apparently the 7.1.x series is now old enough that even though it
does still get security fixes, the mattermost team no longer mentions
this on their blog, so we missed out on a couple. fun!
upsides:
- we will no longer get confused about which state is currently deployed
downsides:
- deploys get slower, since it has to uploads the entire haccfiles each time
today i woke up to the realisation that there's an extremely obvious way
to make these nicer, & then i did exactly that. For some reason I did
not think of this when originally removing the dependency to nix-hexchen's
evalConfig.
unfortunately, this is not /quite/ a no-op. The only actual change is
different whitespace in some of the semantically-equivalent
coredns-configs that got unified.
this replaces niv with nix flakes, attempting to preserve the old
structure as much as possible. Notable caveats:
- I'm not sure if flake inputs expose version information anywhere, so
the version in pkgs/mattermost/default.nix is now hardcoded.
Confusingly, this appears to trigger a rebuild. Maybe I've missed something.
- a lot of the old-style host.nix & deploy.nix machinery in nix-hexchen
does not work with flakes, and their newer replacements are not exposed
by upstream; I've put basic imitations of the relevant parts in this repo
- (in particular, directories in hosts/ won't become deployable configs
automatically)
- parts of the code are now probably more complicated than they'd have to be
- old variables names were preserved; confusingly, this means the flake
inputs are still called "sources"
