## Deploying
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Currently the deployment process is fully manual because there is no
|
||||||
|
CI system.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Nix makes this fairly painless, though, it's simply:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
nixos-rebuild switch --use-remote-sudo --target-host tlater.net --build-host localhost --flake .#tlaternet
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This has the added benefit of running the build on the dev machine,
|
||||||
|
which is 99% of the time much faster at building than the target
|
||||||
|
(though artifact upload may take some time on slow connections).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Note that this also requires the current local user to also be present
|
||||||
|
on the target host, as well as for this user to be in the target
|
||||||
|
host's wheel group. See `nix.trustedUsers`.
