 no-mood | Oh right I was referring to Disko-install | 16:46:40 |
 phaer | Arbitrary files? Maybe --extra-files helps? That one copies files from your current system into the installed target system | 16:47:19 |
| no-mood | I'm not sure what was causing that problem, now it works with the --build-on-remote | 16:48:45 |
| no-mood | While with Disko-install it was crashing | 16:49:03 |

While with Disko-install it was crashing UPDATE: this was related to cosmic cache not working properly, this caused the installer to crash. Thank you :) | 13:09:16 |
| no-mood | Quick question: I couldn't find if Disko can generate a mount script to mount the drive elsewhere. Is that possible? | 13:10:16 |
 pinpox | Hello! I'm trying to generate an image that i can dd to my notebook and boot. I'm using LUKS and used the --pre-format-files /tmp/secret.key /tmp.secret.key option to set the password for encryption. But now after dd'ing it I get this error when trying to boot: | 19:32:39 |
| pinpox | (Sorry for the shitty screenshot, no idea how to take a proper one from the boot menu | 19:33:03 |

| pinpox | * (Sorry for the shitty screenshot, no idea how to take a proper one from the boot menu) | 19:33:06 |
| pinpox | It is trying to find the encryption key file on the real machine. | 19:33:23 |
| pinpox | How do I generate a LUKS encrypted disko system that asks for the password and then boots? | 19:33:44 |
 lassulus | I think the impure image script should be able to ask you for the password interactively | 19:38:23 |
| pinpox | How do I use that/make it ask? | 19:39:21 |

 @brian:bmcgee.ie | I'm having trouble mixing in a passwordFile for vmVariantWithDisko. It doesn't seem to like merging this config:

passwordFile = pkgs.writeText "secret.key" "!Pa55w0rd";
in {
raid0.content.passwordFile = passwordFile;
raid5.content.passwordFile = passwordFile;

ah that is already the impure script, but you can skip configuring a keyFile in that case | 20:18:21 |

| lassulus | that sounds like https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/254790#discussion_r1358073458 | 20:19:34 |
| @brian:bmcgee.ie | Yeah, looks like it | 20:21:41 |
| @brian:bmcgee.ie | I'll read this properly tomorrow and see if I can work around it | 20:23:30 |
