is there an equivalent of nix flake check for the colmena hive configurations? like flake check evaluates nixosConfigurations.<name>.config.system.build.toplevel Oops, missed this. colmena build should give you similar results | 22:58:30 |
 Emanuel Johnson Godin | Can you link the issue?

I'm looking to switch from deploy-rs to colmena. But colmena's module feels strange. Why do I put host configuration inside outputs.colmena? Shouldn't outputs.colmena consume nixosConfigurations? * The design is for the makeHive function to control the evaluation so you're able to get config cross-reference via the nodes argument, apply a set of common modules, etc. There are ways to shove existing nixosConfigurations into colmenaHive though (see the issue on this) | 22:59:10 |
| Emanuel Johnson Godin | Completely fair, I've been meaning to rip out all home-manager stuff from my system anyway | 22:59:33 |

| Merrkry | Hi, is there a way to let colmenaHive expose system.build.toplevel in flake config instead of using colmena eval? | 14:57:26 |
| Zhaofeng Li | nix build .#colmenaHive.toplevel.someName should work | 14:58:24 |
| Zhaofeng Li | also I personally set nixosConfigurations = self.outputs.colmenaHive.nodes; so tools like nixos-everywhere work | 14:59:26 |
| Merrkry | exactly what i want. thanks | 15:04:07 |

 Valodim | Whoa. That is a major hint, it should really be in the documentation (if it isn't anyway, in which case I missed it) | 18:48:56 |

| invariance | Is https://colmena.cli.rs down? | 23:53:00 |
| Zhaofeng Li | looks like it, the domain name seems to have expired 🙁 | 23:54:30 |
| Zhaofeng Li | (not mine, it's https://github.com/zackify/cli.rs, will open an issue) | 23:54:44 |
| Zhaofeng Li | ah, someone just got to it: https://github.com/zackify/cli.rs/issues/113 | 23:55:10 |
| invariance | Wow, they really did just get to it | 23:55:47 |
| invariance | thanks for clarifying; maybe remove the CNAME from github pages until it's back up, so it's accessible at https://zhaofengli.github.io/colmena? | 23:56:49 |
| 28 Jul 2025 |
| Zhaofeng Li | Oops sorry, got distracted. Sadly removing the CNAME file is dangerous and will enable another repository to take over colmena.cli.rs for their GitHub Pages. | 03:21:13 |
| Zhaofeng Li | (there was no way to configure domain verification due to how cli.rs is set up, and obviously it's too late for that now) | 03:21:46 |
| Zhaofeng Li | In the meantime, I've pushed the manual to https://stuff.naive.network/colmena-docs-f560ed6/ as a temporary measure | 03:23:15 |
