@annaaurora:artemislena.euAnna AuroraI am generating NixOS images with disko and then flashing them onto a USB flash drive. When trying to boot from if though, it can't find the device specified via /dev/disk/by-partlabel by disko. When booted into my regular NixOS install the disks exist though under /dev/disk/by-partlabel if the USB flash drive is plugged in.15:46:16

@sylvie:karp.lolSylvie (she/it) 🏳️‍⚧️ok so I just deployed to a system that was setup with disko. flake based config, the module is enabled. disko config has changed, namely zfs datasets were added. nothing happened. no new datasets were created. is that by design?12:24:14
@sylvie:karp.lolSylvie (she/it) 🏳️‍⚧️what I had hoped to get out of disko was mostly declaratively defined zfs datasets, that I can just create by adding them to my config, but it seems I was wrong and that isn't a thing.12:28:13

It's only a think on initial setup AFAIK.

Yes, it's just for initial setup by default.

If you feel adventurous and have a tested backup of your data you can try rerunning the system.build.formatScript which should be idempotent but please review the script and don't blame us if it eats your data 😇

@sylvie:karp.lolSylvie (she/it) 🏳️‍⚧️I see I see. So unfortunately current disko isn't really what I wanted. 😅18:00:49
@sylvie:karp.lolSylvie (she/it) 🏳️‍⚧️Guess I'll have to eventually try writing my own module for this...18:01:02

@phaer:matrix.orgphaerWould have been nice to see how it works for you and improve disko if/where needed with the lessons learned :)08:40:01
@phaer:matrix.orgphaer

If you want to start out with your own module and just need a solution specifically to add zfs datasets, it might be helpful to know about

nixosConfigurations.$hostname.config.disko.devices.zpool.$poolname.datasets."$dataset"._create which gives you the command diskos formatScript would use to create the dataset. That's already idempotent. Sylvie (she/it) 🏳️‍⚧️

do you have any timeline for when post-setup configuration might be ready?

@tye-x:matrix.orgtye-xor anyway i could help with this?20:26:15

@kamillaova:matrix.orgKamilla 'ova Is there a way to run a command after creating a filesystem with disko?
I want to run mkdir $target/{home,nix} to allow these directories binding to their real locations, e.g. something like this

fileSystems."/nix" = {
	device = "/persist/nix";
	fsType = "none";
	options = [ "bind" ];

@pinpox:matrix.orgpinpox I'm running into an error modrobe: command not found when trying to generate an image. I left the relevant configs and logs here: https://github.com/nix-community/disko/issues/857 if someone can help debug, feel free to ping me here and I can provide any info needed 13:19:11
