There are a bunch of components such as incus or LXC that also use
`boot.isContainer`, so we'd have to differentiate between "OS container"
and "actually nspawn".
This became necessary for the file-systems part where nspawn takes care
of setting up special filesystems like `/proc`, `/dev` etc., but others
don't.
To allow for a `boot.isContainer` being less overloaded, this introduces
`boot.isNspawnContainer` that is exclusively used for nspawn-specific
things. When `true`, `boot.isContainer = true;` is implied.
Resolves the installer failing on devices that include this hardware, as
broadcom_sta was marked as insecure due to being unmaintained and having
active CVE's.
This commit be reverted when/if the installer has a mechanism for allowing
insecure packages.
Currently, we generate `/dev/disk/by-uuid` paths for encrypted LUKS
volumes, which makes it impossible to determine that they are waiting
on a Device Mapper device at boot. Using `/dev/mapper` paths ensures
that systemd stage 1 waives its standard mount timeout for these
volumes to allow the user more time to enter the LUKS password.
This is the easiest pick for new users to get their footing on NixOS.
NetworKManager allows managing a wide variety of different network
interface types interactively and with ease. It replaces `useDHCP` since
its default profiles for Ethernet and WLAN come with DHCP enabled by
default.
Takes the extended features of nix substituteAll to a replaceVars
variant to get rid of those cases that use substituteAll to build a full
package with meta information etc.
E.g. when overriding `nix` with `pkgs.lix`, `nixos-option` will fail.
Given that I haven't used it in a very long time, I wanted to disable
it, but finding an option to turn off `nixos-option` is kinda hard given
that the options are generated here using `mkToolModule`.
I assumed that this isn't possible until I learned that
`system.tools.X.enable` exists. To me, this is a clear sign that these
shouldn't be internal.
Make sure that when re-assigning an overridden derivation to system.build.*,
the overridden derivation is also the one that ends up in
environment.systemPackages.
The Firefox module installs and enables the selected locale whereas the
Firefox package just uses the default locale. Hence, Firefox's language
was still English even when choosing a language other than English.
