Deploing a single bash script with nixops - nixos

Question

I'm just starting to learn nix / nixos / nixops. I needed to install a simple bash script to remote host with nixops. And I can not realize how to do it. I have two files:
just-deploy-bash-script.nix
{
resources.sshKeyPairs.ssh-key = {};
test-host = { config, lib, pkgs, ... }: {
deployment.targetEnv = "digitalOcean";
deployment.digitalOcean.region = "sgp1";
deployment.digitalOcean.size = "s-2vcpu-4gb";
environment.systemPackages =
let
my-package = pkgs.callPackage ./my-package.nix { inherit pkgs; };
in [
pkgs.tmux
my-package
];
};
}
my-package.nix
{ pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {}, ... }:
let
pname = "my-package";
version = "1.0.0";
stdenv = pkgs.stdenv;
in
stdenv.mkDerivation {
inherit pname version;
src = ./.;
installPhase =
let
script = pkgs.writeShellScriptBin "my-test" ''
echo This is my test script
'';
in
''
mkdir $out;
cp -r ${script} $out/
'';
}
I deploy as follows. I go to the directory in which these two files are located and then sequentially execute two commands:
nixops create -d test just-deploy-bash-script.nix
nixops deploy -d test
Deployment passes without errors and completes successfully. But when I login to the newly created remote host, I find that the tmux package from the standard set is present in the system, and my-package is absent:
nixops ssh -d test test-host
[root#test-host:~]# which tmux
/run/current-system/sw/bin/tmux
[root#test-host:~]# find /nix/store/ -iname tmux

[root#test-host:~]# find /nix/store/ -iname *my-test*
[root#test-host:~]#
Help me figure out what's wrong with my scripts. Any links to documentation or examples of the implementation of such a task are welcome.

Answer 1

The shell can not find your script because it is copied into the wrong directory.
This becomes apparent after building my-package.nix:
$ nix-build my-package.nix
$ ls result/
zh5bxljvpmda4mi4x0fviyavsa3r12cx-my-test
Here you see the basename of a storepath inside a store path. This is caused by the line:
cp -r ${script} $out/
Changing it to something like this should fix that problem:
cp -r ${script}/* $out/
