 David Arnold (blaggacao) | * Zhaofeng Li: I think there is an opportunity (soonish) to incorporate disko into your install.sh:
https://github.com/divnix/hive/blob/73b486d8d2b5545c6b0bb250324f060afeed6448/comb/lina2358/hardwareProfiles.nix#L4-L6
The crate and/or mount script can be currently run with:
nix run github:blaggacao/disko/modules --no-write-lock-file -- -f github:divnix/hive?ref=green/lina comb/lina2358/hardwareProfiles/lavinox/disko-config.nix -m [mount|create]
Just wanted to report on the current status, fysa. Upstream is working on the module branch and things should stabilize soon and look nicer 😃

| mel (they/them) | Hi, I'm trying to convert a set of configs in a flake that all use lib.nixosSystem. I'd like to do them one by one, and keep outputs.nixosConfigurations as is for a bit.
Is it possible to use the result of nixosSystem with colmena? | 16:05:40 |

Hi, I'm trying to convert a set of configs in a flake that all use lib.nixosSystem. I'd like to do them one by one, and keep outputs.nixosConfigurations as is for a bit.
Is it possible to use the result of nixosSystem with colmena? There's an adapter in https://github.com/zhaofengli/colmena/issues/60 | 20:02:21 |
| mel (they/them) | Thanks, somehow missed that! | 20:07:31 |
| 12 Nov 2022 |
 aanderse | am i missing some easy way to get output from colmena exec? might be nice if there were a --json flag that returns the output from each machine after being run... or some sort of way to get output easily | 18:33:14 |
| Zhaofeng Li | Currently there's no clean way. You could use -v and strip out the prefixes but the output format isn't considered stable. I agree that a --json output (either streaming or one JSON at the end) would be a nice thing to have. | 21:46:16 |

 @yuka:yuka.dev | there were multiple efforts to support non-NixOS targets | 16:23:31 |
| @yuka:yuka.dev | I would really support it if the actual deployment commands/logic for NixOS and non-NixOS was just part of a NixOS module system thing | 16:23:57 |
| @yuka:yuka.dev | So that the cli is a dumb task runner | 16:24:04 |
| @yuka:yuka.dev | basically a parallel version of nix run .#nixosConfigurations.xyz.config.system.build.deployScript | 16:24:27 |
| @yuka:yuka.dev | And nix-darwin or nixos containers or completely custom targets can set this deployScript option in their nixos module system to override what happens on a deployment | 16:24:56 |

| Chinchilla Washington | Colmena is throwing this error message when I try to deploy a flake:
[ERROR] stderr) Failed assertions:
[ERROR] stderr) - The ‘fileSystems’ option does not specify your root file system.
[ERROR] stderr) - You must set the option ‘boot.loader.grub.devices’ or 'boot.loader.grub.mirroredBoots' to make the system bootable.
But the root filesystem is specified. I tried setting it directly in the colmena block like git shows and it's still complaining
| 04:51:24 |
| Chinchilla Washington | just switching my flake directly works fine | 04:52:29 |
| Chinchilla Washington | Any ideas? | 04:52:32 |
| Zhaofeng Li | What does the config look like? | 05:34:10 |
