 @adam:robins.wtf | Even if you build on CI and push to cache | 23:38:12 |
 hexa | you want something that pushes the closure to the machine and switches | 23:38:37 |
| @adam:robins.wtf | Pulls but yes | 23:38:48 |
 @janik0:matrix.org | wait how would you do the deployment part without evaling anything on the remote host 🤔 | 23:38:52 |
| hexa | hmm | 23:39:10 |
| @adam:robins.wtf | You can realize a closure from a cache | 23:39:13 |

Pulls but yes so you want to build your own server saying switch to $system_closure | 23:39:16 |

Pulls but yes * so you want to build your own server saying switch to $system_closure and the remote pulls that info from the server | 23:39:33 |
| @janik0:matrix.org | * so you want to build your own server saying switch to $system_closure and the remote pulls that info from the server? | 23:39:46 |
 raitobezarius | i think it's fine to let folks create their own deployment tool | 23:39:56 |
| raitobezarius | this should be seen as a success of the nix primitives | 23:40:07 |
| @adam:robins.wtf | Janik (they/them) yes that sounds like my initial goal. | 23:40:51 |
| @adam:robins.wtf | I do hope to add more than just the deployment step itself | 23:41:27 |
 Miles Dyson | So these deployment tools will work over a network? | 23:43:12 |
| @adam:robins.wtf | Yes they all do | 23:43:43 |

this should be seen as a success of the nix primitives just like PEP517 ❤️ | 23:43:54 |

i think it's fine to let folks create their own deployment tool ofc, I'm of the opinion if you don't bring unique things why bother building a new one (except for learning purposes) if you can instead contribute to a existing ones, but that's my personal stance to most foss software in general. | 23:44:11 |
| Miles Dyson | What is the difficukt part about NixOS? | 23:44:38 |
| hexa | moving on? | 23:44:49 |

So these deployment tools will work over a network? most use ssh yes. | 23:44:51 |
| hexa | not becoming a contributor to scratch your itch? | 23:45:12 |
| @adam:robins.wtf | I’m not usually one to reinvent the wheel. What I’m designing is different enough in architecture that I don’t think there is an equivalent OSS tool | 23:45:15 |

| raitobezarius | In reply to @hexa:lossy.network
just like PEP517 ❤️🐍 fight me | 23:46:23 |
| hexa | I do, every day all day | 23:46:32 |

I’m not usually one to reinvent the wheel. What I’m designing is different enough in architecture that I don’t think there is an equivalent OSS tool to extend yeah, I think your use case is fine (I should have asked what you are missing before doing my hot take... sorry), but I guess you can take some inspiration from https://github.com/nlewo/comin | 23:46:49 |

| raitobezarius | we didn't invent yet The One True Architecture for deployment tool | 23:47:01 |
| hexa | nix-netboot-serve is a pull based solution without the target machine needing to eval 🤔 | 23:47:58 |
