Hi! I'm running my own Hydra instance on a non NixOS host essentially and I've never gotten evaluation logs out of it, it just fails as shown here on this link https://hydra.redalder.org/jobset/systems/master#tabs-errors where should I start digging as to why it happens? The module I'm using is heavily based on the NixOS one though so I have no idea why it's misbehaving... I might asking the obvious, but why is this a non nixos machine? There is probably a very good reason for this . | 13:08:54 |

not really tbh, i just decided at one point i want to run it in a container because why not. | 13:10:52 |

I'm starting to be really surprised this works at all, I don't have git in the module mentioned anywhere. It's not in PATH, neither is Nix which is fascinating | 13:41:32 |
| magic_rb |
nix correctly reports a failed eval from the terminal | 13:45:00 |
| nixinator | This is probably how the container is handling certainly file descriptors, or something is not quite what Perl expects . | 13:55:39 |

i've no clue, i dont see a reason why it should be misbehaving nor do i see any errors or anything like that | 13:56:48 |
| nixinator | Without seeing the logs, or reproducing the bug myself there not much I can do. Also beware that some process know when they are being run from the interactive cli or spawned from unit/systemd .. so bear that in mind . | 14:34:39 |
| magic_rb | i sent all the logs i have, nothing indicates any failure | 15:04:58 |
| nixinator | Well darn and blast . Looks like a job for dtrace then , shame they never got the licensing sorted out to use it in Linux, it’s basically the dogs bollocks. | 22:52:20 |
| nixinator | Systemtap works but is a poor alternative | 22:52:51 |

is dtrace a superior version of strace? (strace is really hard to use tbh) | 10:28:24 |
 K900 | dtrace is more like BPF tracing in the kernel | 10:29:42 |
| K900 | It's much more fine-grained than strace | 10:30:04 |
| K900 | https://github.com/iovisor/bpftrace | 10:30:53 |
 toonn | It's also a lot harder to get into IIRC. | 11:23:42 |
| toonn | But use what works for you. | 11:23:55 |
| K900 | Honestly bpftrace is pretty good | 11:26:01 |
| K900 | Solaris has way more tracepoints in the kernel though | 11:26:12 |
| K900 | But that's just a matter of time now that the infrastructure is all there | 11:26:29 |

Solaris has way more tracepoints in the kernel though That feels very far away from the room's topic tbh | 11:26:58 |
| K900 | True | 11:27:32 |
| nixinator | Your correct ! | 14:36:02 |

| @danth:danth.me | Hi, is there anywhere I can find a list of possible options for the hydra config file? | 19:39:36 |
