Error: getting status of '/home/...drv': No such file or directory

Help

I’m using deploy-rs to deploy to a remote system. When I run the deploy command it gives an error without any further clues:

🚀 ❌ [deploy] [ERROR] Failed to build profile on node kodi: kodi

How can I find out what is causing this error and how can I resolve this?

I think it doesn’t have much to do with that. I also did a nix flake update and ran the command again. Same error only the path is different:

It’s this issue: Cannot deploy with Nix 2.32(pre) · Issue #340 · serokell/deploy-rs · GitHub
