Hi Oliver, I'd greatly appreciate it if you could share your cleaned up deployment nix scripts for fynder. You're doing some really cool stuff there which is currently what I'm building out here: github.com/fractalide/nixos-infrastructure btw I've got a boot-nix which is a boot-clj.com task

[Nix-dev] Hydra.nixos.org problems

Hi, We're getting lots of Hydra errors saying: Aborted: cannot connect to ‘root@kenny’: Connection closed by 131.180.119.71 It seems to be killing lots of builds randomly. Incidentally, it might be nice if the fact that one build slave is unreachable wouldn't lead to the jobs being aborted.

Re: [Nix-dev] Pass arguments to 'required' configs

Hi Sergey, If you are not using the proxy_port and proxy_host values for selecting the modules, I suggest you use the module system instead. This means that your previous example would become something like the example below. This solution is a bit more verbose, but you might be able to

Re: [Nix-dev] [nix-dev] private NixOS modules

Hi Sergey, I think you can set the NIXOS_EXTRA_MODULE_PATH [1] environment variable to achieve that. Otherwise, you can change your configuration.nix file to always include your new module list, and to include your own real-config.nix [1]

[Nix-dev] [nix-dev] private NixOS modules

Hi. I'd like to write a couple of NixOS modules which probably don't look meaningful for large audience. Normally, we keep modules in nixpkgs/nixos/modules directory and list them in module-list.nix file. In my case, I'd like to put module in a private place (which is my git repo which keeps

[Nix-dev] Pass arguments to 'required' configs

Hi. This is a follow-up to my previous letter about Private NixOS modules. Another thing I am missing is the ability to pass arguments to 'required' configuration modules. Below is the illustration of the idea. Could you please give me some advice on this? Regards, Sergey // configuration.nix

In a fashion like udev's support, this patch allows configurations from packages to be merged in to directories for PulseAudio to read from. Currently supported directories are the alsa-mixer mdoule's profile-sets and paths. This is accomplished by patching PulseAudio to read directories from

Re: [Nix-dev] Please help me with getting the Taskserver service running

The configuration of orgnisations, groups and users is not declarative, so it will be hard to implement this part in NixOS. Best way would be to write a short script which parses a yaml/json file and then "syncs" this configuration with taskserver. Unfortunately, taskserver isn't good documented
