If a network proxy configuration is detected, setup an override
systemd unit file for nix-daemon service with the non-empty
proxy variables.
Proxy detection is performed by looking for http/https/ftp proxy and no
proxy variables in user environment
With macOS catalina, we can no longer modify the root system
volume (#2925). macOS provides a system configuration file in
synthetic.conf(5) to create empty root directories. This can be used
to mount /nix to a separate volume. As a result, this directory will
need to already exist prior to installation. Instead, check for
/nix/store and /nix/var for a live Nix installation.
When we are in single user mode, we still want to have access to
profiles. This way things in Nixpkgs that rely on them getting set
accurately are done in both cases. The point where I hit this is with
using aspell which looks in NIX_PROFILES:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/development/libraries/aspell/default.nix
Before this patch, NIX_PROFILES was never set in single user mode!
This corrects that.
Having max-jobs = 32 ($NIX_USER_COUNT is hardcoded to that value) may
severely overload the machine. The nix.conf(5) manual page says max-jobs
defaults to 1, so let's use that value.
NOTE: Both max-jobs and cores are now being set to their default value,
so they can be removed alltogether.
Sandboxing is now enabled by default on Linux, but is still disabled on
macOS. However, the installer always turned it off to ensure consistent
behavior.
Remove this default configuration, so we fall back to the default
platform-specific value.

Instead, print a message about what happened and tell the user what can
be done (run "[sudo -i] nix-channel --update nixpkgs" again at a later
time). This change allows installing Nix when you're offline.
Since the multi-user installer is so verbose, the message isn't printed
until the end.
Fixes issue #2650 ("installation without internet connection").
This removes part of the PATH that were being added automatically in multi-user installs:
- $HOME/.nix-profile/lib/kde4/libexec - shouldn't be needed anymore, we are now using kde5
- @localstatedir@/nix/profiles/default/lib/kde4/libexec - same as above
- @localstatedir@/nix/profiles/default - shouldn't ever contain binaries
If the profile is sourced inside a script with `set -u`, the check for
__ETC_PROFILE_NIX_SOURCED and NIX_SSL_CERT_FILE would raise an error.
A simple guard around this check allows the script to operate under
standard environments (where it is fairly reasonable to assume USER
and HOME are set.)
By passing --daemon or --no-daemon, the installer can be forced to
select one or the other installation options, despite what the
automatic detection can provide.
This commit can be backported to 2.0-maintenance because it explicitly
turns off the daemon installation for Linux under systemd.
We use grep instead of an equality check because it is difficult
to extract _just_ the user's note, instead it is prefixed with
some plist junk. This was causing the user note to always be set,
even if there was no reason for it.
Grep would ignore files that didn't exist, but would complain
about files in a directory if the directory didn't exist. Simply check
for the directory first, prior to grepping it.
- darwin installer: delete hardware report, not necessary
- moves os-specific code from the darwin installer to to `poly_*`
functions
- adds profile.d support to the profile targets, which automatically
handles many distros which don't have a /etc/bashrc but do have an
/etc/profile.d
- /bin/bash -> /usr/bin/env bash
- document why each excluded shellcheck check is excluded
- rename the multi-user to Daemon-based
Checking for MANPATH without quotes always returns true, so that it breaks bash-completion for man pages on modern systems without MANPATH environment variable.
