| | | A short exploration of multi-user nix and interacting with the Nix User Repository without root Background For multi-user nix installations1, the NIX_PATH variable is empty. Here I briefly go over two approaches to mitigate this, one with nix-channel and the other by manual pinning. Note that this post will eventually be superseded for most cases by a better flake workflow. Channels The idea behind using a channel is essentially that the tar at a particular commit / tag will be downloaded and stored, typically at $HOME/.nix-defexpr/channels. This is in-fact a symlink typically as seen below. | ||
