# krops (krebs ops)
krops is a lightweigt toolkit to deploy NixOS systems, remotely or locally.
## Some Features
- store your secrets in [password store](https://www.passwordstore.org/)
- build your system remotely
- minimal overhead (it's basically just `nixos-rebuild switch`!)
- run from custom nixpkgs branch/checkout/fork
## Minimal Example
Create a file named `krops.nix` (name doesn't matter) with following content:
```
let
krops = (import <nixpkgs> {}).fetchgit {
url = https://cgit.krebsco.de/krops/;
rev = "3022582ade8049e6ccf18f358cedb996d6716945";
sha256 = "0k3zhv2830z4bljcdvf6ciwjihk2zzcn9y23p49c6sba5hbsd6jb";
};
lib = import "${krops}/lib";
pkgs = import "${krops}/pkgs" {};
source = lib.evalSource [{
nixpkgs.git = {
clean.exclude = ["/.version-suffix"];
ref = "4b4bbce199d3b3a8001ee93495604289b01aaad3";
url = https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs;
};
nixos-config.file = toString (pkgs.writeText "nixos-config" ''
{ pkgs, ... }: {
fileSystems."/" = { device = "/dev/sda1"; };
boot.loader.systemd-boot.enable = true;
services.openssh.enable = true;
environment.systemPackages = [ pkgs.git ];
users.users.root.openssh.authorizedKeys.keys = [
"ssh-rsa ADD_YOUR_OWN_PUBLIC_KEY_HERE user@localhost"
];
}
'');
}];
in
pkgs.krops.writeDeploy "deploy" {
source = source;
target = "root@YOUR_IP_ADDRESS_OR_HOST_NAME_HERE";
}
```
and run `$(nix-build --no-out-link krops.nix)` to deploy the target machine.
Under the hood, this will make the sources available on the target machine
below `/var/src`, and execute `nixos-rebuild switch -I /var/src`.
## Source Types
### `derivation`
Nix expression to be built at the target machine.
Supported attributes:
* `text` -
Nix expression to be built.
### `file`
The file source type transfers local files (and folders) to the target
using [`rsync`](https://rsync.samba.org/).
Supported attributes:
* `path` -
absolute path to files that should by transfered
* `useChecksum` (optional) -
boolean that controls whether file contents should be checked to decide
whether a file has changed. This is useful when `path` points at files
with mangled timestamps, e.g. the Nix store.
### `git`
Git sources that will be fetched on the target machine.
Supported attributes:
* `url` -
URL of the Git repository that should be fetched.
* `ref` -
Branch / tag / commit that should be fetched.
* `clean.exclude` -
List of patterns that should be excluded from Git cleaning.
### `pass`
The pass source type transfers contents from a local
[password store](https://www.passwordstore.org/) to the target machine.
Supported attributes:
* `dir` -
absolute path to the password store.
* `name` -
sub-directory in the password store.
### `pipe`
Executes a local command, capture its stdout, and send that as a file to the
target machine.
Supported attributes:
* `command` -
The (shell) command to run.
### `symlink`
Symlink to create at the target, relative to the target directory.
This can be used to reference files in other sources.
Supported attributes:
* `target` -
Content of the symlink. This is typically a relative path.
