From 2451dceb0cf2b0b4e5b1815dd28fb480ba1d5956 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: tv Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2026 17:07:28 +0000 Subject: krops writeDeploy: add flake parameter With flake set, nixos-rebuild deploys that flake from the build target's source directory, with flakes enabled for the command. The deployment fails with an error message unless Nix on the build target supports flakes. --- README.md | 10 ++++++++++ 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+) (limited to 'README.md') diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 39ed6cb..7c17d6d 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -129,6 +129,16 @@ architecture.
