aarch64-darwin/create-keys: cannot execute: No such file or directory (MacBook Pro M3 Max chip) about nixos-config HOT 15 CLOSED

Oh okay, in that case it may be tricky. If you want, just go inside of your template's apps/aarch64-darwin directory and change create-keys to this:

https://github.com/dustinlyons/nixos-config/blob/main/templates/starter-with-secrets/apps/aarch64-darwin/create-keys

from nixos-config.

Oops, this was my fault. Can you try again with the latest?

from nixos-config.

Hey, if you get this running okay, can you let me know? I'd love to add 'M3 Apple Silicon' to my list of confirmed working platforms. Thanks!

from nixos-config.

Also both methods for installing Nix should work. I prefer the Determinate Systems installer as it details an easier uninstall path for users.

from nixos-config.

I think we need to chmod +x the create-keys app. I missed that in the documentation.

So,

chmod +x apps/aarch64-darwin/apply && chmod +x apps/aarch64-darwin/build && chmod +x apps/aarch64-darwin/build-switch && chmod +x apps/aarch64-darwin/create-keys && chmod +x apps/aarch64-darwin/copy-keys && chmod +x apps/aarch64-darwin/check-keys

from nixos-config.

Actually, one second, I think it's all keys or no keys. Let me make it work for either key.

from nixos-config.

@dustinlyons
nix run .#build completed successfully on M3 Max chip. I'd like to spend some time reviewing the changes it will do when I finally (other day) execute nix run .#build-switch.

Thank you very much for your help today.

@dustinlyons I am getting a "permission denied" error when trying to execute nix run .#create-keys:

nix run .#create-keys

Is it necessary to use sudo?

Edit: I tried with sudo, and it didn't work neither (I guess this was expected, and sudo shouldn't be used).
I've been trying to start with nix and flakes on my machine without success, since yesterday. This is not the first template I've tried.

Should I try uninstalling everything and restart? Maybe I have garbage after the first try...

from nixos-config.

That did the trick.

However, I decided to not overwrite my already existing id_ed25519 key pair. Is it possible to keep that but generate the id_ed25519_agenix.
Sorry if I am asking too much, or something that is not possible. It's just that I already have keys that identify me, I just don't have the last one ending in _agenix.

from nixos-config.

I love all of these questions! I don't get to talk to users of this project enough, so this is really helpful for me.

I (er.. ChatGPT 😂) updated the app to first check for keys and give the user an interactive prompt; try now.

from nixos-config.

Okay, try now.

@dustinlyons
Sorry for the noob question. I've already modified the template, how do I pull the most recent changes to the template (quickly) without throwing away my work?

Edit: Also, is there a discord, irc channel, or somewhere else we could have a more convenient interchange of words?

from nixos-config.

I'm on freenode IRC if you want to jump in and chat. Channel is #nixos-config.

from nixos-config.

@dustinlyons Are you on freenode or liberachat? Just making sure.

from nixos-config.

@oscarvarto I'm on freenode in #nixos-config.
