NixOS install `./bin/apply: No such file or directory` about nixos-config

[adamecooper]

The apply script is available in the nix store:

ls -l /nix/store/9vi19cpxijbhf6h0kcr07wl40d53qbzv-source/apps/x86_64-linux/       
total 32
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 4144 Dec 31  1969 apply
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root  580 Dec 31  1969 build-switch
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 1019 Dec 31  1969 check-keys
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 1807 Dec 31  1969 copy-keys
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root  688 Dec 31  1969 create-keys
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 1722 Dec 31  1969 install
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2592 Dec 31  1969 install-with-secrets

I think the issue may be caused by using the relative path (./bin/apply) to call apply.

Hi @adamecooper, thanks for bringing this to my attention. I recently refactored a bunch and it looks like I introduced a regression. Let me take a look and see if I can run through the x86_64-linux install.

./bin/apply was the old directory path.

I made a fix to the incorrect ./bin/apply path. Can you try again?

[adamecooper]

Hi @dustinlyons, I just ran the install command again, and got a new error this time :)

...
+ run_disko
+ sudo nix run --extra-experimental-features nix-command --extra-experimental-features flakes github:nix-community/disko -- --mode zap_create_mount ./nixos/disk-config.nix
aborted: disko config must be an existing file or flake must be set

@adamecooper Oops, I missed that path too. Thanks for being the tester today :)

I just fixed that path.

Apologies, I don't have much time today to test the install end-to-end but this should work now.

[adamecooper]

@dustinlyons no worries, thank you so much for making these fixes! The installation appears to be proceeding successfully now. Will report back once it completes.

@dustinlyons, confirming that the installation was successful 🎉 Time to start customizing. Thanks again for the help, and happy new year!
