does the current Nix install on macOS single-user nowadays? Is that preferred to multi-user?
19:07
<
adelbertc >
i seem to remember a couple years ago it was defaulting to multi-user, i think thats what i have on my own machine
19:07
<
adelbertc >
but running the installer on this new laptop it looks like its default to single-user
19:09
<
LnL >
yeah, it's single user by default for uninstall/simplicilty
19:10
<
adelbertc >
ah makes sense, so for folks experimenting with NIx its easy to remove if they want to bail
19:10
<
adelbertc >
but reading the manual it sounds like if you know you want Nix then multi-user is the way to go?
19:14
<
LnL >
yeah, the daemon is better in terms of purity and security so I'd recommend it if you're serious about nix

oof new macbook = new os, im reading that big thread on installing on Catalina now
19:20
<
adelbertc >
looks like theres no consensus on how to handle that yet :/
19:24
<
__monty__ >
There is though.
19:24

Synthetic.conf is the way to go afaik?
19:25
<
adelbertc >
and then creating an APFS volume for /nix ?

hm even with synthetic.conf it looks like theres tradeoffs btwn symlink vs. mounting a volume vs. a DMG route (??)
19:31
<
adelbertc >
but it also sounds like single-user install seems to have less trouble with this?
19:32
<
__monty__ >
There's an issue with symlinks.
19:32
<
__monty__ >
I don't remember what it is but I feel like it's not a good idea.

LnL: do you have any thoughts on least terrible way to get a Nix install working on Catalina? im only intenidng on using it for local package installs, not setting up entire Nix infra for projects or anything like that
20:13
<
LnL >
I didn't push my error improvements yet but other then that the pr should be good to go

nix#3212 (by LnL7, 15 weeks ago, open): [WIP] install: configure and bootstrap synthetic.conf on darwin
20:40
<
adelbertc >
oo nice
20:40
<
adelbertc >
if i run that could i then just run the multi-user install after? or will ti not like the existing /nix
20:41
<
adelbertc >
looks like thats what the installer does. runs that script then proceeds as normal
20:41
<
LnL >
sure, that should also work
