I'm looking at how to adapt Home Manager to this change. Should I use some HM specific directory to keep the profile and gcroot? E.g. Also, this commit doesn't seem to contain any documentation updates. Are those in a separate PR? |

Hmm, I had a look at |

Interesting. I just hit this issue when trying to use the Nix static inside a Steam Deck, with the store inside |

@rycee Apparently this still needs more work on our side. Please open an issue so we can discuss it on the team. |

Move the default profiles to the user’s home

Sep 6, 2023
Problem: Since NixOS/nix#5226 nix profiles for users are stored in 'XDG_STATE_HOME' or 'HOME' directory. However, 'deploy-rs' still expects profiles to be present in '/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user'. As a result, an attempt to deploy a profile with newer nix may fail with an error about non-existing files. Solution: Instead of deducing the profile path prior to ssh'ing and actual activation, deduce the path to the profile during as a part of 'activate-rs' invocation. Now if the profile path is not specified explicitly as an attribute in profile within the deploy flake, the path to the profile is determined based on the user to which the profile belongs and on the values of 'XDG_STATE_HOME' and 'HOME' variables. Additionally, if the old profile directory (in '/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user') for a given user already exists, it is used instead for the sake of backward compatibility.

Rather than using
/nix/var/nix/{profiles,gcroots}/per-user/, put the userprofiles and gcroots under
$XDG_DATA_DIR/nix/{profiles,gcroots}.This means that the daemon no longer needs to manage these paths itself
(they are fully handled client-side). In particular, it doesn’t have to
chownthem anymore (removing one need for root).This does change the layout of the gc-roots created by nix-env, and is
likely to break some stuff, so I’m not sure how to properly handle that.
