# 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.
