 Buckley | Each machine should have the extraArga attribute, not the flake itself. Not sure if that’s what you mean | 17:47:23 |
 CRTified | In reply to @buckley310:matrix.org
So I'm curious. In my setup my servers all exist inside of my flake outputs.nixosConfigurations, and my outputs.colmena is just a stub that consumes nixosConfigurations and emits a colmena configuration. Is anyone else doing it this way, or just me? I really like the portability of keeping my hosts in nixosConfigurations imports = value.extraArgs.modules;
This does not work, due to extraArgs.modules missing

| Buckley | what happens if you run these terminal commands in your repo?
$ nix repl
nix-repl> :lf .
nix-repl> nixosConfigurations.<hostname>.extraArgs.modules
| 17:49:41 |
| CRTified | Same error as when running colmena build:
error: attribute 'modules' missing

| Buckley | 🤔 | 17:51:08 |
| Buckley | dunno | 17:51:39 |
| Buckley | are you on unstable or 21.11 ? | 17:51:44 |

If it helps
| 17:51:47 |
| CRTified | Unstable | 17:51:51 |
| CRTified | $ nix --version
nix (Nix) 2.6.0pre20211217_6e6e998
| 17:52:12 |
| Buckley | im on 21.11. i wonder if they changed something? 🤔 | 17:52:17 |
| Buckley | oh im on nix 2.4 as well | 17:52:23 |
| CRTified | AFAIK, extraArgs in nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem got deprecated 🤔 | 17:52:44 |
| Buckley | 🎉 i guess i need to figure out how else to do this then | 17:53:06 |
| Buckley | before 22.05 | 17:53:17 |
| CRTified | I tried manually to import everything under nixosConfigurations.mailbox but in most cases, I've hit either errors of "wrong type", infinite recursion or nixpkgs.pkgs does not exist | 17:54:18 |
| Buckley | did you read somewhere that the extraArgs thing got deprecated? if so ill get on solving this, since ill need to eventually anyway | 17:54:55 |
| CRTified | I think I've read it somewhere | 17:55:31 |
| CRTified | I'll try to find it again | 17:55:35 |
| CRTified | It got really late last night 😅 | 17:55:44 |
| Buckley | heh | 17:56:28 |
| Buckley | i like how literally a couple hours ago i said something like i dont think nixosConfigurations would break xD | 17:57:02 |
 Zhaofeng Li | Looks like args and extraArgs was deprecates here:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/148315 | 17:58:29 |
| Zhaofeng Li | * Looks like args and extraArgs was deprecated here:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/148315 | 17:58:52 |
| Zhaofeng Li | But setting _module.args should be equivalent | 17:59:27 |
| CRTified | imports = value._module.args.modules; seems promising, but as I add colmena.nixosModules.deploymentOptions to the nixosSystem modules, I now get a duplicate definition warning:
error: The option `deployment.allowLocalDeployment' in `<unknown-file>' is already declared in `/nix/store/4ba8vi60ay3b68kgspyxd7bmxbsixar1-source/flake.nix'.
| 18:05:16 |
| CRTified | So it looks like I'd need to filter it in that case? 🤔 | 18:05:29 |
| CRTified | Can't really filter it ☹️ Equality of lambdas is a bit hard as a problem 😀 | 18:16:06 |
 Jane Jasperous | I get this exactly error using extraArgs.modules | 18:31:05 |
| Buckley | okay i updated my deployment stuff. https://github.com/buckley310/nixos-config/blob/master/lib/deploy.nix | 18:45:47 |
