Notes from a NixOps beginner

by Matan Shenhav (ixxie - m.shenhav@gmail.com)

2020/07/01 - while work towards NixOps 2.0 is being committed to master

First impressions

I first looked into NixOps a few years ago, and only very briefly. Trying to get back into it again now, there are some logistical obstacles.

[tool.poetry]
name = "nixops-digitalocean"
version = "2.0"
description = "NixOps plugin for Digital Ocean"
authors = ["Robert Djubek <contact@mostlyabsurd.com>"]
license = "LGPL-3.0-only"
include = [ "nixops-digitalocean/nix/*.nix" ]

[tool.poetry.dependencies]
python = "^3.7"

I'm trying to get a toy D3 Svelte component going to explore integration strategies between the two. I'm trying to leverage Svelte bindings and D3 scales to let the chart rescale to the viewport; it seems to break the chart:

Github Action works in its own repo but not from another repo

I'm having trouble with a remote call of a github action. The issue concerns an action I created called nixosify which is designed to install my Linux distro of choice on a remote machine. The action accepts four parameters:

• target: ip of the machine to convert
• tempkey: private key to grant access to the target
• tempkey_pub: the temporary public key, used to add to the install medium
• authkey_pub: a permanent public key to add to authorized keys on the target, post install

As you can see in this successful execution of a test workflow this all seems good and well. The test workflow uses a VPS provider's CLI to create an test instance, run the test, and kill it.

hello folks; I'm working on some github CI/CD pipelines, and getting stomped with some ssh issues. I made a github action called nixosify which is an script which sshes into a VM and install a distribution on it. The nixosify repo has a test (shared in the gist) which works fine, but when I call this in a pipeline for deploying a server in another repo I am working on called mindcraft, I get ssh errors, and I cannot for the life of me figure out why the same code gives an error in one context but not the other.

I already recreated the ssh keys to ensure I didn't make a mistake there but I am having no luck here. In both cases I create the VM using the VPS provider's CLI and reference a public ssh key that I added to my account.

Towards a Nixified Social Operating System

A Strategy Proposal for the Nix Ecosystem

The Nix Ecosystem has a wonderful diversity of tools, some of which are arcane enough to take years to discover. Nixpkgs also has an impressive diversity of packages and modules; discovering what you need and integrating it into a configured stack takes time and effort.

I think it is safe to say most of us like the extensible nature of Nixified systems; we appreciate the resulting diversity of platforms which can be built on the solid foundations Nix provides. What if we start considering the Nix Ecosystem as a sort of social operating system where we exchange configurations and the culture of how to use them, allowing us to deploy systems rapidly for very diverse usecases.

This proposal tries to lean into this idea, to pursue it such a strategy to its conclusion.
