I like the idea of customProfileTest , but there seem to be some problems with its logic. It should load the activated suites of the current host instead of merged in allProfilesTest. oh, it does neither... | 00:57:11 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | (or I made a mistake 🤣) | 00:57:27 |
 @kraftnix:matrix.org | I had some nasty case before where the test never timed out :/ | 00:57:28 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | Nice trick, that Las shared over there:a | 01:39:39 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | $ mount /dev/disk/by-label/nixos /mnt
$ mkdir -p /mnt/boot && mount /dev/disk/by-label/boot /mnt/boot # UEFI only
$ swapon /dev/$your_swap_partition
# add some extra space to the store, it's running on a tmpfs on your RAM
$ mkdir -p /mnt/tmpstore/{work,store}
$ mount -t overlay overlay -olowerdir=/nix/store,upperdir=/mnt/tmpstore/store,workdir=/mnt/tmpstore/work /nix/store
| 01:39:50 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | I'll put it in the docs... | 01:40:25 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | And I also was reminded, that good old bud can't work on a read-only flake root. | 01:41:41 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | https://devos.divnix.com/start/bootstrapping.html#mount-partitions | 01:46:57 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | Does anybody know a smart way to make the baked in flake writable? maybe using overlays? | 01:58:40 |

that's neat, i have actually run into the tmpfs storage issue before when trying to do a 0 -> full system build during bootstrap | 02:50:05 |

Does anybody know a smart way to make the baked in flake writable? maybe using overlays? in the context of bootstrapIso my hack is just to rsync it the user home dir, edit + build there | 02:50:52 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | I still want to do copy --to ssh://[fe08::47%eno1]/mnt though... | 02:51:11 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | but the path part of the uri is not parsed in nix ... 😥 | 02:51:46 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | * I still want to do nix copy --to ssh://[fe08::47%eno1]/mnt though... | 02:52:03 |
| @kraftnix:matrix.org | ahhh | 02:52:07 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | it seems to be a hard wall to hit | 02:52:53 |
| @kraftnix:matrix.org | given that nix doesn't seem to support that, the cleanest hack i can think of (although i'm not sure whether this should be in deploy/yeet) is to run an sshfs to the install target at /mnt/nix/store and then nix copy --to file:///deploy-host/path/to/sshfs 😐️ | 02:59:07 |

| David Arnold (blaggacao) | ssh://localhost?store=$NIX_STORE_DIR&remote-store=$remoteRoot?store=$NIX_STORE_DIR&real=$remoteRoot$NIX_STORE_DIR what is this???? | 03:51:54 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | It certainle doesn't seem that draft uri RFC spec | 03:53:05 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | * It certainly doesn't seem that draft uri RFC spec | 03:53:14 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | And then there is ssh-ng ... 😕 | 03:53:39 |
 @timdeh:matrix.org | So second draft is pretty much a total rewrite 😆:

ssh://localhost?store=$NIX_STORE_DIR&remote-store=$remoteRoot?store=$NIX_STORE_DIR&real=$remoteRoot$NIX_STORE_DIR what is this???? where did you find this beast 😄 | 05:46:31 |

| David Arnold (blaggacao) | and IT TOTALLY WORKS 🎉 | 05:47:41 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | I'm a happy man, now. | 05:47:56 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | Awesome. We can soon say goodbye to nixos-install and friends 🥳 | 05:48:52 |
 @gtrunsec:matrix.org | Congratulation！ | 05:51:56 |
