 Pierre Carrier | create a .wsl file | 17:38:19 |
 K900 | Build a .wsl file from a NixOS config (with the WSL modules included)? Yes | 17:38:37 |
| Pierre Carrier | that I can restore on other machines in as little time as possible. double click and go | 17:38:40 |
 nzbr (they/it) | It should be possible (wsl --export I think), but I don't know if it will work well | 17:39:34 |
| K900 | I think what they want is to build a tarball | 17:40:08 |
| K900 | Which is yes a thing you can do | 17:40:13 |
| Pierre Carrier | yeah --export has all the transient stuff I'd rather lose | 17:40:20 |
| nzbr (they/it) | Building a .wsl file from your own config should work fine though. But I don't remember the command for doing that without flakes | 17:40:28 |
| Pierre Carrier | as in, not carry around | 17:40:35 |
| Pierre Carrier | I use flakes | 17:41:07 |
| K900 | It should be nix-build <nixpkgs/nixos> -A config.system.build.tarballBuilder | 17:41:04 |
| Pierre Carrier | https://github.com/pcarrier/nix | 17:41:20 |
| K900 | Then it should be nix build .#nixosConfigurations.<hostname>.config.system.build.tarballBuilder | 17:41:22 |
| Pierre Carrier | ah perfect appreciate it | 17:48:07 |
| nzbr (they/it) | Does that automatically know to look in /etc/nixos/configuration.nix? | 17:50:23 |
| K900 | Yes | 17:52:03 |
| nzbr (they/it) | Neat | 17:52:10 |
| Pierre Carrier | hmmm kinda lost here sorry. new x64 install, only added git to the nix-env and cloned the repo: | 18:17:59 |

| Pierre Carrier | Redacted or Malformed Event | 18:20:34 |
| Pierre Carrier | * oh it seems to maybe call the python from windows hu. no idea where that python even comes from, no uninstall available, not in scoop, not in winget. hmmm | 18:22:48 |
| Pierre Carrier | well, dunno what caused it, but it's gone | 19:41:34 |

| Pierre Carrier | anything to know for forwarding X11 using SSH? | 19:57:18 |
| K900 | Don't, mostly | 19:58:09 |
| Pierre Carrier | well I kinda need to | 19:58:21 |
| Pierre Carrier | I run both hosts | 19:58:29 |
| K900 | WSL runs a Wayland compositor, not X, and forwarding XWayland will be a mess | 19:58:39 |
| K900 | You probably want to use VNC or something | 19:58:43 |
