| Pierre Carrier | ahoy! is arm64 supported? | 17:25:22 |
| Pierre Carrier | I figure nixos on wsl on arm64 is getting to be as niche as it gets, so wondering if it's even built/tested/used at all | 17:26:35 |
| Pierre Carrier | Redacted or Malformed Event | 17:27:58 |
 K900 | Supported? Not really | 17:30:07 |
| K900 | But I don't think there's any reason it can't work | 17:30:12 |
| K900 | Fundamentally | 17:30:13 |
| K900 | You just might have to do something weird to bootstrap | 17:30:20 |
| K900 | Like I don't think we have anything x86 specific in there | 17:30:37 |
| Pierre Carrier | OK cool. but it would have to be another .wsl file right? | 17:31:24 |
| K900 | Yes | 17:31:36 |
| Pierre Carrier | I'd like to bootstrap, if you have any pointers | 17:31:42 |
| K900 | And you'd need an aarch64 builder to build it | 17:31:43 |
| K900 | Well you'll need an aarch64 something running NixOS | 17:31:52 |
| Pierre Carrier | yeah I can run nix in ubuntu in wsl right | 17:32:00 |
| K900 | Potentially | 17:32:08 |
| Pierre Carrier | ah gotta be nixos not just nix? | 17:32:13 |
| K900 | I think just Nix should be enough | 17:32:22 |
| Pierre Carrier | I was hoping for a one-command build process in the flake setup | 17:32:42 |
| Pierre Carrier | haven't dug yet sorry, I'm without linux at the moment, but I'll get another wsl going | 17:33:10 |
| K900 | No one command | 17:34:21 |
| K900 | But you basically want to change the system here: https://github.com/nix-community/NixOS-WSL/blob/main/flake.nix#L39 | 17:34:35 |
| K900 | And then nix build .#nixosConfigurations.default.config.system.build.tarballBuilder | 17:34:48 |
| K900 | And then run the result of that | 17:34:59 |
| K900 | And that should produce a nixos.wsl you can install | 17:35:53 |
| Pierre Carrier | that is one command | 17:41:54 |
| K900 | At least two, technically | 17:42:09 |
| Pierre Carrier | cool cool cool, thanks | 17:42:10 |
| Pierre Carrier | it's happening. hype | 17:51:00 |

yeah I can run nix in ubuntu in wsl right The CI images are built on Ubuntu, so that should work fine | 17:52:54 |
