 Samuel | That does not sound like a Colmena issue | 13:37:52 |

| zygohistomorphic glyph | Hello! I am trying to migrate my old plain flakes based setup to colmena, but am running into some issues. For my hive, I've set
defaults = { name, nodes, pkgs, ... }: {
modules = [
# -- some imports omitted
agenix.nixosModules.default
agenix-rekey.nixosModules.default
];
age.rekey = {
masterIdentities = [ ./secrets/age_id.age ];
hostPubkey = ./secrets/${name}.pub;
storageMode = "local";
localStorageDir = ./. + "/secrets/rekeyed/${name}";
};
};
this worked fine as part of a node in nixosConfigurations, but when I put this into colmenaHive it fails to recognize age as an option. What am I missing? | 15:48:48 |

| whispers (it/fae) | i'm not familiar with agenix-rekey, but i'm pretty sure the age.rekey part is nixos configuration; i.e. it should be in a nixos module.
defaults = { name, nodes, pkgs, ... }: {
modules = [
# -- some imports omitted
agenix.nixosModules.default
agenix-rekey.nixosModules.default
{
age.rekey = {
masterIdentities = [ ./secrets/age_id.age ];
hostPubkey = ./secrets/${name}.pub;
storageMode = "local";
localStorageDir = ./. + "/secrets/rekeyed/${name}";
};
}
];
};

| zygohistomorphic glyph | ah, i see! I was under the impression that defaults itself defines a module | 18:22:49 |
| zygohistomorphic glyph | thanks! | 18:22:55 |
| zygohistomorphic glyph | how does the
defaults = { pkgs, ... }: {
# This module will be imported by all hosts
environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
vim wget curl
];
};
bit of the tutorial configuration work then? | 18:25:25 |

 Merrkry | 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 | Also, does Colmena set nixpkgs.pkgs? | 17:10:05 |

 Alexander | 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 Li | You can set nixpkgs.system for that specific node, see https://colmena.cli.rs/unstable/examples/multi-arch.html | 02:54:55 |
| Zhaofeng 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 |
