deploy-rs

Deploy-rs is a tool for managing NixOS remote machines. It was chosen for devos after the author experienced some frustrations with the stateful nature of nixops' db. It was also designed from scratch to support flake based deployments, and so is an excellent tool for the job.

By default, all the hosts are also available as deploy-rs nodes, configured with the hostname set to networking.hostName; overridable via the command line.

Usage

Just add your ssh key to the host:

{ ... }:
{
  users.users.${sshUser}.openssh.authorizedKeys.keyFiles = [
    ../secrets/path/to/key.pub
  ];
}

And the private key to your user:

{ ... }:
{
  home-manager.users.${sshUser}.programs.ssh = {
    enable = true;

    matchBlocks = {
      ${host} = {
        host = hostName;
        identityFile = ../secrets/path/to/key;
        extraOptions = { AddKeysToAgent = "yes"; };
      };
    };
  }
}

And run the deployment:

deploy "flk#hostName" --hostname host.example.com
Note:

Your user will need passwordless sudo access
