
| Alexander | For example with ansible it is possible to override inventory with a cli option. Colmena also has a deployment.buildOnTarget configuration and a --build-on-target cli option which overrides it | 16:01:59 |
| Alexander | I did not explain that these devices do not stay in my local network. I just setup them and they should be installed in another place | 16:04:49 |
 f0x | you could write a simple bash wrapper script that takes an ip argument, sed's it into a template hive.nix and runs colmena? | 16:28:31 |
| Alexander | Everything is possible with sed))) | 16:55:22 |
