 @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | sysusers is a tad tricky because it doesn't do user removal or historical id tracking like we do | 22:23:38 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | but I do want to move that out of activation eventually | 22:23:48 |
 Arian | user generation could definitely just be a systemd unit | 22:24:30 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | right | 22:24:36 |
| Arian | systemd runs with without /etc/passwd populated | 22:24:39 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | and anything with DefaultDependencies=no that also needs particular users is ordered after systemd-sysusers (at least in systemd's own units) | 22:25:15 |
| Arian | user removal is easy with sysusers.d. just remove /etc/passwd and rerun it | 22:27:36 |
| Arian | and you can reserve uids with sysusers.d too
r - 500 reserves uid 500
| 22:28:17 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | well we still have to track the /var/lib/nixos/* user id stuff | 22:28:41 |
| Arian | oh wait no that/s not what r does | 22:28:44 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | And I dunno if you can safely just remove passwd. Having it disappear even for a moment could create problems if other things happen at just the wrong times | 22:29:31 |
| Arian | you probably cant x) | 22:31:29 |

 Winter (she/her) | boot.initrd.systemd.services.wipe-root = {
wantedBy = [ "cryptsetup.target" ];
after = [ "cryptsetup.target" ];
before = [ "local-fs.target" ];
anyone know why this causes (apparently) a dep cycle?
| 21:22:46 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | Not sure exactly at the moment but it's fairly unlikely you want local-FS | 21:23:37 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | * Not sure exactly at the moment but it's fairly unlikely you want local-fs | 21:23:43 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | We use x-initrd.mount so the host's file systems are in initrd-fs.target | 21:24:27 |
 @lily:lily.flowers | I use initrd-root-device.target and initrd-root-fs.target and sysroot.mount for ordering | 21:27:03 |
| @lily:lily.flowers | But that won't work until systemd v254 because my PR wasn't backported to 253 | 21:27:23 |
| @lily:lily.flowers | Not for nixos | 21:27:26 |
| @lily:lily.flowers | Unless we start setting root= on the cmdlin0 | 21:27:36 |
| @lily:lily.flowers | * Unless we start setting `root=` on the cmdline | 21:27:41 |
| Winter (she/her) | maybe I should just move back to sh initrd | 21:27:46 |
| Winter (she/her) | running into weird issues with systemd initrd :/ | 21:27:54 |
| @lily:lily.flowers | See https://github.com/lilyinstarlight/foosteros/blob/5fc9246b28bf77568f8ae28248ab042c78b841ab/config/ephemeral.nix for what I have for that | 21:28:08 |

running into weird issues with systemd initrd :/ Please document and open issues! | 21:28:24 |
| @lily:lily.flowers | And https://github.com/lilyinstarlight/foosteros/blob/5fc9246b28bf77568f8ae28248ab042c78b841ab/config/base.nix#L92-L105 for the workaround until v254 | 21:28:42 |

Please document and open issues! If I can reliably reproduce them, I will.
But the one I'm talking about is where luksroot just... fails randomly, leading to a broken emergency shell...? | 21:29:23 |
