Ok, so the value I give to home-manager is intelligently merged with the defaults (and any other modules I load as well), and if there are conflicts it fails to switch. In the context of the 'module system' you can thing of advanced merge semantics and any such semantic can be expressed. Unfortunately, it is implemented itself in nix and not yet a language feature. This is at the root of a bad as bad can be tracing experience, which often hangs somewhere in or through the module system. nickel to the rescue. | 18:16:20 |

yeah a default like host.wait_for("multi-user.target") or "default.target" might be better It works well for me https://github.com/GTrunSec/digga/commit/eb224906cad3e45bca621f76f7c45ae02830dc37 | 23:35:24 |

 @kraftnix:matrix.org | is nickel usable with nix/nixos at the moment? i would be really interested to try it out if it were | 02:58:49 |
 @timdeh:matrix.org | it outputs json, so you could output static values. Though, since nix derivations already have substitution scripts, it would probably be easy enough to leave placeholders in the nickel such as @foo@, and substitute dynamic values on the nix side | 03:03:49 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | I mean, you obviously have the computation on the nickel side to do whatever you like to generate those static values as well. If someone were to reimplement the nix module system in nickel, it would be a lot more ergonomic to generate an entire config, and then simply import the final result from the json | 03:07:55 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | And the nix module system could probably do with some strict contracts anyway. Could help improve the design. We certainly would have to maintain the bolted on type system there | 03:08:37 |

| David Arnold (blaggacao) | would be nice to explore how that could be connected with https://github.com/serokell/deploy-rs/issues/123 | 13:29:08 |

 @d4hines:matrix.org | I wrote the following flake to run a simple JS script: https://github.com/d4hines/beth/blob/4f3bbdd8d627061b8b9ddd8e8593b8512c8fa7bd/scripts/complice/flake.nix
Is there a shebang I can add to the file ./complice.js such that I can invoke it directly from my normal home environment? There are guides for using nix-shell commands but none for nix develop that I can find.

A friend pointed me to https://github.com/nix-community/disko i essentially have scripts for this for zfs/btrfs (which aren't currently supported 🤔, so may be worth contributing). one problem i see for install automation (unless your deploy-rs PR handles this for install) is if you are using luks and/or zfs you need some hashes for your new host (hostId for zfs, uuid for luks devices), i tend to just let this be auto-generated by nixos-generate-config but it's been a barrier for me in terms of further automation. | 21:18:03 |

| @gtrunsec:matrix.org | kraftnix: how about https://github.com/GTrunSec/digga/commit/11108bebc9422f4fae342c638b111719fa2e806a | 04:10:15 |
| @kraftnix:matrix.org | gtrunsec: perfect 👌, good global disable + selective host filter | 15:10:22 |
 ultranix | kraftnix: i figured out something strange with the home-manager emacs stuff, i think its a bug in rakeLeaves | 15:12:24 |
| ultranix | as long as the directory users/profiles/emacs/ isnt referred to in the home suites, you wont get the error
error: The option `home-manager.users.tgunnoe.inputs' does not exist. Definition values:
- In `/nix/store/q36vh61yrcnnw2d49hi6357d03i02r3a-source/users/tgunnoe': { }
| 15:14:04 |
| ultranix | so just renaming the directory and referring to new directory in the suites works | 15:14:37 |
| ultranix | and i looked for conflicts around the rest of my repo, but there are no other emacs objects | 15:14:59 |
| ultranix | so 😕 | 15:15:15 |
