When i use

nix run github:nix-community/nixos-anywhere -- --flake '.#nixos-labo-pc-1' --vm-test

I get this error

error: flake 'git+file:///<flake_path>' does not provide attribute 'packages.x86_64-linux.default' or 'defaultPackage.x86_64-linux'

EDIT:

This commit 90a51e8 seem to be broken because with this b5cc26d it works well

I was about to test nixos-anywhere after a long time again, and got the same error...
I reverted to using the package from nixpkgs.
The only thing you need to take care of is to put the ssh username@host part at the end of the config, and remove the --target-host option (it was added in a newer version than on stable).

export SSHPASS=supersecretpassword
nix shell nixpkgs#nixos-anywhere
nixos-anywhere --env-password --flake .#config username@host

Ran into the same issue. This worked for me:

nix run github:nix-community/nixos-anywhere/b5cc26d -- --build-on remote --debug --flake .#... --target-host ...

Can someone test nix run github:dasJ/nixos-anywhere/33f178376ff52a09638298a734ffdf9c39d6b748 which tests #465?

On my Darwin machine, I initially encountered the following error when trying to use nixos-anywhere on an x86 Linux target:

error: flake 'git+file:///Users/SNIP/.config/nix' does not provide attribute 'packages.aarch64-darwin.default' or 'defaultPackage.aarch64-darwin'

However, it now seems to work with:

nix run github:dasJ/nixos-anywhere/33f178376ff52a09638298a734ffdf9c39d6b748 -- --flake '.#SNIP' --phases kexec,disko,install --build-on remote root@SNIP -p 22

Thank you, @dasJ! 👍
