i'm reading the source code to see if what i'm currently coding is too similar from an architectual perspective and if it wouldn't be better to just create a PR, so more stupid questions may arise if that's okay :p If the module option is improperly named or is in the wrong place, please suggest something else, would love it | 13:31:16 |

 colemickens | hi yall, I'm trying to use a Hetzner volume for nix+home, but when I do this, it breaks nixos-anywhere: https://github.com/colemickens/nixcfg/commit/905507248b37c782a69d7fbd1ab1509e750b743b | 02:34:54 |
| colemickens | any advice? | 02:34:56 |
| colemickens | machine will boot into nixos in 6s...
+ echo machine will boot into nixos in 6s...
+ test -e /dev/kmsg
+ exec
Warning: Permanently added '94.130.73.187' (ED25519) to the list of known hosts.

and it just repeats the last line forever

| colemickens | If I don't enable disk2, the naive regular hetzner nixos-anywhere deploy seems to work fine. | 02:35:35 |
| colemickens | (fixing disk2.content.partitions."nix".name doesn't seem to fix it) | 02:42:48 |
| colemickens | does disko have an idempotent mode of operation? I want to use it with nixos-anywhere to have ephemeral hetzner instances with a persistent volume | 04:29:36 |
| colemickens | initial tests indicates that disko seems to happily just reformat the persistent disk :/ | 04:29:48 |
| colemickens | surely there must be a "skipFormat" option i can set for subsequent deploys after initial setup, right? | 04:30:11 |
| lassulus | The formatScript should be idempotent | 06:01:12 |
| colemickens | lassulus: can you say more? When I deploy a Hetzner box with an attached disk, run nixos-anywhere, write a file into my /home, and then repeat the process, the /home is wiped and fresh. | 15:51:49 |
| lassulus | yes, nixos-anywhere runs the diskoScript | 15:55:06 |
| lassulus | that one runs the deactivate-disk script, this one destroys the disk | 15:55:19 |
| lassulus | just running the formatScript output from disko would not kill the disk | 15:55:32 |
| colemickens | I wonder how hard it would be to hack at nixos-anywhere to give it a flag to skip the deactive-disk. | 16:32:22 |
| lassulus | should be already possible, you are using flakes I guess? you could say something like:
system.build.diskoScript = lib.mkForce (pkgs.writeScriptBin "disko-without-wipe" ''
${config.system.build.formatScript}
${config.system.build.mountScript}
'');
| 16:37:09 |
| lassulus | btw, why are you running nixos-anywhere again? | 16:37:24 |
| lassulus | you can also just use nixos-rebuild --target-host | 16:37:40 |
