A flake must have a deploy output with the following structure:

deploy
├── <generic args>
└── nodes
    ├── <NODE>
    │   ├── <generic args>
    │   ├── hostname
    │   ├── profilesOrder
    │   └── profiles
    │       ├── <PROFILE>
    │       │   ├── <generic args>
    │       │   ├── bootstrap
    │       │   ├── profilePath
    │       │   └── path
    │       └── <PROFILE>...
    └── <NODE>...

Where <generic args> are all optional and can be one or multiple of:

• sshUser -- user to connect as
• user -- user to install and activate profiles with
• sshOpts -- options passed to nix copy and ssh
• fastConnection -- whether the connection from this host to the target one is fast (if it is, don't substitute on target and copy the entire closure) [default: false]
• autoRollback -- whether to roll back when the deployment fails [default: false]

A formal definition for the structure can be found in the JSON schema

For every profile of every node, arguments are merged with <PROFILE> taking precedence over <NODE> and <NODE> taking precedence over top-level.

Certain read values can be overridden by supplying flags to the deploy binary, for example deploy --auto-rollback true . will enable automatic rollback for all nodes being deployed to, regardless of settings.
