## From Colmena
12
17
18
+
If you're familiar with colmena, wire will hopefully come quickly to you! (or,
19
+
atleast that was the intention when writing it!). There are a few changes you
20
+
should know:
21
+
22
+
- Wire pushes a real binary file to apply keys. You'll need to _atleast_ add garnix's
23
+
public key for your remote server otherwise it will refuse the binary.
24
+
- [You don't have to use a root user](/guides/non-root-user.html)
25
+
- `apply-local` does not exist, `apply` will apply locally when appropriate
26
+
- [Many options have been aliased to nicer names](/reference/module.html)
27
+
(ie, `deployment.targetUser` <=> `deployment.target.user`)
28
+
- You may pass a list of hosts to `deployment.targetHost` (no more fiddling with
29
+
your hive whenever DNS is down, for example)
30
+
- `--path` optionally takes a flakeref! You can pass `--path github:foo/bar`,
31
+
`--path git+file:///...`, `--path https://.../main.tar.gz`, etc.
32
+
(plain paths like `--path ~/my-hive` still work as always)
33
+

::: tip

You should also follow [installation](/guides/installation) to install the
15
36
binary.

Replacing `<nixpkgs>` with a pinned source is optional, but you should

probably use one if you ask me \:)

## From `nixos-rebuild`
87
+
88
+
You can keep using `nixos-rebuild` alongside wire!

Follow the instructions in [the relevant page](/guides/flakes/nixos-rebuild.html).
