 Buckley | i have 10 servers and I felt it was enough overhead to change it. | 22:37:06 |
 tylerjl | Hm, some of my hosts are aarch64 so I could very well end up with a lot of overhead if I keep building them through binfmt. I'll keep that in mind | 22:37:51 |
| Buckley | nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem ? | 22:38:12 |
| tylerjl | Oh, wait, yeah, nixosSystem is the "type" that you feed into a nixosConfiguration (I think). Makes sense | 22:39:17 |
| Buckley | nixosSystem is a function that generates what goes in nixosConfigurations | 22:39:53 |

 @garionion:entr0py.de | hi, is there a way to upload single files or whole directories with colmena? | 07:44:22 |

hi, is there a way to upload single files or whole directories with colmena? This is more nix-like, but you can generally add files and directories to the nix store and copy them over by referencing them in your config. The easiest target is /etc/, but you are generally free to do as you wish by e.g. linking with systemd.tmpfiles.rules or writing a custom systemd service. Note that this approach is not suitable for secrets, as they're in the world-readable store. For these, use colmena's deployment.keys. | 08:36:34 |

| @garionion:entr0py.de | uhh, your right, i totally forgot about that (i already use it on my laptop ^^) | 08:37:50 |
| @garionion:entr0py.de | thank you ^-^ | 08:37:55 |
| @schnecfk:ruhr-uni-bochum.de | No problem 🙂 | 08:38:04 |

|  @rendakuenthusiast:imperishable.name joined the room. | 04:28:23 |
| @rendakuenthusiast:imperishable.name | I'm getting a "child process was killled by signal 11" error when I try to use colmena to remove a specific piece of configuration from a remote machine, not sure how to debug | 04:29:16 |
| @rendakuenthusiast:imperishable.name | specifically this happens when I try to remove a vhost from an nginx config | 04:29:45 |
| @rendakuenthusiast:imperishable.name | literally deleting the block because I don't need that vhost anymore | 04:29:57 |
| @rendakuenthusiast:imperishable.name | I tried renaming the vhost and that seemed to apply without a problem | 04:30:12 |
 Winter (she/her) | oh wow that's weird
i assume the vhost names don't have anything weird about them? | 04:30:46 |
| Winter (she/her) | like any weird characters or something | 04:30:53 |
| @rendakuenthusiast:imperishable.name | nope, just normal ascii urls | 04:31:00 |
| Winter (she/her) | if you run with --verbose, where is it segfaulting? eval? | 04:31:30 |
| @rendakuenthusiast:imperishable.name | is there a way I can tell what the child process is? | 04:31:31 |
| @rendakuenthusiast:imperishable.name | does colmena have a verbose option? | 04:31:54 |
| @rendakuenthusiast:imperishable.name | I'm specifically running nix-shell -p colmena --run 'colmena apply -f my-hive.nix' | 04:32:19 |
| Winter (she/her) | In reply to @winterqt:nixos.dev
if you run with --verbose, where is it segfaulting? eval? ^^, it won't show what command is being run but it'll at least show if the failure is eval or apply related | 04:34:13 |
| @rendakuenthusiast:imperishable.name | ok I'll try that | 04:36:39 |
| @rendakuenthusiast:imperishable.name | didn't help, just prints out:
(...) | Evaluation failed: Child process was killed by signal 11
| Failed: Child process was killed by signal 11
| 04:37:15 |
| @rendakuenthusiast:imperishable.name | this is nix-shell -p colmena --run 'colmena apply -f my-hive.nix --verbose' | 04:37:54 |
| Winter (she/her) | okay at least we know it's eval related... somehow.
to be clear, you can reliably reproduce this by making a single change, right? | 04:38:26 |
| Winter (she/her) | like if you revert the renaming of the vhost it works completely fine? | 04:38:37 |
| Winter (she/her) | and if you do it again it segfaults consistently? | 04:38:47 |
