DISNIX-SET(1)

📦 version 0.10.2, in nixos 26.05, nixpkgs unstable

💅 disnix-set — the glow-up for your profiles ✨

Okay so bestie, real talk: this is disnix-set from the disnix manual (section 1, user commands, iykyk). It updates the coordinator profile and the target Nix profiles, and honestly? It's giving maintenance era. Let me break it down for you 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

disnix-set [OPTION] MANIFEST

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So what this command actually does: it updates the coordinator profile referring to the last deployed manifest, and it updates the Disnix profiles on the target machines referring to the set of installed services. Why do we care? Because updating the profiles prevents the configuration from being garbage collected. Periodt. 💀 That's the whole point.

⚠️ Okay but listen — this command should almost never be called directly. Like, don't just run it because you feel like it, bestie. The disnix-env command invokes this command to update the profiles automatically. So it's the backup dancer, not the main character. Not me explaining this twice but it's important fr fr 🙈

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -p, --profile=PROFILE — the name of the profile in which the services are registered. Defaults to: default 🎀
  • --coordinator-profile-path=PATH — path to the manifest of the previous configuration. By default this tool will use the manifest stored in the disnix coordinator profile instead of the specified one, which is usually sufficient in most cases 💅
  • --no-coordinator-profile — specifies that the coordinator profile should not be updated 🙅‍♀️
  • --no-target-profiles — specifies that the target profiles should not be updated 🙅‍♀️
  • -h, --help — shows the usage of this command to the user, iconique behaviour honestly 💖
  • -v, --version — shows the version of this command to the user, slay 🔥
