22:52 <allgreed> Hey - I'm trying to create a normal user on machines via nixops. Upon deployment the user is not there - I've verified via reading the /etc/passwd (no entry for that user) and trying to su to the username (failure). Tried both with mutableUsers enabled and disabled. Am I doing something wrong? Source: https://pastebin.com/PFjD1fGW

22:59 <craige> That looks good to me, allgreed - how are you including it? Are you sure it's being included in nixops? What listed in `nixops info -d your_deployment`?

23:03 <allgreed> It's in the same file as other configuration that works. 3 machines and an ssh-keypair.

23:05 <craige> The snippet you sent looks fine on it's own. Perhaps there's issues elsewhere?

23:06 <craige> https://source.mcwhirter.io/craige/mio-ops/src/branch/master/Deployments/host_common.nix <- that's my production config, if you want to compare (it's imported via network definitions though)

23:14 <allgreed> https://github.com/allgreed/nixops-playground/blob/master/logic/agent.nix#L62 <- sorry for the mess, anyway, looks identical to mine modulo the group and explicit uid setup ;d

23:14 <allgreed> Gonna try that in a sec (waiting for machine to bootstrap on Digitalocean).

23:24 <allgreed> Nah, that failed :C. Is there a convinient way to take a peek at resulting configuration? I've seen some .nix files in /tmp but they disappear right after the deployment is done.

23:26 <craige> How are you determining that it's not working?

23:28 <allgreed> Running the deployment, then sshing into one of the machines, then `cat /etc/passwd | grep allgreed` + `su allgreed`

23:28 <allgreed> Also there is no coresponding folder in /home (iirc it

23:28 <allgreed> * it's created for normal users

23:29 <craige> Not sure what you mean by "normal" users. Can you ssh in as that particular user?

23:32 <allgreed> I mean that "isNormalUser = true". I cannot.

23:42 <craige> I've read your configs and I've not picked up anything there that could help :-(

23:48 <allgreed> Ok, this is super weird - if I put the user declaration to another file (`nomad.nix`) than it works o.0

23:49 <craige> There's going to be one little things wrong :-)

23:49 <allgreed> Could you elaborate?

23:50 <craige> When I've hit issues like that, there's usually one small thing that I've over looked :-)

23:52 <allgreed> Oh, I get it now ^^. A friend of mine said that a good night sleep is the best debugger - gonna follow on his advice. Thank you for your time!
