@lassulus:lassul.uslassulusyou would have to run disko manually for that to work, there should be support now for incremental updates, but that is very new and can cause data loss. so do that with care :) I can you can also just run the commands for the new disk manually by inspecting the generated script14:08:57
@mannp:mannuk.rocksmannp ⚡️I see, thanks for the quick response, just adding context in case it matters, I am using luks and btrfs for my main disk and have created the defn for luks and btrfs with one subvol /storage device in disko, but I am not sure if I am going to wipe out my main boot disk too 🙂14:19:46
@lassulus:lassul.uslassuluswell disko should not wipe it out, but better have backups ;)14:21:35
@mannp:mannuk.rocksmannp ⚡️lol, okay14:23:13
@mannp:mannuk.rocksmannp ⚡️so I can use --dry-run to just get the script it seems, but am I perhaps able to pull out just the storage defn in the flake and ignore the boot disk defn?14:24:06
@mannp:mannuk.rocksmannp ⚡️Does disko support 2 luks encrypted devices in the same config as nix is complaining of multiple luks device definitions ... back to the manual I guess 🙂14:30:08
@lassulus:lassul.uslassulusit should, but it needs different names14:30:46
@mannp:mannuk.rocksmannp ⚡️Apologies, rookie copy and paste error14:34:42
@mannp:mannuk.rocksmannp ⚡️I am using "passwordFile = "/tmp/secret.key";" and unlocking the root luks partition is interactive, but the second cryptstorage is not. it fails to find the partiton due to lack of password. Does the second luks device have to be defined differantly?15:05:31

@mannp:mannuk.rocksmannp ⚡️When I have the flake inputs.disko.nixosModules.disko defined in my machine config, is that purely for mounting the disks? It doesn't run any further formatting post initial installation?15:16:17
@mannp:mannuk.rocksmannp ⚡️seems its a pre install tool not post, unless I am missing something from the manual. Will go the manual formatting route. cheers15:36:06

@lassulus:lassul.uslassulus Enzime: is helping out with maintaining disko from now on, please welcome him kindly :) 11:46:47
@colemickens:matrix.orgcolemickensI found it a bit tricky to do this right, how can I better specify these partition start/ends that don't leave such awkward gaps: https://github.com/colemickens/nixcfg/blob/06d838e8abe1392433c3ddf08cff23da381f7cee/hosts/h96maxv58/base.nix#L80-L11021:39:51
@lassulus:lassul.uslassulusYou can do start = 0. sgdisk will choose the next free block then21:51:07
@lassulus:lassul.uslassulusWhich is also the default21:51:16
@colemickens:matrix.orgcolemickensthe problem with start=0 is ordering22:02:24
@colemickens:matrix.orgcolemickensesp with it hoisting ESP to be partition 122:05:37
@colemickens:matrix.orgcolemickens well I don't know why ESP is being made first, maybe it's alpha sorted by default (since I'm using EF00 not EF02). anyway, I'll set priority. Now just looking for growpart. 22:18:42
@colemickens:matrix.orgcolemickensI keep doing it by hand and forgetting to set the part label and causing myself a lot of pain.22:18:59
@colemickens:matrix.orgcolemickensoh I guess that's a system-level nixos option. hm22:34:51
@colemickens:matrix.orgcolemickensI seriously love disko so much. I wish I could fund someone to make a non-VM install process, with lanzaboote, bootspec, etc. I don't think it's that outlandish. If one could compose images with cross-compiled systems without needing to involve qemu, that would just be "end-game".22:51:10
@colemickens:matrix.orgcolemickensstill, doing a native build, using disko, and then pivoting to a cross-built system is still such a nicer experience than sdcard or other things people do to get nixos on weird platforms. I'm excited to use it for ec2 image as well.22:52:21

@arjan5:matrix.orgarjan5 colemickens Not sure if it's what you're looking for, but nixos-anywhere can install different-arch systems remotely, even for configs containing disko, lanzaboote, impermanence, etc. I have done this before. 09:12:30
@lassulus:lassul.uslassulusLanzaboote needs interaction with the efi/bios to deploy your keys there. But I guess everything else could be done by the image builder12:43:32
