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 (use ‘--show-trace’ to show detailed location information) 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) building the system configuration... 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 => /nix/store/6mz0jhl389h7panazs5sayrydajia1s2-acl-2.2.52/lib/libacl.so.1 (0x00007f55d0f54000) libc.so.6 => /nix/store/93zfs0zzndi7pkjkjxawlafdj8m90kg5-glibc-2.20/lib/libc.so.6 (0x00007f55d0bb7000) libattr.so.1 => /nix/store/ndszpck395bi55jnz50ny99y4pvj6dqn-attr-2.4.47/lib/libattr.so.1 (0x00007f55d09b3000) /nix/store/93zfs0zzndi7pkjkjxawlafdj8m90kg5-glibc-2.20/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (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?
