how can i share the same profile between root and my user?
how can i share the same profile between root and my user?
Hello you all, so basically i installed Nix in my machine, and i wanted a way to install packages, with nix-env --install, and those packages share with the root account, i was reading about nix multi-user and i'm gonna be honest, i didn't understood shit, i need to enable daemon for both root and my user?, or this only works between users, not root?, etc. thanks for any answer!
You need the single user installation
The better question is do you actually need to do that. Something like
sudocmd() { sudo "$(which "$1")" "${@:2}"; }will automate sudoing user packages.oh, yeah, i agree with you, that line of code is exactly what i wanted, thanks! btw, why i needed the single user installation?, wasn't multi-user made exactly for managing the packages/profiles between different users?

No, it's allow you to have a set of packages for each user, and to give you improved security and isolation.
In this case nix download all of the packages to /nix/store, and then symlinks them to the appropriate ~/.nix-profile/
