Continuous Integration
Generate Facts and Vars
Typically, this step is handled automatically when a machine is deployed. However, to enable the use of nix flake check with your configuration, it must be completed manually beforehand.
Currently, generating all the necessary facts requires two separate commands. This is due to the coexistence of two parallel secret management solutions: the older, stable version (clan secrets and clan facts) and the newer, experimental version (clan vars).
To generate both facts and vars, execute the following commands:
Check Configuration
Validate your configuration by running:
This command helps ensure that your system configuration is correct and free from errors.
Tip
You can integrate this step into your Continuous Integration workflow to ensure that only valid Nix configurations are merged into your codebase.
