 ultranix | how do you run unfree derivations with the syntax nix run 'nixpkgs# | 23:38:32 |

 @timdeh:matrix.org | yeah this is really annoying atm | 03:45:45 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | $ NIXPKGS_ALLOW_UNFREE=1 n run --impure #... | 03:46:06 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | * $ NIXPKGS_ALLOW_UNFREE=1 nix run --impure #... | 03:46:17 |
| ultranix | ahh --impure is what i was missing | 15:30:37 |

 @grahamc:nixos.org | if you're ever making a "real" filesystem like ext4 or whatever: no | 15:05:09 |
| @grahamc:nixos.org | if you're saying well we don't need that, let's just do a ramfs: it could work, but you'd need to figure out putting down a bootloader | 15:05:31 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | I was associating with the time it takes to build the squashfs.. | 15:05:47 |
| @grahamc:nixos.org | again, a squashfs is too much of a real FS | 15:06:20 |
| @grahamc:nixos.org | there are other approaches you could take | 15:06:40 |
| @grahamc:nixos.org | but they have downsides | 15:06:45 |
| @grahamc:nixos.org | this is the second time I've tried to make a fast ipxe server for nixos | 15:06:54 |
| @grahamc:nixos.org | the first time I took a squashfs-based approach | 15:07:12 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | manveru pointed to the link today... He's sitting in quite the same boat. | 15:07:31 |
| @grahamc:nixos.org | every store path got its own squashfs, each squashfs got its own cpio, and then I'd loop over all the squashes and mount them: | 15:07:33 |
| @grahamc:nixos.org | https://github.com/grahamc/netboot.nix/blob/master/quickly.nix#L49-L74 | 15:07:34 |
| @grahamc:nixos.org | this repo uses recursive nix to share those cpios / squashes between builds to reduce duplicate work | 15:07:50 |
| @grahamc:nixos.org | but recursive nix was not a very good experience, and still had a major issue of UX of copying around big initrd's from build machines to the machine hosting the imafges | 15:08:24 |
| @grahamc:nixos.org | by keeping everything Nix does small, the nix-build and nix-copy-closure time is very small | 15:09:15 |
 b12f | After updating to devos' master branch, we're running into the following issue:
❯ nix flake update
warning: Git tree '/home/ben/Workspace/os' is dirty
error: input 'bud/beautysh/poetry2nix/flake-utils' follows a non-existent input 'beautysh/flake-utils'
(use '--show-trace' to show detailed location information)
| 15:48:43 |
| b12f | Anyone know where this might be coming from? We've tried going back and forth between different branches, deleting lockfiles, etc. | 15:49:11 |
| b12f | This doesn't work
bud.inputs.beautysh.inputs.poetry2nix.inputs.flake-utils.follows = "digga/flake-utils-plus/flake-utils";
But I guess something like this would be the way to fix this, no? Interestingly, our flake.nix inputs are basically the same as for devos master
| 15:58:27 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | It should work in theory at least | 15:59:37 |
| b12f | results in the following:
error: cannot find flake 'flake:beautysh' in the flake registries)
| 16:00:18 |
| ultranix | what do i do about error: input 'bud/beautysh/poetry2nix/flake-utils' follows a non-existent input 'beautysh/flake-utils' while trying to update flakes | 22:38:45 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | nix develop github.com:divnix/digga --command nix flake update | 22:41:55 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | may that could work... | 22:42:02 |
