 tylerjl | Oh, wait, yeah, nixosSystem is the "type" that you feed into a nixosConfiguration (I think). Makes sense | 22:39:17 |
 Buckley | nixosSystem is a function that generates what goes in nixosConfigurations | 22:39:53 |

 garionion | hi, is there a way to upload single files or whole directories with colmena? | 07:44:22 |

hi, is there a way to upload single files or whole directories with colmena? This is more nix-like, but you can generally add files and directories to the nix store and copy them over by referencing them in your config. The easiest target is /etc/, but you are generally free to do as you wish by e.g. linking with systemd.tmpfiles.rules or writing a custom systemd service. Note that this approach is not suitable for secrets, as they're in the world-readable store. For these, use colmena's deployment.keys. | 08:36:34 |

| garionion | uhh, your right, i totally forgot about that (i already use it on my laptop ^^) | 08:37:50 |
| garionion | thank you ^-^ | 08:37:55 |
| CRTified | No problem 🙂 | 08:38:04 |

|  rendakuenthusiast joined the room. | 04:28:23 |
| rendakuenthusiast | I'm getting a "child process was killled by signal 11" error when I try to use colmena to remove a specific piece of configuration from a remote machine, not sure how to debug | 04:29:16 |
| rendakuenthusiast | specifically this happens when I try to remove a vhost from an nginx config | 04:29:45 |
| rendakuenthusiast | literally deleting the block because I don't need that vhost anymore | 04:29:57 |
| rendakuenthusiast | I tried renaming the vhost and that seemed to apply without a problem | 04:30:12 |
 Winter (she/her) | oh wow that's weird
i assume the vhost names don't have anything weird about them? | 04:30:46 |
| Winter (she/her) | like any weird characters or something | 04:30:53 |
| rendakuenthusiast | nope, just normal ascii urls | 04:31:00 |
| Winter (she/her) | if you run with --verbose, where is it segfaulting? eval? | 04:31:30 |
| rendakuenthusiast | is there a way I can tell what the child process is? | 04:31:31 |
| rendakuenthusiast | does colmena have a verbose option? | 04:31:54 |
| rendakuenthusiast | I'm specifically running nix-shell -p colmena --run 'colmena apply -f my-hive.nix' | 04:32:19 |
| Winter (she/her) | In reply to @winterqt:nixos.dev
if you run with --verbose, where is it segfaulting? eval? ^^, it won't show what command is being run but it'll at least show if the failure is eval or apply related | 04:34:13 |
| rendakuenthusiast | ok I'll try that | 04:36:39 |
| rendakuenthusiast | didn't help, just prints out:
(...) | Evaluation failed: Child process was killed by signal 11
| Failed: Child process was killed by signal 11
| 04:37:15 |
| rendakuenthusiast | this is nix-shell -p colmena --run 'colmena apply -f my-hive.nix --verbose' | 04:37:54 |
| Winter (she/her) | okay at least we know it's eval related... somehow.
to be clear, you can reliably reproduce this by making a single change, right? | 04:38:26 |
| Winter (she/her) | like if you revert the renaming of the vhost it works completely fine? | 04:38:37 |
| Winter (she/her) | and if you do it again it segfaults consistently? | 04:38:47 |
| rendakuenthusiast | let me try reverting the rename | 04:40:12 |
| rendakuenthusiast | ok that seems to work fine | 04:40:27 |
| rendakuenthusiast | so it's just getting rid of the block that fails | 04:40:35 |
