 pinpox | I'm running into an error modrobe: command not found when trying to generate an image. I left the relevant configs and logs here: https://github.com/nix-community/disko/issues/857 if someone can help debug, feel free to ping me here and I can provide any info needed | 13:19:11 |

| no-mood | Hi all :)
I've set up Disko on my existing config and now I'm trying to reinstall | 17:02:36 |
| no-mood | But when I run Disko I get this (sorry for the photo): | 17:02:48 |

| no-mood | I've removed "latest" from the url but the installer (and terminal) crashes when using Disko install | 17:41:38 |

Using a pendrive and 16gb of RAM Try again with the -j 1 flag.
| 20:01:38 |
| SigmaSquadron | It'll take longer, but it'll use less memory (and only one CPU core) | 20:01:59 |

Try again with the -j 1 flag. Where do you put it? | 20:03:56 |
| no-mood | Before the -- ? | 20:04:26 |
| SigmaSquadron | Actually since this is -install the flag is probably --option max-jobs 1
| 20:08:27 |

| no-mood | Trying that in a moment, but wouldn't it be better to use another partition? | 20:09:13 |
| no-mood | I've tried with TMPDIR (saw on reddit) to use a partition instead of /tmp (on tmpfs) without luck | 20:09:47 |
| no-mood | I even mounted /tmp on another drive, I don't understand why it's not working | 20:10:38 |

Still crashing | 20:11:02 |
| SigmaSquadron | What is the actual error? | 20:11:26 |
| no-mood | Ran out of memory | 20:14:09 |
| no-mood | I can see it only in tty, if I run the gnome terminal it crashes after a while | 20:14:35 |
| no-mood | It's this one: https://www.reddit.com/r/NixOS/comments/1cmb8up/no_space_left_on_device_during_install/ | 20:16:05 |

| no-mood | Okay, there's still one thing I'm not clear about with NixOS Anywhere.
Is there a way to install the files on the target machine's disk as if I were using nixos-install? | 01:20:43 |
 Sait | anyone here managed to set up raspberry pi 3/4 with disko? | 12:36:42 |

Is there a way to install the files on the target machine's disk as if I were using nixos-install? Which files, your systems closure?
nixos-anywhere does call nixos-install on the remote machine, see https://github.com/nix-community/nixos-anywhere/blob/51d347d35caec995d36d1450cb5bb183318c7fb7/src/nixos-anywhere.sh#L598

Yes, it's just for initial setup by default.
If you feel adventurous and have a tested backup of your data you can try rerunning the system.build.formatScript which should be idempotent but please review the script and don't blame us if it eats your data 😇
Surely I should try that... AND blame you /s :D | 16:36:01 |

| no-mood | Oh right I was referring to Disko-install | 16:46:40 |
| phaer | Arbitrary files? Maybe --extra-files helps? That one copies files from your current system into the installed target system | 16:47:19 |
