 David Arnold (blaggacao) | https://github.com/divnix/bud/blob/main/scripts/hosts-install.bash seems to (tacitly) require additional inputs | 20:55:28 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | like coreutils, I guess in this case. | 20:55:44 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | I'm disappointed on how "reproducible" most of those things are | 20:56:09 |
 @kraftnix:matrix.org | on a semi-related debugging note, it would be really nice if i could set a debug command on bud which tells me what commands it actually ends up running after all the substitutions | 20:57:00 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | bud scripts have a very limited environment: https://github.com/divnix/bud/blob/231fa20ed93944e5b484cb5d820c60c17f4dfc35/writeBashWithPaths.nix#L4 | 20:57:30 |

| David Arnold (blaggacao) | We'd be able to map a BUD_DEBUG to the script environment, though. | 20:59:43 |
| @kraftnix:matrix.org | that could be useful | 21:00:17 |
| @kraftnix:matrix.org | but back to the current issue, anyway I can add coreutils to bud's install script from my iso? | 21:00:50 |

| David Arnold (blaggacao) | Otherwise you can implement custom bud scripts, like so: https://github.com/divnix/devos/blob/f69737301f5cfcc72bab125175df8421f6a52c64/flake.nix#L154-L156 | 21:01:56 |
| @kraftnix:matrix.org | i guess using the custom command with a modified version of bud to test is the way to go | 21:02:43 |
 @timdeh:matrix.org | hmm I guess I need to take a closer look at bud to understand all this 😆 | 21:03:01 |
| @kraftnix:matrix.org | so I tried a shortcut (which could be causing this next issue), I changed the bud install writer like:
install.writer = lib.mkForce (budUtils.writeBashWithPaths [ installPkgs.nixos-install git mercurial coreutils ]);
but not I get
Please specify the name of the NixOS configuration to be installed, as a URI fragment in the flake-uri.
For example, to use the output nixosConfigurations.foo from the flake.nix, append "#foo" to the flake-uri.
:(
| 21:10:01 |
| @kraftnix:matrix.org | Followup, looks like the flake URI is malformed in bud
[nixos]$ bud install mynewhost
++ HOST=mynewhost
++ attr='/home/nixos/devos#"mynewhost"'
++ nixos-install --flake '/home/nixos/devos#"mynewhost"'
you can do nixos-install --flake /home/nixos/devos#"mynewhost" but you can't also wrap it in ''
| 21:17:36 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | wasn't there a recent pr to fix nixos-install for flake users? Has this been integrated yet? | 21:20:52 |
| @kraftnix:matrix.org | was nixos-install broken for flake users? i've never had an issue with it yet | 21:21:20 |

Damn it! I have immediate plans to move all this brittle nixos stuff to rock solid deploy-rs | 21:22:52 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | BUt I had to leanr rust first to teach deploy-rs how to consume our "sensible defaults" according to context. | 21:23:19 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | * But I had to learn rust first to teach deploy-rs how to consume our "sensible defaults" according to context. | 21:23:34 |
| @kraftnix:matrix.org | looking forward to yeeting everything | 21:23:39 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | My plan was to have something by the end of the day, but the clock is ticking :D | 21:23:58 |
| @kraftnix:matrix.org | yeet install 🤣 | 21:24:02 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | No it would be yeet <myprofile> | 21:24:25 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | or yeet <myhots.myprofile> | 21:24:38 |
| @kraftnix:matrix.org | so would it automagically know it needs to run a nixos install? | 21:24:48 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | * or yeet <my-other-host.myprofile> | 21:24:51 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | In reply to @kraftnix:matrix.org
so would it automagically know it needs to run a nixos install? Good question, I bleeive the only fundamental difference is to yeet a system profile to a special /mnt | 21:25:47 |

| David Arnold (blaggacao) | We could make the boostrapIso, so that you can yeet newhost.profile onto that host over the link lokal connection. Maybe. | 21:26:37 |
