Today we encountered a problem that nixops4 won't find the flake.nix when run from anywhere else but the root directory.

As a user I want to run a deployment from any directory inside the repository when I'm in the development environment.

I guess one can hack around this by looking for a flake.nix before running NixOps4. (I guess NixOps4 could do that itself to circumvent the Nix API issue, but in a development phase it might not yet make sense to include such hacks.)

Fediversity/Fediversity#96 does not fix this but at least documents it.
