looks like it, the domain name seems to have expired 🙁 At least they have 30 days to fix it, according to rnids.rs | 07:36:30 |
 Zhaofeng Li | yeah, looks like they are active on github so hopefully it gets renewed soon | 07:37:54 |

| sinan | hi, colmena.cli.rs is down | 06:57:39 |
| sinan | Zhaofeng Li: | 06:58:43 |
 Johann Wagner | It's known. | 06:58:51 |
| Johann Wagner | See literally 3 messages above you. | 06:59:04 |
| sinan | Oo, whre do i go for docs ? | 06:59:06 |
| Johann Wagner | https://stuff.naive.network/colmena-docs-f560ed6/ | 06:59:20 |
| Johann Wagner | As mentioned. | 06:59:22 |
| Johann Wagner | They are working on a fix. | 06:59:36 |
| sinan | colmena is still maintained right ?
i was using nixos-rebuild till now, this is my first intro into the nix ops tools
waited around a little bit for nixops4 but i don't think it will happen any time soon | 07:01:39 |
| Zhaofeng Li | yup, monitoring the situation (see https://github.com/zackify/cli.rs/issues/113 and https://github.com/zhaofengli/colmena/issues/304), if it doesn't get resolved in the next few days I'll consider moving to somewhere more reliable | 07:01:59 |
| Zhaofeng Li | (would suck as there would be dead links everywhere, but better than no docs at all) | 07:02:06 |
| Zhaofeng Li | a few high-profile projects also use the domain (rustic, kmon, pls) so... at least we aren't suffering alone 😐️ | 07:02:19 |
| sinan | damn | 07:03:13 |

|  zsuper joined the room. | 06:49:35 |
| zsuper | is the hardware-configuration.nix file's contents something that needs to be included in a node's modules? I know deploy-rs requires this, and it was recommended to me to have a node-specific folder of NixOS modules containing each host's hardware-configuration.nix. I can work with this approach, but it makes things a LOT more awkward because in order to generate that file, I must first have access to the target running NixOS | 07:00:11 |
| zsuper | and I want to find a way to streamline the process of adding new nodes to my NixOS network. im looking into the idea of custom ISOs right now, which would allow me to live USB boot onto a computer with things like master computer's SSH keys added, flakes/git/vim enabled, etc.
But this again only takes me halfway there, since even if I get to a stage where colmena/deploy-rs CAN interact with the target host over SSH correctly, the nixosConfiguration will be invalid due to things like fileSystems."/" being unset (which is usually handled by hardware-configuration.nix)
does anyone have any pointers/tips they can share with how to make this easier?
| 07:05:06 |
| Zhaofeng Li | I personally set nixosConfigurations = self.outputs.colmenaHive.nodes; then nixos-anywhere can generate the hardware-configuration.nix automatically: https://nix-community.github.io/nixos-anywhere/quickstart.html | 14:52:08 |
| sinan changed their profile picture. | 15:07:47 |
| zsuper | I see. I have never used nixos-anywhere or disko before. I suppose this is probably a good way to learn. Thanks! | 17:36:04 |

 jonhermansen | Does anyone have an example of using an overlay + Colmena + flakes? | 22:15:29 |
