Maybe also add ability to pass flags like --use-remote-sudo while at it. Relevant code: https://github.com/pinpox/lollypops/blob/ad2d9b9504fefbcabfe92c734d80f2f3a5e3b69e/flake.nix#L95

@misuzu Would it make sense to have the test and dry-activate and boot/reboot actions as additional step in the deployment or instead of a switch? Both is possible without much hassle, I'm thinking about what would be more useful?

I created a pull-request making the action configurable, let me know if that addresses your use case.

Additional step would probably be redundant. It makes sense to, for example, run only dry-activate, to test that deployment is configured properly without actually deploying, or run only boot action with subsequent reboot command, without switching running system.

Implemented and documented using env vars. Feel free to reopen if I missed something.
