This allows setting argstr to a map of keys and values. We use jq to construct "--argstr k v" arguments, which are passed to nix-instantiate.

deploy-nixos
This is a Terraform module to deploy a NixOS system closure to a remote machine.
The system closure must be accessible by Nix-importing the repository
root and building a specific attribute
(e.g. nix-build -A ops.machines.machine-name
).
The target machine must be accessible normally over SSH, and an SSH key must be used for access.
Notably this module separates the evaluation of the system closure from building and deploying it, and uses the closure's derivation hash to determine whether a deploy is necessary.
Usage example:
module "deploy_somehost" {
source = "git::https://code.tvl.fyi/depot.git:/ops/terraform/deploy-nixos.git"
attrpath = "ops.nixos.somehost"
target_host = "somehost.tvl.su"
target_user = "someone"
target_user_ssh_key = tls_private_key.somehost.private_key_pem
}
Future work
Several things can be improved about this module, for example:
-
The repository root (relative to which the attribute path is evaluated) could be made configurable.
-
The remote system closure could be discovered to restore remote system state after manual deploys on the target (i.e. "stomping" of changes).
More ideas and contributions are, of course, welcome.
