@craige:mcwhirter.iocraigeDoes colmena have the capability to do a dry installation: ie: a build, a copy across but no activation. I've been going through the doco but I've not been able to see such a feature (or I've completely missed it).00:08:26
@craige:mcwhirter.iocraige

Found it. What I was looking for was:

colmena apply dry-activate

I have started to play with colmena just now. One thing that caught my eye is, to be able to override nix.extraOptions one needs to use lib.mkDefault, else both will get written to /etc/nix/nix.conf, e.g:

defaults = { ... }: {
  nix.extraOptions = lib.mkDefault ''
      min-free = ${toString (5 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024)}
  ''

@zhaofeng:zhaofeng.liZhaofeng Li types.lines is really not ideal composability-wise 20:36:13
@zhaofeng:zhaofeng.liZhaofeng Li You should use the structured nix.settings instead 20:36:36
