 @linus:schreibt.jetzt | right, then try plain colmena apply-local | 19:01:17 |

has the eval-node-limit heuristic improved? Without an explicit limit it at least used to completely blow my laptop up There hasn't been any change to the heuristic which assumes a constant memory size for each node. We can probably make the number bigger if people keep running into things like this. It's bit difficult to estimate the memory usage to evaluate a "typical" condig | 19:01:31 |

deployment.privilegeEscalationCommand = ["doas"]; is also set. colmena apply-local --sudo should work | 19:01:40 |
 @ask-yourself:matrix.org | The output of colmena apply-local is:
.dotfiles on main [!+] ⊥ colmena apply-local
[WARN ] Colmena was not started by root. This is probably not going to work.
[WARN ] Hint: Add the --sudo flag.

| @linus:schreibt.jetzt | oops, never mind what I said then | 19:01:56 |

colmena apply-local --sudo should work This should work even after I turn of sudo for this machine? | 19:02:29 |
| @ask-yourself:matrix.org | (And yes it does work, thank you.) | 19:02:50 |
| Zhaofeng Li | It uses the privilegeEscalationCommand configured in the config | 19:02:52 |
| Zhaofeng Li | `apply-local` doesn't run the escalation command by default. It seems a bit rude to do so, given that sudo cache exists and Colmena may end up doing dangerous things without prompt. Better make it explicit I guess. | 19:03:36 |
| @linus:schreibt.jetzt | gosh frick, I wanted to test if the problem still exists and yes it very much does lol | 19:04:00 |
| Zhaofeng Li | * There hasn't been any change to the heuristic which assumes a constant memory size for each node. We can probably make the number bigger if people keep running into things like this. It's bit difficult to estimate the memory usage to evaluate a "typical" config | 19:05:19 |
| @ask-yourself:matrix.org | Zhaofeng Li: colmena apply-local --sudo doesn't work once sudo is turned off though, and I want to turn sudo off. | 19:05:42 |
| @linus:schreibt.jetzt | Hm, would it be appropriate to set the OOM score adjustment for the nix-eval-jobs process to avoid this kind of thing? | 19:06:28 |
| Zhaofeng Li | Hmm, it should be using the `deployment.privilegeEscalationCommand`. Let me check | 19:06:41 |
| @ask-yourself:matrix.org | Wait. I had that commented out. | 19:06:59 |
| @ask-yourself:matrix.org | Don't waste your time checking yet, probably my error. | 19:07:09 |
| @linus:schreibt.jetzt | also, the heuristic results in 52 workers for me which... I think is deep into inappropriate territory for 32G of RAM :D | 19:09:04 |
