    @rushmorem Hey mate. I’m around if you want to try and debug those GH issues here.

    @petehayes102 Thanks.

    What steps do I need to do to setup my environment after doingcargo build --release?

    Have you seen this? https://intecture.io/book/rust/ch01-02-intro-installation.html
    Sorry...Gitter only showed me the last line of the message. Just seen the rest.

    It's OK. Yes I did. However, NixOS is a little bit different from other distros.
    Pete Hayes
    @petehayes102
    Errors need a big overhaul. There's a ticket for it. Just not enough hours in the day
    Rushmore Mushambi
    @rushmorem
    I understand.

    I'd be interested to know what needs to be changed/added to the docs if you have time to note. Anyway, to your problem...
    Rushmore Mushambi
    @rushmorem
    Sure. I will note that down. I was about to open a ticket when your chat message came in.

    Argh. Trying to view source code on an iOS device is a nightmare. I'll just grab my laptop.
    Rushmore Mushambi
    @rushmorem
    OK :)
    Pete Hayes
    @petehayes102
    Ok, so it’s looking for the Auth server config (auth.json) in /usr/local/etc/intecture/ and /etc/intecture/
    That may not be so good for NixOS?
    Rushmore Mushambi
    @rushmorem
    NixOS doesn't have /usr and configuration is done at install time plus /etc is rarely used.
    Pete Hayes
    @petehayes102
    Right…so where would that conf normally live? It just dawned on me that you probably didn’t use the Makefile to build the project because of the incompatibilities...
    Rushmore Mushambi
    @rushmorem
    It's best to expose the path to the config file via an environment variable or a command line option.
    Yes I didn't use the Makefile. All I have are binaries.
    Configuration is done via modules.
    Pete Hayes
    @petehayes102
    Agreed, it would have been better to provide a flag to override the conf location.
    Seems I have a lot to learn about NixOS!
    To get it working, you could manually create the path /etc/intecture/ and create an auth.json file in there. Copy the one out of resources/auth.json.tpl, replacing {{sysconfdir}} with /etc/intecture/
    The Makefile normally does all this for you
    Rushmore Mushambi
    @rushmorem
    Done. It worked. Thanks!
    Pete Hayes
    @petehayes102
    Cool. Glad to hear it :)
    I think you’re going to have an uphill struggle getting this to work on NixOS at the moment. It’s totally not designed for it (not to say that it can’t/won’t be in the future)
    But I’m really happy to help you through it if you’re keen to try
    Rushmore Mushambi
    @rushmorem
    Thanks. I really appreciate your help.
    I don't give up on things easily. I will see this through.
    NixOS is much like Rust. It has a bit of a learning curve because it departs from the usual way of doing things. But once you get past that, you will quickly grow fond of it.
    Pete Hayes
    @petehayes102
    Well patches are most welcome! I'll try and find some time to download NixOS this week and work through getting a dev env up and running. I'm sure quite a few patches will come out of that, but it'll likely take a while before it's supported as a first class platform.
    Rushmore Mushambi
    @rushmorem
    I understand. I will also submit pull requests whenever I manage to get some time to work on it so hopefully we will see that support faster.

    I have a few things I'm working on but Intecture is one of the pieces I will need to make deployment easier. NixOS has a tool called NixOps for deploying servers but it's not so great for managing services dynamically. For that there is a third party tool called DisNix. However, what sets Intecture apart is that I can manage those via a program which is exactly what I want.
    I can effectively create infrastructure that's smart enough to manage itself.
    Pete Hayes
    @petehayes102
    Hehe. That's actually how I came up with the name - "INTElligent infrastruCTURE"
    Rushmore Mushambi
    @rushmorem
    Oh, I see! Good job. It's an awesome name. I wondered a few times what it meant but even then it did sound cool :)
    Quick question... Even though NixOS doesn't have first class support right now, there is nothing stopping me from using Command to run any commands I want on it, right?
    Pete Hayes
    @petehayes102
    Hrm, that's an interesting one. I don't think so. Let me consult the code for a minute.
