Do I want this or does that slow down things? I have the feeling that sometimes jobs just stale a longer time which may be related to that.

Also is warning: 7 concurrent database updates; PostgreSQL may be stalled normal? postgres itself seems to be happy.

I don't think it makes any sense. It pushes the required store paths to builders anyway and substituting from itself will never yield any success

How do I reset an error message like?

Aborted: error: a 'x86_64-linux' with features {gccarch-skylake} is required to build '/nix/store/fykll0wrfya0zqw51nsi9jbi0lasyfaa-closure-info.drv', but I am a 'x86_64-linux' with features {gccarch-haswell, gccarch-ivybridge, gccarch-sandybridge, gccarch-westmere} (log, raw, tail)}

Clear failed builds cache does not seem to do anything. Also why is hydra trying to build this on localhost?

My hydra machines file looks like localhost x86_64-linux - 4 5 gccarch-haswell,gccarch-ivybridge,gccarch-sandybridge,gccarch-westmere - -

You're looking for an "aggregate" job. There are some examples in Nixpkgs, I believe (look for `release.nix` or similarly-named files in `nixos/`). Also present in the Nix (the tool) flake, and probably the Hydra flake / repo as well.

What's the status of determinate's terraform hydra provider? I see a few open PRs and a latest commit on main from August - is it under active development internally, feature complete, something else?

So, after fiddling around with containerized hydra on aarch64 server and trying to get it working as a builder (and not really getting anywhere with that), we decided to go for a hydra (master) running directly on ubuntu+nix without containers. All docs I have found so far talk about installation on x86 and nixos. Any pointers to docs about installation on ubuntu+nix and/or aarch64, would be appreciated.

Ouch. Well, the server is in AWS and NixOS was not on the premade image list (surprise, surprise). and the server is up and running already. This setup was/is just fine for doing manual builds, and those are still happening, so can't just reinstall everything.
With dockerized hydra I suppose the main issue was the /nix/store setup. Also, the nixos/hydra docker image is actually ubuntu + nix and not nixos. So I was also finding it difficult to configure, as all the instructions are for setting etc/nixos/configuration.nix and you don't have that in ubuntu + nix. That's also why I asked for pointers to docs, I expect the same issue without the docker...
