Please use list-units to also see inactive ones, then check its status. From the module I can't see wether its meant to be oneshot or whtever else, though it has a Restart of "no", which is weird in my opinion… Ok, here is the output: | 17:21:59 |

Also I can't find a way to build the system closure directly using nix build :( Yeah, I do everything with Colmena cause it lets me work on my local and remote systems in the same way. But it's proving to make it difficult for others to help. | 17:23:01 |
 @NobbZ:matrix.org | Looking at that list, I would say you called your keyboard "options" | 17:23:36 |
| @NobbZ:matrix.org | Please check the status of kmonad-options.service (it is running) And if you have currently changes that are not yet active, please restart the service and tell us if then the changes get applied. | 17:25:27 |
| @NobbZ:matrix.org | (I will actually start playing with KMonad on my systems soonish, as it might solve some problems I currently have even with my Moonlander, as there are simply things that are not perfect still, and it behaves differently between Mac and Linux) | 17:26:46 |

Yes, if I make some changes and they don't take effect, restarting that service makes them take effect. | 17:30:03 |
| @ask-yourself:matrix.org | Interesting. | 17:30:11 |
| @ask-yourself:matrix.org | I still think there is something weird about the behaviour I'm getting, it seems like something is wrong. But this does give me a good way to work on it w/o having to restart constantly. | 17:33:00 |
| @NobbZ:matrix.org | So either the nixos activation or colmena do something weird. Usually changed services should be restarted. Therefore I'd like to know if it would work reliably using nixos-rebuild switch or test | 17:55:43 |
| @ask-yourself:matrix.org | Yeah, if this keeps being a problem I'm gonna find a way to add a normal build to my config for debugging purposes. | 17:56:46 |
| @ask-yourself:matrix.org | I'd be curisou to get to the bottom of this. | 17:56:58 |
| @ask-yourself:matrix.org | * I'd be curious to get to the bottom of this. | 17:57:08 |
| @NobbZ:matrix.org | Okay, colmena built from master has a --nix-option, so I am building right now. | 18:08:19 |
| @ask-yourself:matrix.org | Did it reveal anything interesting or nah? | 19:14:49 |
| @NobbZ:matrix.org | Nope. From there everything looks as I would expect it | 19:15:47 |
| @ask-yourself:matrix.org | Hm, ok. If you ever find out in the course of your own exploration of KMonad feel free to tag me. I'd be curious. | 19:27:17 |

 raitobezarius | do colmena allow to copy the nix exprs on the target so I can still run local deployment there? | 23:14:05 |
| raitobezarius | (some sort of "local deployments" by default setup) | 23:14:13 |

| @ask-yourself:matrix.org | How can I apply all my systems at once if I have to sudo colmena apply-local for local system and colmena apply --on x for remote systems? If I just run colmena apply then the local system will fail cause no sudo. I could tag the nodes and build everything but the local system, but that seems inferior to building all at once. Anybody know how to resolve this? | 00:59:54 |
 @linus:schreibt.jetzt | I deploy my laptop via SSH too | 01:00:21 |
| @ask-yourself:matrix.org | Yeahhh.. I really want to know how to do it all in one step. Would make life easier. | 01:39:01 |
| @linus:schreibt.jetzt | Yeah I do it all in one step | 08:20:50 |
| @linus:schreibt.jetzt | By deploying my laptop via SH | 08:20:55 |
| @linus:schreibt.jetzt | * By deploying my laptop via SSH | 08:21:06 |
| @linus:schreibt.jetzt | So `colmena apply` will build all the configs and deploy them via SSH, even to the laptop it's running on | 08:21:37 |
| @linus:schreibt.jetzt | (And it SSHes in as root) | 08:22:33 |

do colmena allow to copy the nix exprs on the target so I can still run local deployment there? Copying expressions themselves can be a bit tricky to do cleanly. As an alternative, Colmena can deploy directly from a remote Flake URI like github:.
