I set up a GitHub actions that deploys to my virtual machines running in digital ocean, this has been running fine over the past couple of months until a few days ago when the 1.8 Version of Morph was released.
I'm getting the error when running the morph deploy network.nix switch command. This is being run in a Nix Shell on ubuntu:
error: Neither nixpkgs.hostPlatform nor the legacy option nixpkgs.system has been set.
You can set nixpkgs.hostPlatform in hardware-configuration.nix by re-running
a recent version of nixos-generate-config.
The option nixpkgs.system is still fully supported for NixOS 22.05 interoperability,
but will be deprecated in the future, so we recommend to set nixpkgs.hostPlatform.
Error while running `nix-instantiate ..`: exit status 1My understanding is that some nixpkgs.hostPlatform or nixpkgs.system needs to be set but is this option available in a nix-shell? Maybe there is a flag I can set on my nix-shell to emulate this.
Here is my deployment yaml for github actions

morph deploy network.nix switchI understand that this is not a common use case of this package but I would like to resolve it. I would gladly contribute my workflows for others that want to do similar things in their pipelines. It has really helped me set up CI/CD in my nix server workflows.
