@merrkry:tsubasa.moeMerrkry Hi, I have some question about meta.nixpkgs. What if I have a machine that has different architecture from all other machines? Do I have to specify nodeNixpkgs for it? 17:09:31
@merrkry:tsubasa.moeMerrkry Also, does Colmena set nixpkgs.pkgs? 17:10:05

@alpha-centauri:matrix.orgAlexander Hi there. Thanks for a great tool. I have a question. I need to deploy my nixos configuration to multiple devices. Usually I connect them to my local network and they got some dynamic IP. It is not very convenient to change deployment.targetHost for every new device. It would be nice to have a cli option for this. What do you think about the idea? 20:40:15

@zhaofeng:zhaofeng.liZhaofeng Li You can set nixpkgs.system for that specific node, see https://colmena.cli.rs/unstable/examples/multi-arch.html 02:54:55
@zhaofeng:zhaofeng.liZhaofeng Li I don't think this idea scales well for the common use case of deploying to many nodes at once. You can use mDNS .local hostnames or something like tailscale 02:56:14

@alpha-centauri:matrix.orgAlexander I do not suggest to replace a configuration option with a cli one. But to add a possibility to override deployment.targetHost. TBH I do not understand how mDNS or Tailscale could help me. I know an IP address of a device but I do not want to modify my configuration every time 15:58:34
@alpha-centauri:matrix.orgAlexander For example with ansible it is possible to override inventory with a cli option. Colmena also has a deployment.buildOnTarget configuration and a --build-on-target cli option which overrides it 16:01:59
@alpha-centauri:matrix.orgAlexanderI did not explain that these devices do not stay in my local network. I just setup them and they should be installed in another place16:04:49
@f0x:pixie.townf0x you could write a simple bash wrapper script that takes an ip argument, sed's it into a template hive.nix and runs colmena? 16:28:31
@alpha-centauri:matrix.orgAlexanderEverything is possible with sed)))16:55:22
