It's possible I'm getting the wrong idea about what nixops is for, but I used
it to set up an Amazon EC2 instance with the idea of logging into the server
and administering it using local commands afterward. The initial install goes
fine. Afterward I clone my nixcfg repo (including nixpkgs submodule) and try to
set it up the way I would a physical machine, by copying everything from
/etx/nixos/* into nixcfg/configs/cyno.nix and modifying it to
point inside the repo:
{ config, pkgs, ... }:
{
imports = [
../nixpkgs/nixos/modules/virtualization/amazon-config.nix
];
ec2.hvm = true;
services.journald.rateLimitBurst = 0;
}
When I do a `nixos-rebuild` (part of install.sh) though, it gives this error:
[root@cyno:~/nixcfg]# ./install.sh test
building Nix...
error: getting status of
‘/root/nixcfg/nixpkgs/nixos/modules/virtualization/amazon-config.nix’: No such
file or directory

error: getting status of
‘/root/nixcfg/nixpkgs/nixos/modules/virtualization/amazon-config.nix’: No such
file or directory
(use ‘--show-trace’ to show detailed location information)
Now I notice something strange:
/root/nixcfg/nixpkgs/nixos/modules/virtualization/amazon-config.nix exists, but
`ls` throws an error when listing it:
ls /root/nixcfg/nixpkgs/nixos/modules/virtualization/amazon-config.nix
ls: cannot access
/root/nixcfg/nixpkgs/nixos/modules/virtualization/amazon-config.nix: No such
file or directory
If I approach it "slowly" by listing /root/nixcfg, then /root/nixcfg/nixpkgs,
all the way to the full path it *does* work. I googled around a little and
according to this:
http://superuser.com/questions/446280/no-such-file-or-directory
The error can also mean a missing dynamically linked library. So I tried ldd as
directed (though I don't understand the output), and got this:
ldd $(which ls)
linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fff01dec000)
libacl.so.1 =>

libattr.so.1 =>

(0x00007f55d115c000)
Anyway I think there's something wrong with how the system is set up, but not
sure what. Is there a correct way to bootstrap it to the point of using
the same config as my other machines?
Thanks
Jeff
