 sinan | is there any doc/blog comparing colmena vs deploy-rs
right now i just keep things like
./hetzner-ex63-base
./hetzner-ex63-01
./hetzner-ex63-02
./hetzner-ex63-02
hetzner-ex63-0[1-3]+ just imports base and set hostname and private link ip
and deploy with nixos-anywhere deploy | 20:07:09 |

 Yifei Sun | it would work
the advantage for colmena vs deploy-rs is parallel eval/deployment
and the downside ofc, is u dont have magic rollback | 20:17:42 |
| sinan | feel like magick rollback should be a nixos (nixpkgs) feature
like the activation script would start a systemd unit and listen for ssh connection, if anyone logs in successfully it's exits, otherwise it's rollbacked to previous version
and there might be some post hook in colmena that we can use to automate the ssh login to deployed machine after switch | 20:23:57 |

| Yifei Sun |
post hook in colmena
im not aware of any | 20:25:33 |
| Yifei Sun | tbh at this point the project hasnt seen any activity in more than 6mo
i plan to fork it and just use it for myself | 20:26:24 |
| sinan | colmena or deploy-rs | 20:27:17 |
| Yifei Sun | colmena | 20:27:24 |
| Yifei Sun | dont get me wrong i still like it very much but for example, the darwin support pr has been there for a bit but... | 20:28:07 |
| Yifei Sun | https://github.com/zhaofengli/colmena/pull/319 | 20:28:39 |
| sinan | damn | 20:29:07 |
| sinan | pr has too many comments, slop ? | 20:31:30 |
| Yifei Sun | i dont do rust dev so cant judge on that but calling it slop is a bit to severe | 20:32:42 |
| sinan | yeah me neither
just being empathetic, ik how it feels to review slop prs :P
maybe he's just burned out | 20:35:27 |
| Yifei Sun |
maybe he's just burned out
yeah most likely | 20:35:50 |
