What: - Remove hardcoded `/bin/` paths from activation scripts - Use home-manager's `run` function for mkdir and ln commands How: - Change `/bin/mkdir -p` and `/bin/ln -sfn` to `run mkdir -p` and `run ln -sfn` in clawdbotDirs and clawdbotConfigFiles activation blocks Why: - Hardcoded `/bin/mkdir` and `/bin/ln` don't exist on NixOS, where binaries live in the Nix store and are accessed via PATH - Using bare commands (mkdir, ln) works but breaks dry-run mode - `run` is the home-manager 25.11 convention, replacing the deprecated `$DRY_RUN_CMD`. It executes normally but only prints when using `home-manager switch --dry-run` - This matches home-manager's own modules (e.g., xdg-user-dirs.nix) Fixes: clawdbot#5
These attributes were missing from defaultInstanceConfig, causing evaluation failures when using the simple configuration style.
Paths like ~/.clawdbot need to be expanded to absolute paths for systemd, which cannot interpret literal ~.
The gateway now expects telegram config under channels.telegram instead of top-level telegram key.
Upstream renamed messages.queue.byProvider to messages.queue.byChannel.
Had this error before: [telegram] handler failed: Error: Missing workspace template: AGENTS.md
Automatically update version strings in clawdbot-gateway.nix and check derivations when running update-pins.sh, keeping them in sync with the upstream release tag.

@moltbot Any updates on this? nix-clawdbot should have proper nix(os) support ;) |

I'll take a look soon - the best way to reach me (and the other maintainers) is on Discord - for this repo, you want the #golden-path-deployments channel. I am also running the bot on NixOS in the server - check https://github.com/moltbot/moltinators for more. It's quite possible everything is very broken at the moment - I had some personal stuff to work on for a while. But now I'm back, first I'll make my bots work, then start looking at PRs/new features etc :) |
