Usage via Inventory

Roles

This module can be used via predefined roles

default

Every role has its own configuration options, which are each listed below.

For more information, see the inventory guide.

Example

For example the admin module adds the following options globally to all machines where it is used.

clan.admin.allowedkeys

This means there are two equivalent ways to set the allowedkeys option. Either via a nixos module or via the inventory interface. But it is recommended to keep together imports and config to preserve locality of the module configuration.

InventoryNixOS

clan-core.lib.buildClan {
    inventory.services = {
        admin.me = {
            roles.default.machines = [ "jon" ];
            config.allowedkeys = [ "ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAABgQD..." ];
        };
    };
};

clan-core.lib.buildClan {
    machines = {
        jon = {
            clan.admin.allowedkeys = [ "ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAABgQD..." ];
            imports = [ clanModules.admin ];
        };
    };
};

Options of `default` role

The deltachat default doesnt offer / require any options to be set.

Usage via Nix

This module can be also imported directly in your nixos configuration. Although it is recommended to use the inventory interface if available.

Some modules are considered 'low-level' or 'expert modules' and are not available via the inventory interface.

{config, lib, inputs, ...}: {
    imports = [ inputs.clan-core.clanModules.deltachat ];
    # ...
}

** This module doesnt require any options to be set.**
