 niko ⚡️ | If you run lix as root you can bypass talking to the daemon | 21:31:10 |
| niko ⚡️ | It used to be the default, inherited from nix, but nowadays I believe lix always talks to the daemon unless specified otherwise | 21:31:36 |
| niko ⚡️ | Alternatively you can run a daemon with a different store directory and connect to that instead | 21:32:38 |

If you run lix as root you can bypass talking to the daemon Oh god | 21:43:21 |
| KFears (they/them) | Is this the CppNix way of making Nix work in containers? | 21:43:46 |
 sterni | it's just single user nix | 21:56:17 |

 mjm | lix is now in nixos-unstable, what's the best way to use it in a NixOS config? | 15:47:41 |
 K900 | nix.package = pkgs.lix | 15:47:54 |
| K900 | Probably | 15:47:58 |
| K900 | Or just keep using the module | 15:48:02 |
 puck | you can use nix.package = pkgs.lix; if you want; but using the overlay will guarantee more updates (tho less binary cache) | 15:48:44 |
| mjm | well, the module/overlay doesn't easily support using the one from nixpkgs | 15:48:44 |
| mjm | i do want more binary cache | 15:49:21 |
| mjm | yeah i guess i'll just do nix.package then | 15:50:43 |
 raitobezarius | to have binary cache and HEAD, we will probably need to track the channels and bolt a lix on there and rebuild with our own CI then push in our binary cache | 17:33:17 |
 Charles | What's lix using as its binary cache? Attic? | 17:34:36 |

 @tc424:glasgow.social | Last I heard they were using garage as the back end, and think about attic | 17:39:11 |
| @tc424:glasgow.social | I don't know if that means they're just pushing directly into garage's s3 interface for the moment | 17:39:36 |

What's lix using as its binary cache? Attic? garage without attic | 17:41:16 |
| raitobezarius | it's homemade just nix push thingie | 17:41:24 |
| raitobezarius | and nix sign | 17:41:25 |
 Qyriad | yep | 17:44:26 |
| @tc424:glasgow.social | I've just given up on attic due to weird non-deterministic auth problems that nobody else seems to have experienced | 17:44:31 |
| @tc424:glasgow.social | Still half convinced I'm "holding it wrong" somehow | 17:44:49 |
| Charles | Yeah I experienced lots of jank with attic | 17:44:56 |
