Ana | A root-only "Single user" mode is in development right now: https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/nix-installer/pull/188 | 16:53:13 |
Ana | * A root-only "Single user" mode is in development right now: https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/nix-installer/pull/188
This would enable WSL, Docker, etc | 16:53:22 |
Ana | We're also testing auto-uid-allocation since that would simplify the installer a lot: https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/nix-installer/pull/196
Notably we did find a small bug with that Nix feature running inside docker, we're working on a fix

Solène Rapenne (she/her) | hi, we have a meeting today right? :) | 08:34:25 |
@grahamc:nixos.org | yep! | 14:15:10 |
@grahamc:nixos.org | by the way, just a little note ... we saw in user studies that a lot of people would spend a long time reading the curl'd script and try to replicate what it was doing. That ended up taking a really significant amount of time of the user study, which inspired this little change for the curious: https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/nix-installer/commit/6b3a84002e1e43f5d8d2efe7e9c1edd7b89b21bd | 15:54:37 |
Solène Rapenne (she/her) | good idea | 15:59:55 |
10 Feb 2023 |
@grahamc:nixos.org | Hey folks, should we cancel next week's call and reconvene on Wed, March 1? | 21:06:02 |
@grahamc:nixos.org | (I have a conflict that day :x) | 21:06:12 |
Matthew Kenigsberg | Okay by me! | 21:48:50 |

abathur | le sigh | 21:13:11 |
abathur | * le sigh | 21:13:34 |
Ana | What's wrong, abathur ? | 21:59:50 |
abathur | someone's opened a chonky WIP installer PR | 22:01:30 |
14 Feb 2023 |
@grahamc:nixos.org | link? | 16:37:56 |
@grahamc:nixos.org | https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/7827 oh dear | 16:39:02 |
abathur | not sure about quality of the instructions, but spotted this on reddit https://github.com/dnkmmr69420/nix-with-selinux under the title "I got nix working with selinux on silverblue" | 21:34:06 |
Zhaofeng Li | In reply to @grahamc:nixos.org https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/7827 oh dear This would look much less chunky if the author didn't insist on reformatting everything 🤨 | 22:38:13 |
Zhaofeng Li | But based on the PR description, they don't appear to be receptive to feedback suggesting otherwise:
this is an objective readability improvement not a style-preference change.

Matthew Kenigsberg | In reply to @zhaofeng:zhaofeng.li This would look much less chunky if the author didn't insist on reformatting everything 🤨 I feel like a good first suggestion might be to split out stuff like that into it's own PR | 22:48:22 |
abathur | I had a bit of a bizarre exchange with them before they started working on this in an issue, starting at https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/3900#issuecomment-1268329909 | 23:06:14 |

abathur | oops; pasted wrong link first; edited | 23:07:16 |
abathur | a little surprised they elected to do this over the <5-line PR implied by that discussion | 23:10:42 |
