 Zhaofeng Li | It can be something like
(pkgs.writeShellScriptBin "nixos-rebuild" ''
>&2 echo "This machine is managed by Colmena."
exit 1
'')
(you may need to tweak its meta.priority otherwise it can conflict with the original one) | 01:47:02 |
 @rendakuenthusiast:imperishable.name | do you do this yourself? | 02:13:19 |
| Zhaofeng Li | No, I don't but my newer nodes don't even have /etc/nixos anymore since I complete the initial installation remotely from Colmena as well. | 02:15:38 |
| @rendakuenthusiast:imperishable.name | oh how does that work? | 02:15:50 |
| Zhaofeng Li | I use this script: https://gist.github.com/zhaofengli/e986fa7688d6c16872b86c6ae6215c9b | 02:16:38 |

 Wanja Hentze | rendakuenthusiast: I have the following in a module imported by every host in the hive:
environment.etc."nixos/configuration.nix".text = ''
throw '''
This machine is not managed by nixos-rebuild, but by colmena.
'''
'';

 David Arnold (blaggacao) | I've been tinkering around with a module that would expose a live usb on mdns or a foxe IP6 | 18:23:27 |

| David Arnold (blaggacao) | Need to test this again with colmena and the current setup this weekend. Maybe there's a nice way to get this integrated with partnix. Kind of to not be able to "forget" how partitioning was done over the time spans involved. | 18:25:33 |

| David Arnold (blaggacao) | ^^ this makes a CLI driven workflow to get your USB ready a tiny bit less cumbersome... | 21:11:44 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | How often do you do that? And when you do, do you remember all the command to reliably select the right device, etc?
I think that tool comes in really handy... | 21:12:21 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | Pretty cool:
hive on main [?]

You can now burn it to a USB with the following command:

| David Arnold (blaggacao) | Also found a potentially nicer way to configure wifi on a new host on the command line:
