# Integrating usda-dash-config with athenix
This guide shows how to properly integrate the usda-vision flake and usda-dash-config module into your athenix infrastructure.
## Architecture
```
athenix/ (main flake)
├── flake.nix
│ └── inputs.usda-vision (flake input)
└── nixos-systems/
└── inventory.nix
└── imports usda-dash-config/default.nix (external module)
└── receives usda-vision packages as parameter
```
## Step 1: Add usda-vision as a flake input in athenix
In your `~/athenix/flake.nix`, add usda-vision as an input:
```nix
{
description = "Athenix infrastructure";
inputs = {
nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
# Add usda-vision flake
usda-vision = {
url = "path:/path/to/usda-dash-config/usda-vision";
inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
};
# Your other inputs...
};
outputs = { self, nixpkgs, usda-vision, ... }: {
# Your outputs...
};
}
```
## Step 2: Make packages available to NixOS modules
In your athenix flake outputs, ensure the usda-vision packages are available to your NixOS configurations. There are two approaches:
### Approach A: Using specialArgs (Recommended)
```nix
outputs = { self, nixpkgs, usda-vision, ... }: {
nixosConfigurations.usda-dash = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
system = "x86_64-linux";
specialArgs = {
# Pass usda-vision packages to all modules
usda-vision-packages = usda-vision.packages.x86_64-linux;
};
modules = [
# Your modules...
];
};
}
```
### Approach B: Using _module.args
```nix
outputs = { self, nixpkgs, usda-vision, ... }: {
nixosConfigurations.usda-dash = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
system = "x86_64-linux";
modules = [
# Make packages available as module args
{
_module.args = {
usda-vision-packages = usda-vision.packages.x86_64-linux;
};
}
# Your other modules...
];
};
}
```
## Step 3: Configure secrets with ragenix in athenix
Secrets are managed by ragenix in the athenix flake, not in this flake. Configure your secrets in athenix:
```nix
# In your athenix flake or secrets configuration
{
age.secrets.usda-vision-env = {
file = ./secrets/usda-vision/env.age; # Encrypted with ragenix in athenix
mode = "0644";
owner = "root";
group = "root";
};
age.secrets.usda-vision-azure-env = {
file = ./secrets/usda-vision/azure-env.age; # Encrypted with ragenix in athenix
mode = "0644";
owner = "root";
group = "root";
};
}
```
## Step 4: Import usda-dash-config in inventory.nix
In your `nixos-systems/inventory.nix` (or wherever you import external modules):
```nix
{ config, usda-vision-packages, ... }:
{
imports = [
# Import the usda-dash-config module, passing packages and secret paths
(import /path/to/usda-dash-config/default.nix {
inherit usda-vision-packages;
envFile = config.age.secrets.usda-vision-env.path;
azureEnvFile = config.age.secrets.usda-vision-azure-env.path;
})
# Your other imports...
];
}
```
Or if using nix-lxc devices pattern:
```nix
{ config, usda-vision-packages, ... }:
{
nix-lxc = {
devices = {
"usda-dash" =
let
usda-dash-config = builtins.fetchGit {
url = "https://git.factory.uga.edu/MODEL/usda-dash-config.git";
rev = "commit-hash";
submodules = true;
};
in
import "${usda-dash-config}/default.nix" {
inherit usda-vision-packages;
envFile = config.age.secrets.usda-vision-env.path;
azureEnvFile = config.age.secrets.usda-vision-azure-env.path;
};
};
};
}
```
## Complete Example
Here's a complete example of how it all fits together:
### ~/athenix/flake.nix
```nix
{
description = "Athenix infrastructure";
inputs = {
nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
usda-vision = {
url = "path:/home/engr-ugaif/usda-dash-config/usda-vision";
inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
};
agenix.url = "github:ryantm/agenix";
};
outputs = { self, nixpkgs, usda-vision, agenix, ... }: {
nixosConfigurations = {
usda-dash = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
system = "x86_64-linux";
specialArgs = {
usda-vision-packages = usda-vision.packages.x86_64-linux;
};
modules = [
agenix.nixosModules.default
./nixos-systems/inventory.nix
];
};
};
};
}
```
### ~/athenix/nixos-systems/inventory.nix
```nix
{ config, pkgs, usda-vision-packages, ... }:
{
imports = [
# Import usda-dash-config, passing the packages and secret file paths
(import /home/engr-ugaif/usda-dash-config/default.nix {
inherit usda-vision-packages;
envFile = config.age.secrets.usda-vision-env.path;
azureEnvFile = config.age.secrets.usda-vision-azure-env.path;
})
];
# Configure secrets (managed by ragenix in athenix)
age.secrets.usda-vision-env = {
file = ./secrets/usda-vision/env.age; # Store encrypted secrets in athenix
mode = "0644";
};
age.secrets.usda-vision-azure-env = {
file = ./secrets/usda-vision/azure-env.age; # Azure OAuth config
mode = "0644";
};
# The usda-dash services are now configured and will use the ragenix-managed secrets
}
```
## Local Development vs Production
### Local Development (in usda-vision/)
```bash
cd /path/to/usda-dash-config/usda-vision
nix develop # Uses the local flake
```
### Production Build (from athenix)
```bash
cd ~/athenix
nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#usda-dash
```
The usda-vision packages are built by athenix and passed to the usda-dash-config module.
## Troubleshooting
### "usda-vision-packages is null"
The packages aren't being passed correctly. Check:
- `usda-vision` is in your athenix flake inputs
- `specialArgs` or `_module.args` includes `usda-vision-packages`
- The import in inventory.nix uses `inherit usda-vision-packages;`
### "attribute 'camera-sdk' missing"
The usda-vision flake hasn't been built. Try:
```bash
nix flake update # Update the flake lock
nix build /path/to/usda-dash-config/usda-vision#camera-sdk # Test build
```
### Fallback behavior
If `usda-vision-packages` is not provided, the module falls back to building locally with `callPackage`. This works for standalone testing but isn't recommended for production.
## Benefits of This Approach
1.**Pure builds**: No `--impure` needed
2.**Centralized secrets**: Secrets managed by ragenix in athenix, not in usda-vision flake
3.**Centralized packages**: usda-vision is built once by athenix
4.**Version control**: Lock file in athenix controls versions
5.**Clean separation**:
- usda-vision flake: package definitions only
- athenix: secrets management and deployment
- usda-dash-config: NixOS module configuration
6.**Flexible secrets**: Can easily pass different secret files per environment (dev/staging/prod)
## Managing Secrets in Athenix
To create and manage secrets in athenix:
```bash
# In athenix directory
cd ~/athenix
# Create the secrets directory
mkdir -p secrets/usda-vision
# Create/edit the main environment file secret
ragenix -e secrets/usda-vision/env.age
# Create/edit the Azure environment file secret
ragenix -e secrets/usda-vision/azure-env.age
```
The content of `env.age` should match the format of `.env.example`:
```bash
VITE_SUPABASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:54321
VITE_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY=your-key-here
# ... etc
```
- usda-vision = flake (build system)
- usda-dash-config = module (configuration)
- athenix = orchestrator (infrastructure)
5.**Reusable**: Other athenix machines can use the same packages
