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"
