🌸 DISNIXOS-GENTESTS — the group-chat edition 💅

okay so bestie, you're looking at the disnixos-gentests page from the disnixos manual — yes, the very one, section 1, User Commands energy ✨ — and I'm gonna walk you through it like we're texting at 2am, except every single flag survives the vibe check intact. no cap. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

disnixos-gentests — generates the initalialization steps of the test suite 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

disnixos-gentests [OPTION] -n network_expr [ -n network_expr2 ... ]
MANIFEST

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so the disnixos-gentests command literally generates a part of the testsuite — not the whole thing, just a piece, okay? — and that piece does two iconic things:

  1. it starts the backdoors on the machines in the network 🚪✨
  2. it deploys the services in the network of machines 💅

and the way it pulls that off is by invoking disnix-activate. that's the whole main character right there. periodt. 👑

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -n, --network=network_nix — the Network Nix expression, which declares a NixOS configuration for each machine in the network 🌈
  • --no-out-link — do not create a 'result' symlink, nope, we're not doing that today 🙈
  • --show-trace — shows a trace of the output 🔍✨
  • --use-nixops — use NixOps instead of Disnix's deployment facilities 👑
  • -h, --help — shows the usage of this command, for when you're like "wait what" 😭

🧚 ENVIRONMENT 🧚

  • DISNIXOS_USE_NIXOPS — when you set this bad boy to 1, it specifies that NixOps is used to take care of the infrastructure deployment, so that it properly interprets NixOps configurations and uses NixOps tooling instead of Disnix's deployment facilities 💜
