 ElvishJerricco | should just be { imports = ...; config = lib.mkMerge [ ... ]; } | 07:56:16 |

x10an14: { imports = ...; } // lib.mkMerge [ ... ] seems busted Nix evaluates it without issue, but sure, I think that's a reasonable suggestion, thanks! | 08:01:10 |
| ElvishJerricco | frankly I'm not sure what it evaluates too, once through the module system | 08:01:31 |
| ElvishJerricco | it might just be dropping stuff, I dunno | 08:01:37 |
| ElvishJerricco | actually, when I try that I get: error: Expected a module, but found a value of type "merge".) | 08:03:27 |

Just use resolved Hmm, that requires more research... Got any hints/directions to suggest?
This diff spawned out of using "stock" nixos 25.11 + facter on a hetzner box, and wanting to add a custom DNS as top priority, with DHCP dns entries maintained after the custom one | 08:04:44 |
 K900 | Why are you using networkmanager on a hetzner box | 08:05:00 |
| K900 | In the first place | 08:05:06 |

actually, when I try that I get: error: Expected a module, but found a value of type "merge". Maybe flake-parts modules does some magic for me? | 08:05:18 |
| ElvishJerricco | that would be quite shocking | 08:05:32 |
| ElvishJerricco | it should not be fundamentally changing how the module system works | 08:05:42 |
| K900 | Oh wait | 08:06:03 |
| ElvishJerricco | I'm more worried that you're not actually importing this module and that's why it isn't throwing an error or doing what you expected it to do | 08:06:03 |
| K900 | You're NOT using networkmanager | 08:06:06 |
| K900 | You're using scripted networking | 08:06:12 |
| K900 | And trying to apply networkmanager options to it | 08:06:16 |
| K900 | I assume it's this?

Why are you using networkmanager on a hetzner box Best suggestion I found after 2h of web search and 4+ years of nixos usage searching for "add dns server to nixos without removing DHCP" | 08:07:06 |
| K900 | services.resolved.enable = true is what you want I'm pretty sure | 08:07:22 |
| K900 | And then hopefully it does the right thing | 08:07:27 |
| K900 | And if it doesn't, it's fundamentally broken | 08:07:43 |

I assume it's this? https://github.com/slackhq/nebula It's a DNS on that VPN I want that box to use as primary DNS, yes | 08:08:09 |
| ElvishJerricco | K900 the networking.useDHCP = true; line in that diff is a - line. I think they were trying to switch? | 08:08:16 |
| K900 | So it's your own custom nameserver? | 08:08:20 |
| K900 | Not something Nebula provides for you? | 08:08:25 |
| K900 | Then just put it in networking.nameservers and it should work | 08:08:43 |
| ElvishJerricco | (still none of this explains why you didn't get a module system eval error so I'm still not convinced this module is actually being imported) | 08:08:56 |

I'm more worried that you're not actually importing this module and that's why it isn't throwing an error or doing what you expected it to do It's not throwing an error, I thought I turned on networkmanager to make use of insertNamserver, and couldn't see that effectuated | 08:09:46 |
