Hi, I want to use a package from a flake deep in my colmena configuration (using nested imports). Can I reference the input flake and its packages somehow?

Mhhh let me rephrase, the flake.nix has

{
  inputs = {
    # ...
    customPackage.url = "github:jeyemwey/customPackage";
  };
  outputs = { customPackage, ... }: {
    colmena.myHost = {pkgs, ...}: {
      imports = [ ./hosts/myHost ];
      
      services.nginx.virtualHosts."myPackage.example.com".root = "${customPackage.packages."${pkgs.hostPlatform.system}".default}";
    };
  }; 
}

and I can reference the customPackage in the flake outputs function just fine, but I'm not sure how I can reference it in the imports target in ./hosts/myHost/default.nix:

{...}: {
	services.nginx.enable = true;
	services.nginx.virtualHosts."myPackage.example.com" = {
		forceSSL = true;
		enableACME = true;
		
		## TODO: Find way to reference customPackage here
		# root = ...;
	};
}

If that is at all possible? Your answer seems to reference on the inputs of the customPackage which is not what I need here.

Hello, I am trying to use Colmena to deploy to an LXC but I’m hitting a strange issue. It seems like I reach a state where Nix stops networking related units and that causes Colmena to hang

colmena apply
[INFO ] Using configuration: /home/mario/homelab/nix/hive.nix

I was banging my head around for hours trying to figure out how to get the home-manager nixos module to work with colmena apply.
Question #1 Is it possible to get Colmena and home-manager module to work with one another? (I've read conflicting statements).
Question #2 Assuming it is possible does someone have a working flake using Colmena and home-manager?

My config for my nixos systems using flakes and colmena (this is the commit when I had attempted using home-manager and sops-nix): https://github.com/tracyde/nixos-config/tree/62b5b5810e2e4541a6c147a34ebb640f0bea44ba

Cross-platform question. I just got a Raspberry Pi and I'm trying to set it up, but right now colmena apply --on cm4 is pushing x86_64 binaries, instead of aarch64 ones. I figured I'm doing something wrong, just not sure what. This is a flake setup and I think the relevant lines are:

{
  outputs = inputs @ { self, nix, nixpkgs, nixpkgs-stable, ... }: {
      colmena = {
        meta = {
          nixpkgs = import inputs.nixpkgs {
            system = "x86_64-linux";
          };
        };

        laptop = import ./laptop.nix;
        cm4 = import ./cm4.nix;
      };
    };
}

In cm4.nix, I have this:

inputs @ { config, pkgs, system, flakes, ... }: {
    imports = [
      ./configuration.nix
    ];
  
    nixpkgs.system = "aarch64-linux";
  };  

Any suggestions of what I'm doing wrong?

try

            crossSystem = "aarch64-linux";
