this includes the jump to conftrack, a custom-written configuration
library that'll hopefully be less annoying to deal with than conferer.
It's very much unstable & somewhat incomplete software for now, but
should hopefully reach a stable state soon (this deployment is thus
basically part of testing it).
It also means we can finally write camelCase in config keys without
having the config library fail on us!
This is the initial version for this year's run of absurd train
operations. I won't dare to call it a release for at least another month
or so, so no version number.
Changes done in our nixfiles:
- tracktrain now needs ntfy-sh so people (read: I) can get push
notifications if things break or at least look a little weird
- I removed the grafana instance; seems like somewhere in the last year
they changed how to host it under a sub-path (ours was at /metrics),
so it broke, and I'm not feeling any particular urge to fix it
- last year's database contents have been yoten
- also manually updated the gtfs (though I intend to implement logic
for fetching it in tracktrain, I first need to drag Ilztalbahn into
actually publishing up-to-date versions again first)
this started with emily pointing out to me that it's possible to
generate IP addresses for containers in Nix (hence no need to worry
about ever having collisions, as we had before), but then I thought,
hey, while I'm at it, I can also write a little container module so we
have a little less repetition in our configs in general (and a more
reasonable place for our custom evalConfig than just keeping it around
in flake.nix).
See the option descriptions in modules/containers.nix for further
details.
Apart from giving all containers a new IP address (and also shiny new
IPv6 addresses), this should be a no-op for the actual built system.
the bind mount module has been tweaked in a couple ways:
- rename hexchen.* to hacc.*
- rename bindmount to bindMount to make it consistent with usage in
the nixpkgs container module
- add a hacc.bindToPersist option as shorthand for prepending /perist
to a path via bind mount
the nopersist module has been shortened a little by moving
service-specific things which are used once out into the individual
service files, and removing those which we don't need at all (this also
means we get to loose a mkForce or two in case of mismatches between
hexchen's and our current config).
we decided to:
- get rid of unused packages
- simpify the directory layout since we only have one host anyways
- move our docs (such as they are) in-tree
