@marshmallow:althaea.zonemarshmallowOh, maybe I shouldn't be using main and assuming its stable. But the nixpkgs version appears to always break for me :(05:58:03

@tebriel:frodux.nettebriel is there an equivalent of nix flake check for the colmena hive configurations? like flake check evaluates nixosConfigurations.<name>.config.system.build.toplevel 00:20:58

@emanueljohnsongodin:matrix.orgEmanuel Johnson Godin 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? 22:51:18

@emanueljohnsongodin:matrix.orgEmanuel Johnson Godinalso, can colmena deploy standalone home-manager configuration?22:53:19

The design is for the makeHive function 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)

also, can colmena deploy standalone home-manager configuration?
No, no such support yet. Some deploy-rs-style pluggable target support would be nice, but don't have the cycles at the moment

Oops, missed this. colmena build should give you similar results
22:58:30
@emanueljohnsongodin:matrix.orgEmanuel Johnson GodinCan you link the issue? 22:59:05

@emanueljohnsongodin:matrix.orgEmanuel Johnson GodinCompletely fair, I've been meaning to rip out all home-manager stuff from my system anyway22:59:33

@merrkry:tsubasa.moeMerrkry Hi, is there a way to let colmenaHive expose system.build.toplevel in flake config instead of using colmena eval? 14:57:26
@zhaofeng:zhaofeng.liZhaofeng Li nix build .#colmenaHive.toplevel.someName should work 14:58:24
@zhaofeng:zhaofeng.liZhaofeng Li also I personally set nixosConfigurations = self.outputs.colmenaHive.nodes; so tools like nixos-everywhere work 14:59:26
