| Astro | this room's topic seems to be missing a url. how do I actually declaratively manage your switching, routing, wireless, tunneling and more? | 19:10:12 |
 dash | "more than one way" | 19:10:34 |
| Astro | I am currently generating expect scripts but that's not great. | 19:10:51 |
| dash | my attempt so far has involved generating shell scripts or json | 19:11:12 |
| Astro | for managed switches I'm looking for code that can parse the current configuration to apply a delta, ideally for cross vendors :) | 19:12:18 |

| dash | yeah that's a steep hill to climb | 19:13:34 |

| dminuoso | Anyone here have had luck installing nixos on Mellanox SN2xxx switches? | 08:18:02 |
| dminuoso | Im really itching for this to work. :) | 08:18:13 |
| dminuoso | Last time I tried even booting a nixos image, it would just hang with no output in initramfs, and after some hours without any progress I just gave up | 08:18:47 |
 hexa | guess most of us don't have those exactly lying around | 11:14:56 |
| dminuoso | If you are interested enough, Im sure I could have a sample send your way. :-) | 11:40:59 |
| dminuoso | hexa: Honestly, I would have thought differently. They're one of the very few carrier grade switches running almost untainted linux with mostly open source stuff ontop. | 11:42:32 |
| hexa | correct, carrier grade 🙂 | 11:44:02 |
| dminuoso | Think I get your point. | 11:44:42 |
| hexa | I think your company is one of a few that runs NixOS on prod infra | 11:50:49 |
| hexa | and you kinda need a carrier that is not stuck with cisco/juniper gear 😛 | 11:52:18 |

| hexa | pretty sure we can get one of those going remotely, given enough ideas 🙂 | 11:55:39 |
| hexa | we we played with an SN2100 at MRMCD2018 I believe. Installed Debian to it. | 11:56:09 |

| dminuoso | hexa: Yeah, cumulus linux is actually just a modified debian. | 11:56:28 |
 eyJhb | dminuoso: do you have source for what you have tried right now? :) | 11:56:30 |
| dminuoso | nixinator: Might do. Send me your details. :) | 11:56:37 |
| hexa | 16x 100G and 30k routes | 11:56:38 |
| nixinator | dm me your email, and a bit about yourself, and who you work for... and we'll see. | 11:57:14 |
