@j0lol this error seems to have nothing to do with Nixinate, since if you remove Nixinate entirely from the flake, the error still persists. It seems to be coming from your nixos-pc nixosConfiguration:

oh! sorry! it looked like an issue with nixinate because it only seemed to happen when i tried to use nixinate

[jo!]

my mistake was not using nix flake check... sorry for making an irrelevant issue!
