  • I couldn't for the life of me write a consistent passwordless way to login users in tests. If I set the password property in Nix to empty, then I can't do it with passwd from the testing library. If I remove it with passwd -d in the testing library, I can't do it in Nix. I could set it to empty with Nix and then remove it from /etc/shadow in the testing library but it feels like too much effort... For now, I just set it to password
  • I'm migrating modules from the services namespace to machines. If I override a module in NixOS (using disabledModules) a lot of problems ensue. So I prefer not to collide with these and put mine under machines. I guess I'll keep a few on services, only those that are independent from specific machines instantiations
  • My machines don't really use derivations... wallabag for example just clones the official repository and then installs it. This is less deterministic, however, it seems like installation writes to the installation directory and thus is unsuitable for the read-only nix store.
