What's Changed

New Features

• Allow to customize starting hostname instead of hardcoded myskarabox.

Breaking Changes

• Remove hostId file and directly set the value in the host's configuration.nix file.

• Remove ssh_port and ssh_boot_port files and directly set the value in the host's configuration.nix file.

• Remove ip and system files and directly set the value in the host's flake.nix file.

• Added skarabox.hosts.<name>.pkgs option to allow overriding pkgs.lib.

    skarabox.hosts = {
      myskarabox = {
          nixpkgs = inputs.selfhostblocks.lib.${system}.patchedNixpkgs;
  +       pkgs = inputs.selfhostblocks.lib.${system}.pkgs;
      };
    };

• Removed system from nixosModules flake output.

  - inputs.selfhostblocks.nixosModules.${system}.default
  + inputs.selfhostblocks.nixosModules.default

Fixes

• Fix multiple hosts overwriting each other in flake outputs.
• Beacon script can be run a darwin guests.

Other Changes

• known_hosts file is generated also with the host's ip without the port.

New Contributors

• @dvicory made their first contribution in #144

Commits: v1.1.0...v1.2.0

What's Changed

• Make colmena and deploy-rs optional.
• Add integration with SelfHostBlocks in flake template.
• Make nixosSystem function take patch to modules and lib too.
• Add preliminary support for darwin hosts. Fixed some binary commands incompatibilities.
  It works as long as you can cross-compile to the target system.
• Allow to pass most options requiring a file as the string value itself instead.

Commits: v1.0.2...v1.1.0

Bump flake inputs and make the github action actually fail correctly.

This release adds integration with the sibling SelfHostBlocks project.

This was done in this PR from Skarabox side #68 and this one from SelfHostBlocks side ibizaman/selfhostblocks#474

• Use flake-parts to create a flake module per host and reduce flake.nix to absolute minimum.
• All variants (one or two OS drive, zero or two data drives) are tested in CI.
• Static IP is tested in CI.
• Add scripts to generate scaffolding and secrets for new host.
• Add manual and reference readme to it, which allows to keep offline documentation always up to date.
• Group ZFS options per pool.
• Add WiFi hotspot to beacon.
• Use static IP in beacon, allowing to use same IP for beacon and host.
• Use optionally static IP on host and at initrd stage.
• Use same username in beacon and host.
• Handle copying extra secrets on installation.
• Share values between flake module and nixos modules.
• Add recovery instructions.
• Add colmena as deployment tool.

Full Changelog: v0.4.0...v1.0.0

This release makes the SOPS file finally useful. It now stores the user's password as well as the root and data ZFS pools' respective passphrases. This file is generated automatically.

What's Changed

• use sops file to store secrets by @ibizaman in #19
• improvements related to sops management by @ibizaman in #20

Full Changelog: v0.3.0...v0.4.0

Instead of asking the user to figure out which drivers to use, let nixos-facter do it.

It actually adds one step to the full installation process but it's definitely worth it.

Under the hood, this release also makes the CI dynamically generate one GitHub job per test, for when we'll have more than one.

What's Changed

• force host keys for ssh daemon by @ibizaman in #13
• Add architecture documentation by @ibizaman in #15
• separate vm from host tweaks in readme by @ibizaman in #16
• generate matrix for tests in CI by @ibizaman in #17
• use nixos-facter for hardware detection by @ibizaman in #14
• update documentation about nixos-facter by @ibizaman in #18

Full Changelog: v0.2.0...v0.3.0

This release takes inspiration from the demo and simplifies the installation steps. We don’t need the demo anymore.

This release adds a demo to the Skarabox flake
