# Nixinate 🕶️
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Nixinate is a proof of concept that generates a deployment script for each
|
||
|
|
`nixosConfiguration` you already have in your flake, which can be ran via `nix
|
||
|
|
run`, thanks to the `apps` attribute of the [flake
|
||
|
|
schema](https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Flakes#Flake_schema).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Usage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To add and configure `nixinate` in your own flake, you need to:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Add the result of `nixinate self` to the `apps` attribute of your flake.
|
||
|
|
2. Add and configure `_module.args.nixinate` to the `nixosConfigurations` you want to deploy
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Below is a minimal example:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```nix
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
inputs = {
|
||
|
|
nixpkgs.url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs/nixos-21.11";
|
||
|
|
nixinate.url = "github:matthewcroughan/nixinate";
|
||
|
|
};
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
outputs = { self, nixpkgs, nixinate }: {
|
||
|
|
apps = nixinate.nixinate.x86_64-linux self;
|
||
|
|
nixosConfigurations = {
|
||
|
|
myMachine = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
|
||
|
|
modules = [
|
||
|
|
(import ./my-configuration.nix)
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
_module.args.nixinate = {
|
||
|
|
host = "itchy.scratchy.com";
|
||
|
|
sshUser = "matthew";
|
||
|
|
};
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
# ... other configuration ...
|
||
|
|
];
|
||
|
|
};
|
||
|
|
};
|
||
|
|
};
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Each `nixosConfiguration` you have configured should have a deployment script in
|
||
|
|
`apps.nixinate`, visible in `nix flake show` like this:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
$ nix flake show
|
||
|
|
git+file:///etc/nixos
|
||
|
|
├───apps
|
||
|
|
│ └───nixinate
|
||
|
|
│ └───myMachine: app
|
||
|
|
└───nixosConfigurations
|
||
|
|
└───myMachine: NixOS configuration
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To finally execute the deployment script, use `nix run .#apps.nixinate.myMachine`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### Example Run
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
[root@myMachine:/etc/nixos]# nix run .#apps.nixinate.myMachine
