Hello, im trying to import my configuration into colmena, and Im getting the following when running "colmena build", the same configuration builds when i lib.nixosSystem it and "nixos-rebuild build" it.

 error: You're trying to define a value of type `string'
       rather than an attribute set for the option
       `system'!

       This usually happens if `system' has option
       definitions inside that are not matched. Please check how to properly define
       this option by e.g. referring to `man 5 configuration.nix'!

the stack trace is showing its happening in my configurations deployments attrset, but I dont really know enough information to go debugging from there. Is this some meta option I havent set properly?

Hey! I know there have been ideas to generalize the activation package so that colmena can be a wrapper to any activation sequence (e.g. Home Manager, NixOS, Liminix).

I now have another candidate, for which I'd be glad to make colmena my go-to tool: Mikrotik Routers managed with Nix

deployment.keys = {
  mscbot_password = {
    keyCommand = [ <something> ];
    user = "msclinkbot";
    group = "msclinkbot";
  };

My config is:

   systemd.services.msclinkbot = {
      description = "MSC Link Bot";
      after = [
        "matrix-synapse.target"
        "mscbot_password-key.service"
      ];
      wantedBy = [ "multi-user.target" ];
      serviceConfig = {
        ExecStart = ''
          ${pkgs.coreutils}/bin/cat /run/keys/mscbot_password
        '';
        Restart = "on-failure";
        User = "msclinkbot";
        Group = "msclinkbot";
      };
    };

    users = {
      users.msclinkbot = {
        group = "msclinkbot";
        isSystemUser = true;
        home = cfg.dataDir;
        createHome = true;
      };
      groups.msclinkbot = { };
    };

I can't get into the msclinkbot user because it says that it's currently unavailable
