@plg:matrix.orgmel (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

There's an adapter in https://github.com/zhaofengli/colmena/issues/60 		20:02:21
@plg:matrix.orgmel (they/them)Thanks, somehow missed that!20:07:31

@aanderse:nixos.devaanderse 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:zhaofeng.liZhaofeng 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@yuka:yuka.devthere were multiple efforts to support non-NixOS targets16:23:31
@yuka:yuka.dev@yuka:yuka.devI would really support it if the actual deployment commands/logic for NixOS and non-NixOS was just part of a NixOS module system thing16:23:57
@yuka:yuka.dev@yuka:yuka.devSo that the cli is a dumb task runner16:24:04
@yuka:yuka.dev@yuka:yuka.dev basically a parallel version of nix run .#nixosConfigurations.xyz.config.system.build.deployScript 16:24:27
@yuka:yuka.dev@yuka:yuka.devAnd 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 deployment16:24:56

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
