Are there any plans to support deployment of nixosSystem declarations in a flake? Not officially, but there are wrappers that do that. I've posted a longer explanation here. Luckily, with the latest changes (more on this in a bit), you can either do it the other way (generate nixosConfigurations from Colmena configurations with colmena.lib.makeHive) or replace the evaluation logic in the colmenaHive output. | 23:50:00 |
| Zhaofeng Li | A couple updates:
- More work was done on separating the evaluation logic from the deployment logic, with the new
colmenaHive output being the integration point that ties the two halves together. Colmena can now deploy from the colmenaHive output which should be an already-evaluated hive generated by colmena.lib.makeHive (or your own logic!). Example here. cc David Arnold (blaggacao) Yureka (she/her)
- Flake-enabled deployments now use
nix copy and the new SSH store protocol (ssh-ng://) for copying closures to remote hosts.

 @rendakuenthusiast:imperishable.name | I'm getting the following error trying to use colmena to deploy to a remote host:

is there anything I do with colmena to get more debug output about exactly what is causing the failing fchownat line?

Looks like some systemd-tmpfiles config that you have. You can manually rerun the activation by executing /nix/var/nix/profiles/system/bin/switch-to-configuration switch on the remote host. | 09:35:41 |
