 Linux Hackerman | Oh yeah you can use cachix too, but I was assuming that local storage without bandwidth restrictions might be preferable | 08:09:32 |
| Linux Hackerman | Also, sooner or later you're probably going to want to clean the storage up. There's currently no good mechanism for this, the easiest way is to just delete everything, but of course that means everything's gone... | 08:11:35 |
 snartvellental | yeah, then most likely one would resort to S3 with proper lifecycle rules in place | 08:14:19 |
| snartvellental | nix copy sounds like a new command, haven't seen that one | 08:16:20 |
| Linux Hackerman | there used to be nix-push, but that was removed in favour of the unstable nix copy interface 🙃 | 08:36:14 |
| snartvellental | why is nix such a big ocean lol :D sometimes I feel like i've seen 5% or 0,05% | 11:23:03 |
 Buckley | Because nix invites the user to jump into the whole stack and mess around :o | 13:05:35 |
 CRTified | Interesting. I'm currently not at home and tried apply-local for the first time to update my laptop. It fails and claims my machine isn't a NixOS machine 🤔 | 13:48:31 |
 Zhaofeng Li | Which versions of nixpkgs and Colmena? It doesn't look like they changed the format of /etc/os-release again | 18:59:04 |

 Jane Jasperous | hi, im configuring my systems using colmente to deploy in my network. I'd like to have some machines running 21.11 others 22.05 other unstable. I get working this for packages, but not for full nixos system (modules,...) | 12:27:06 |

i expected declare machines as server1 = inputs.nixpkgs-2205.lib.nixosSystem { (...) to work You don't need lib.nixosSystem for colmena, just the config | 15:01:51 |
| phaer | server1 = inputs.nixpkgs-2205.lib.nixosSystem { (...) }.config could also work, i think? But haven't tested this | 15:03:21 |

server1 = inputs.nixpkgs-2205.lib.nixosSystem { (...) }.config could also work, i think? But haven't tested this Kind of - I'm using such a shim to use nixosConfigurations and colmena together: https://github.com/zhaofengli/colmena/issues/60#issuecomment-1047199551 | 15:04:14 |
| phaer | Ah, good to know. I personally just keep my stuff in the nixosModules output of my flake and can then put them into colmena configs for hosts I deploy with colmena or nixosConfigurations as needed | 15:05:44 |
| Jane Jasperous | Effectively im using colmena + nixos-rebuild | 19:57:00 |
| Jane Jasperous | In reply to @phaer:matrix.org
You don't need lib.nixosSystem for colmena, just the config ok that work locally with nixos-rebuild. This piece of code fails becuase overwrite nixpkgs-2205 for nixpkgs | 21:43:00 |
| Jane Jasperous | colmena = {
meta = {
nixpkgs = import nixpkgs { system = "x86_64-linux"; };
specialArgs = { inherit inputs; };
};
} // builtins.mapAttrs (name: value: {
nixpkgs.system = value.config.nixpkgs.system;
imports = value._module.args.modules;
}) (self.nixosConfigurations);

ok server1 = inputs.nixpkgs-2205.lib.nixosSystem { (...) } works locally with nixos-rebuild. This piece of code makes colmena overwrite nixpkgs-2205 for nixpkgs For that to work, you'll likely also need to use nodeNixpkgs as described in the colmena manual | 22:59:32 |

| Jane Jasperous | In reply to @schnecfk:ruhr-uni-bochum.de
For that to work, you'll likely also need to use nodeNixpkgs as described in the colmena manual of course, that works. but duplicate code. Could be interesting colmena accepts nixosSystem.config as is | 08:39:52 |
| CRTified | Maybe I can change my shim a bit 🤔 Might be non-ideal. For example: nodeNixpkgs could probably be populated from nixosConfigurations.hostname.pkgs | 09:10:59 |
