 @mariosangiorgio:matrix.org | dtracy: did you manage to get home-manager work with Colmena? Is there any config I can have a look at? | 16:57:43 |
| @mariosangiorgio:matrix.org | I think I found my issue. To bring home-manager in scope I had to add inputs.home-manager.nixosModules.default to my import, similar to what you did to bring in sops.
Now everything builds fine, time to actually write some home manager configuration and see if it works | 22:37:30 |

| pgibson | Hi, I'm a Nix newb and I'm trying to deploy a server to a DigitalOcean droplet with Colmena. I've got NixOS running on the droplet via a custom image. Do I need to reference/import "virtualisation/digital-ocean-image.nix" somewhere in my flake.nix? | 00:31:19 |
| pgibson | Oh looks like this works imports = [ (nixpkgs + "/nixos/modules/virtualisation/digital-ocean-config.nix") ]; | 01:18:39 |
| pgibson | I spent so long trying different combinations before asking, then found the solution about 10 minutes later 🤦 | 01:19:21 |
 treed | FWIW, for something similar I have imports = [ (modulesPath + "/profiles/qemu-guest.nix") ]; | 01:20:07 |
| treed | where modulesPath is an input to that file along with like config lib pkgs | 01:20:25 |
| treed | I forget where it actually comes from, but it was the solution I found at some point | 01:20:39 |
| treed | I guess it'd only work if you're importing the file that contains that line though? | 01:20:56 |
| pgibson | Where does modulesPath come from? | 01:21:09 |
| treed | Unsure. It comes for free though | 01:21:23 |
| treed | https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/unstable/options | 01:21:49 |
| treed | mentioned there, only defined for nixos | 01:21:58 |
| treed | Probably not that different from what yours does in the end though | 01:22:38 |
| pgibson | I get error: undefined variable 'modulesPath', but maybe I'm putting it in the wrong spot | 01:23:11 |
| treed | It needs to be defined as an input to the file being imported, like where the file starts with { pkgs, config, ... }: | 01:23:46 |
| pgibson | my-host = { name, nodes, pkgs, ... }: {
imports = [
#(nixpkgs + "/nixos/modules/virtualisation/digital-ocean-config.nix")
(modulesPath + "/nixos/modules/virtualisation/digital-ocean-config.nix")
];
| 01:23:56 |
| pgibson | Ahh right | 01:24:08 |
| treed | ah, put it between pkgs and ... | 01:24:11 |
| treed | It's one of the module arguments | 01:25:11 |
| treed | oh, and you'd want to remove /nixos/modules. I think that's included | 01:25:55 |
| pgibson | Yes that's working thanks - looks a bit cleaner | 01:27:09 |
| pgibson | Next question - I have a separate flake that builds a docker image that I can run that locally with podman. How do I go about deploying that as a systemd service on my droplet? | 01:45:03 |
| treed | Does the flake define a service module, or something else? | 01:45:24 |
