 @yuka:yuka.dev | I would really support it if the actual deployment commands/logic for NixOS and non-NixOS was just part of a NixOS module system thing | 16:23:57 |
| @yuka:yuka.dev | So that the cli is a dumb task runner | 16:24:04 |
| @yuka:yuka.dev | basically a parallel version of nix run .#nixosConfigurations.xyz.config.system.build.deployScript | 16:24:27 |
| @yuka:yuka.dev | And nix-darwin or nixos containers or completely custom targets can set this deployScript option in their nixos module system to override what happens on a deployment | 16:24:56 |

| Chinchilla Washington | Colmena is throwing this error message when I try to deploy a flake:
[ERROR] stderr) Failed assertions:
[ERROR] stderr) - The ‘fileSystems’ option does not specify your root file system.
[ERROR] stderr) - You must set the option ‘boot.loader.grub.devices’ or 'boot.loader.grub.mirroredBoots' to make the system bootable.
But the root filesystem is specified. I tried setting it directly in the colmena block like git shows and it's still complaining
| 04:51:24 |
| Chinchilla Washington | just switching my flake directly works fine | 04:52:29 |
| Chinchilla Washington | Any ideas? | 04:52:32 |

Colmena itself doesn't use nixosSystems and you need to define the system configurations in outputs.colmena.<name> | 05:40:42 |

| Chinchilla Washington | Neither node works individually, if the other is deleted | 05:43:45 |
| Chinchilla Washington | powerbook works just fine when I run sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#powerbook but I get ^ error on colmena apply-local --node powerbook --sudo | 05:44:33 |
| Zhaofeng Li | It's supposed to look something like:

];
deployment = {
allowLocalDeployment = true;
targetHost = "10.200.1.35";

| 05:49:40 |
| Zhaofeng Li | Colmena itself doesn't look at nixosConfigurations at all, so nixos-rebuild succeeding isn't really relevant. | 05:50:27 |
