14:02 <gchristensen> reposting from #nixos a while back, anyone know how networking.publicIPv4 ends up in some nixops physical specs but not others?

16:33 <clever> gchristensen: backend specific, or differences within a single backend? and which?

16:37 <gchristensen> I have some target="none" and some hetzner boxes

16:37 <gchristensen> and there doesn't seem to be a totally consistent pattern

16:42 <clever> gchristensen: plugin nixops or the old nixops?

16:42 <gchristensen> old nixops

16:44 <clever> https://github.com/NixOS/nixops/blob/v1.7/nixops/deployment.py#L501-L505

16:44 <clever> it will read the .public_ipv4 property on the machine (which is stored in the sqlite state)

16:44 <clever> and if present, add it to the physical.nix

16:44 <clever> https://github.com/NixOS/nixops/blob/v1.7/nixops/backends/none.py#L50-L54

16:45 <clever> and the first time the machine is created, the ip will be copied from the definition to the state

16:46 <gchristensen> hrm

16:46 <clever> gchristensen: its a little fuzzy, but i think you can reproduce this fault if you `nixops deploy --build-only` before you set `deployment.targetIp`

16:46 <gchristensen> oh interesting

16:47 <gchristensen> thank you, clever !
