All issues and Pull Requests are welcome!
|
|
|
|
For Pull Requests, if they are substantial changes, please open an issue to discuss the details
|
|
first.

## Chat Support {#contributing-chat}

|
|
Come hang out in the [Matrix channel](https://matrix.to/#/%23selfhostblocks%3Amatrix.org). :)

## Upstream Changes {#contributing-upstream}
|
|
|
|
Along the way, I made quite a few changes to the ubderlying nixpkgs module I'm using. I intend to
|
|
upstream to nixpkgs as much of those as makes sense.
|
|
|
|
## Run tests {#contributing-runtests}
|
|
|
|
Run all tests:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ nix build .#checks.${system}.all
|
|
# or
|
|
$ nix flake check
|
|
# or
|
|
$ nix run github:Mic92/nix-fast-build -- --skip-cached --flake ".#checks.$(nix eval --raw --impure --expr builtins.currentSystem)"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Run one group of tests:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ nix build .#checks.${system}.modules
|
|
$ nix build .#checks.${system}.vm_postgresql_peerAuth
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Run one VM test interactively:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ nix run .#checks.${system}.vm_postgresql_peerAuth.driverInteractive
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
When you get to the shell, run either `start_all()` or `test_script()`. The former just starts all
|
|
the VMs and service, then you can introspect. The latter also starts the VMs if they are not yet and
|
|
then will run the test script.
|
|
|
|
## Upload test results to CI {#contributing-upload}
|
|
|
|
Github actions do now have hardware acceleration, so running them there is not slow anymore. If
|
|
needed, the tests results can still be pushed to cachix so they can be reused in CI.
|
|
|
|
After running the `nix-fast-build` command from the previous section, run:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ find . -type l -name "result-vm_*" | xargs readlink | nix run nixpkgs#cachix -- push selfhostblocks
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Deploy using colmena {#contributing-deploy-colmena}
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ nix run nixpkgs#colmena -- apply
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Use a local version of selfhostblocks {#contributing-localversion}
|
|
|
|
This works with any flake input you have. Either, change the `.url` field directly in you `flake.nix`:
|
|
|
|
```nix
|
|
selfhostblocks.url = "/home/me/projects/selfhostblocks";
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or override on the command line:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ nix flake lock --override-input selfhostblocks ../selfhostblocks
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
I usually combine the override snippet above with deploying:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ nix flake lock --override-input selfhostblocks ../selfhostblocks && nix run nixpkgs#colmena -- apply
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Diff changes {#contributing-diff}
|
|
|
|
First, you must know what to compare. You need to know the path to the nix store of what is already deployed and to what you will deploy.
|
|
|
|
### What is deployed {#contributing-diff-deployed}
|
|
|
|
To know what is deployed, either just stash the changes you made and run `build`:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ nix run nixpkgs#colmena -- build
|
|
...
|
|
Built "/nix/store/yyw9rgn8v5jrn4657vwpg01ydq0hazgx-nixos-system-baryum-23.11pre-git"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or ask the target machine:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ nix run nixpkgs#colmena -- exec -v readlink -f /run/current-system
|
|
baryum | /nix/store/77n1hwhgmr9z0x3gs8z2g6cfx8gkr4nm-nixos-system-baryum-23.11pre-git
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### What will get deployed {#contributing-diff-todeploy}
|
|
|
|
Assuming you made some changes, then instead of deploying with `apply`, just `build`:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ nix run nixpkgs#colmena -- build
|
|
...
|
|
Built "/nix/store/16n1klx5cxkjpqhrdf0k12npx3vn5042-nixos-system-baryum-23.11pre-git"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Get the full diff {#contributing-diff-full}
|
|
|
|
With `nix-diff`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ nix run nixpkgs#nix-diff -- \
|
|
/nix/store/yyw9rgn8v5jrn4657vwpg01ydq0hazgx-nixos-system-baryum-23.11pre-git \
|
|
/nix/store/16n1klx5cxkjpqhrdf0k12npx3vn5042-nixos-system-baryum-23.11pre-git \
|
|
--color always | less
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Get version bumps {#contributing-diff-version}
|
|
|
|
A nice summary of version changes can be produced with:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ nix run nixpkgs#nvd -- diff \
|
|
/nix/store/yyw9rgn8v5jrn4657vwpg01ydq0hazgx-nixos-system-baryum-23.11pre-git \
|
|
/nix/store/16n1klx5cxkjpqhrdf0k12npx3vn5042-nixos-system-baryum-23.11pre-git \
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Generate random secret {#contributing-gensecret}
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ nix run nixpkgs#openssl -- rand -hex 64
|
|
```
|
|
|
