# Infrastructure for the donut shaped thing that is absolutely not a donut.
## Quick start
### Build the infrastructure
```
$ colmena build --on @localboot
```
Notice that `@localboot` is load-bearing as we have some machines that _cannot be_ deployed with vanilla Colmena. Fixing this is welcome.
### Recommended deploy process
```
$ colmena apply dry-activate $machine # Verify that the nvd log is reasonable.
$ colmena apply $machine
```
### Recommended upgrade process
```
$ nix flake update
$ colmena apply dry-activate --on @localboot # Verify that the nvd log is reasonable. Run it twice to get only NVD logs shown.
$ colmena apply --on @localboot
```
## Troubleshooting
### I failed to deploy `gerrit01`
Our Gerrit source build is known to have some hiccups sometimes, we are always interested in build logs, feel free to attach information in a new issue so we can make it more reliable.
