 Wanja Hentze | * also, I recommend putting something like this in your colmena config for all hosts
environment.etc."nixos/configuration.nix".text = ''
throw "sorry, no nixos-rebuild, use colmena"
'';

| Wanja Hentze | anyway that makes it so you don't accidentally keep using nixos-rebuild on your hosts and clobber the colmena-defined config | 20:15:19 |

are you in the #community-rooms:nixos.org subspace ? oh apparently not | 07:59:17 |
| rendakuenthusiast⚡️ | is there a way I can have colmena not use every single core on my local machine when deploying, so I can still use my machine for other things while it's happening in the background? | 08:00:17 |
| rendakuenthusiast⚡️ | I'm not sure if this is a colmena setting or a general nix setting | 08:00:26 |

 @lab-cat:ag-link.xyz | I don't know of a colmena-specific solution to this, but take a look at NIX_BUILD_CORES and nix.maxjobs | 06:53:04 |

 Jane Jasperous | I am trying to use colmena to provision cloud machines using terraform. I make it well right now using nixos-rebuils trough nixos-anywhere terraform modules but I need to deploy ssh keys out of band before nixos-rebuild. Is there a way to use colmena defining deployment options as targetHost from command line or env variables?? | 07:47:57 |
| void | Jane Jasperous: did you look into agenix? | 15:41:47 |
| void | colmena has also an option to deploy keys. | 15:42:15 |
| 4 Sep 2023 |
| Jane Jasperous | sure but targetHost is a moving target, so I need to pass it with modifiers or env variables | 06:51:33 |

| @lytedev:matrix.org | hey, folks - I'm feeling pretty dumb and can't figure out where/how the configuration for the host goes in the colmena flake output - any pointers or docs or examples for my dumb brain? | 00:41:56 |

hey, folks - I'm feeling pretty dumb and can't figure out where/how the configuration for the host goes in the colmena flake output - any pointers or docs or examples for my dumb brain? here's a somewhat-edited version of my own config: https://privatebin.net/?52786ff541369743#8bjfkQW278J7Gjvsf6ph35xQkxamraf3ZzFFtE4LunGW | 08:04:31 |
| rendakuenthusiast⚡️ | where I have host-a.imports = [ ./local/configuration.nix], that was basically the configuration.nix of that machine before I was using colmena + flakes | 08:05:05 |

 aanderse | question about the experimental streaming evaluator:
is there a specific reason --evaluator streaming can't be used with colmena eval?
i read the basic description of what nix-eval-jobs is and i don't see any reason why it couldn't be used with the colmena eval command
maybe just hasn't been implemented but it could?
i would appreciate any info on this 🙇♂️
