OfBorg seems entirely broken right now

[wolfgangwalther]

All builds seem to fail with:

       error: cannot open connection to remote store 'daemon': error: reading from file: Connection reset by peer

They are then marked as "skipped", which creates a very wrong impression.

From the currently open PRs, which have not been pushed to later:

• This is the first PR that starts failing: waybar-module-pomodoro: init at 0-unstable-2025-07-28 nixpkgs#432523
• This is the last PR that works fine: kimai: 2.37.0 -> 2.38.0 nixpkgs#432518

Thus, this issue started to appear between 2025-08-10 13:12 UTC and 2025-08-10 14:43 UTC.

There was no commit to this repo around that time.

What else could have changed?

error: error processing connection: user 'ofborg-builder' is not allowed to connect to the Nix daemon

trusted-users = root hydra-queue-builder @wheel

I think #14 has been deployed, which could be the cause.

Tangentially related: Why has NixOS/infra#393 not been done? Just because nobody did it or are there fundamental reasons against it?

It's unclear to me why the ofborg deployment is entirely outside the NixOS org, but the code for it is within.

Resolved according to NixOS/ofborg#710 (comment)
