On another Debian (x86 or arm64, doesn't matter much).

apt install distrobuilder qemu-system-common

Create a configuration file (debian.yml for example) for your LXC image :

Here's how to use Home Manager without home-manager. @proofconstruction is my witness.

Getting the right version of Home Manager

First of all we have to make sure that the version of Home Manager matches the Nixpkgs release we want to use for our user environment configuration. Otherwise we will almost certainly get into trouble with mismatching interfaces.

We start out with a function that takes Nixpkgs as pkgs and fetch the appropriate Home Manager release. We get the given Nixpkgs version string from pkgs.lib.version and split it into the . format with lib.versions.majorMinor.

Installing Nautilus directly from Nixpkgs in Non-NixOS systems have no support for mounting sftps and other features that needs gvfs.

The solution for this is to install gnome3.gvfs in your packages list and then setup the env variable like this:

home.packages = with pkgs; [
  gnome3.gvfs
  gnome3.nautilus
];

Setting up qemu VM using nix flakes

Did you know that it is rather easy to setup a VM to test your NixOs configuration?

Create simple flake:

# flake.nix
{
  inputs.nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixpkgs-unstable";

{ localSystem ? builtins.currentSystem
, crossSystem ? { config = "x86_64-unknown-linux-musl"; isStatic = true; useLLVM = true; }
}:
let
  # Fetch the nixpkgs-cross-overlay sources.
  src = builtins.fetchTarball "https://github.com/alekseysidorov/nixpkgs-cross-overlay/tarball/main";
  # Use the nixpkgs revision provided by the overlay. 
  # This is the best way, as they are the most proven and compatible.
  nixpkgs = "${src}/utils/nixpkgs.nix";
  # Make cross system packages.

Ok I was struggling a bit finding info about this. In a nutshell:

• /var/run/docker.sock only works for root(ful) containers
• there's no rootless socket-file created by default (you need to run an API listener service)

STEP 1: run API listener service (to create socketfile)

# To set this up, first get tailscale working in an isolated linux shell:
#  1. sudo systemctl stop tailscaled.service
#  2. tailscaled -port 9993 -state tailscale-luks-setup.state -tun userspace-networking -socket ./tailscaled.sock
#  3. tailscale -socket ./tailscaled.sock up -hostname HOSTNAME-luks
#  4. tailscale -socket ./tailscaled.sock down
#  5. ctrl-c out of tailscaled
#  6 sudo systemctl start tailscaled.service
#
# Then add the .state file to your machine secrets and pass its path as tailscaleStatePath.
