|
<para>This command automatically deploys a network of NixOS
|
|
configurations into a network of machines.
|
|
First, it tries to build all the system derivations defined
|
|
in the network expression. Then it efficiently transfers
|
|
the closures to the machines in the network. Finally, the configurations
|
|
are activated. In case of a failure, a rollback is performed,
|
|
which brings all the updated configurations back into the previous
|
|
state.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>A network Nix expression has the following structure:
|
|
|
|
<screen>
|
|
{
|
|
test1 = {pkgs, config, ...}:
|
|
{
|
|
services.openssh.enable = true;
|
|
nixpkgs.system = "i686-linux";
|
|
deployment.targetHost = "test1.example.net";
|
|
|
|
# Other NixOS options
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
test2 = {pkgs, config, ...}:
|
|
{
|
|
services.openssh.enable = true;
|
|
services.httpd.enable = true;
|
|
environment.systemPackages = [ pkgs.lynx ];
|
|
nixpkgs.system = "x86_64-linux";
|
|
deployment.targetHost = "test2.example.net";
|
|
|
|
# Other NixOS options
|
|
};
|
|
}
|
|
</screen>
|
|
|
|
Each attribute in the expression represents a machine in the network
|
|
(e.g. <varname>test1</varname> and <varname>test2</varname>)
|
|
referring to a function defining a NixOS configuration.
|
|
In each NixOS configuration, two attributes have a special meaning.
|
|
The <varname>deployment.targetHost</varname> specifies the address
|
|
(domain name or IP address)
|
|
of the system which is used by <command>ssh</command> to perform
|
|
remote deployment operations. The <varname>nixpkgs.system</varname>
|
|
attribute can be used to specify an architecture for the target machine,
|
|
such as <varname>i686-linux</varname> which builds a 32-bit NixOS
|
|
configuration. Omitting this property will build the configuration
|
|
for the same architecture as the host system.
