I think a pervasive solution would be machines["<fqdn>"]

What's worse, python identifier can't have dashes. So the set of legal hostnames (= dns label) is not RFC1035(?) compliant. Just for tests.

We could map that to the config's fqdn, but at the same time expose node names as direct identifier's, e.g. machine2...

If you have a WIP profile that breaks test? Or maybe some of your profiles use private information that cannot be pulled into test environment (just off top of my head)

{ containers.my-coolcontainer = imports = [ ./path-to-host.nix ]; }

{ containers.my-cool-container = imports = [ ./path-to-host.nix ]; }

{ containers.my-cool-container = { imports = [ ./path-to-host.nix ]; }; }

{ containers.my-cool-container.config = { imports = [ ./path-to-host.nix ]; }; }

I'm working on a DevOS-inspired setup with flakes + home-manager on Arch Linux. I'm using aconfmgr as a neat escape-hatch to manage config and packages in a fairly declarative manner.

I'm having some issues as I'm trying to switch from bash to zsh though. When i do programs.zsh.enable, I get an error about packages being in conflict:

...
installing 'home-manager-path'

Oops, nix-env failed to install your new Home Manager profile!

Perhaps there is a conflict with a package that was installed using
'nix-env -i'? Try running

    nix-env -q

and if there is a conflicting package you can remove it with

    nix-env -e {package name}

Then try activating your Home Manager configuration again.

I suspect the issue is that nixpkgs is providing one version of zsh while home-manager is providing another, but I don't see how that's possible or how to fix it. Here's my flake.lock file: https://github.com/d4hines/beth/blob/master/flake.lock

Any ideas?
