 Claes | I am sitting more on the side due to the crowd | 16:07:28 |
| Claes | next to the street | 16:07:40 |
 lillecarl | Damn I forgot it's today 🤣 | 20:44:02 |
| lillecarl | The positive thing is someone else got the opportunity to talk then, heh | 20:44:39 |

The positive thing is someone else got the opportunity to talk then, heh we thought it was Covid! | 19:45:09 |
| lillecarl | Haha I was early on this "covid season" so it's already passed | 23:14:00 |
| lillecarl | I've got updates: dinix is finished (generate dinit configs with NixOS module system). nix-csi is alpha-quality (still need to clean up the deployment so it's usable for others). I've managed to run NixOS with it as a privileged container, nixNG as unprivileged. It's managing gcroots and hardlink directories properly etc.
Upcoming projects:
- finish nix-touch/nix-timegc (update packages regtime and use regtime in GC) (I wanna use it for nix-csi to keep build tools around without installing gcroots for them)
- build a terranix clone for terragrunt
- build a stateful kubectl apply tool (Maybe just terraform)
And I've got a gig at an old employer as a consultant, gonna build a small-scale but fully featured Kubernetes thingy

AAAND: ChromeOS is removing the dumb unprivileged LXC layer from their Linux VM thingy so "soon" we'll be able to run NixOS proper on Chromebooks (The new Lenovo CB 14 is sicccc)

| lillecarl | Aye I also "built" flake-compatish which is flake-compat but stripped down of legacy compat code (requires fetch-tree which is what flakes use), it outputs attrset { outputs = {}; impure = {}; } (where impure is just mapping away the system attr thingy). It never loads the current repo into store, it doesn't load path: inputs into store. | 23:29:14 |

 markuskowa | Let's keep the ball rolling: next meet-up on Wednesday, October 22nd. Give a thumbs if you're planning to join. | 08:09:23 |

| asoderlind | hey guys! I'm relatively new to nixos but loving it so far, mostly for self-hosting stuff on VPSes and managing dotfiles so far 😄 so cool to see there is a sthml community | 17:18:15 |

hey guys! I'm relatively new to nixos but loving it so far, mostly for self-hosting stuff on VPSes and managing dotfiles so far 😄 so cool to see there is a sthml community Hey man, welcome to NixOS and Nix! Hope to see you on the 22nd for the meetup! If you need help with anything feel free to reach out, we've got a quite experienced community here. I learned Nix by myself and it took way too much time using my typical ADHD style learning by doing 😝 | 12:29:13 |
| lillecarl | Oooof new power, I feel the creep already (/s) 😄 | 12:30:31 |
| markuskowa | @lillecarl:matrix.org: use responsibly 🙂 | 12:37:52 |

@lillecarl:matrix.org: use responsibly 🙂 Ofc I'm just kidding. I'll make sure to remind everyone about meetups. I'm not the moderator kind of guy, and this community is pretty self-moderating :p | 12:39:30 |

| lillecarl | I've spent the last two days reimplementing kubenix, but without the OpenAPI -> Nix options codegen bit. Instead it's types.anything and I generate a script that spins up an ephemeral etcd and kube-apiserver and apply the generated manifests on it. (My thought was, who is more authoritative than kube-apiserver!? for validation)!?
I also generate a script to apply the generated manifests with "kluctl" straps a label on every resource and supports pruning anything with that label which isn't in the manifest (Like kubectl --prune but less scary) :) | 18:39:03 |
| lillecarl | And it got me thinking about how nix-snapshotter does their thing with storepaths for mounting things into Kubernetes. The CI worker that runs "easykubenix" to generate manifests could set a volume attribute (storePath). Then ship the generated manifest(that now depends on the package you wanna run) to a cache and it'll be available to fetch on the worker nodes 😄 | 18:42:44 |

| lillecarl | Woooo! I've even deployed nix-csi on an external cluster today so I know the images work 😄 | 15:05:12 |
