Log Message:
-----------
nixos/stage-1: add mechanism which lustrates all impurities from / (#17784)
lustrate /ˈlʌstreɪt/ verb.
purify by expiatory sacrifice, ceremonial washing, or some other
ritual action.
- sudo touch /etc/NIXOS_LUSTRATE
⇒ on next reboot, during stage 1, everything but /nix and /boot
is moved to /old-root
- echo "etc/passwd" | sudo tee -a /etc/NIXOS_LUSTRATE
⇒ on next reboot, during stage 1, everything but /nix and /boot
is moved to /old-root; except /etc/passwd is copied back.
Useful for installing NixOS in place on another distro. For instance:
$ nix-env -iE '_: with import <nixpkgs/nixos> { configuration = {}; }; with
config.system.build; [ nixos-generate-config manual.manpages ]'
$ sudo mkdir /etc/nixos
$ sudo `which nixos-generate-config`
… edit the configuration files in /etc/nixos using man configuration.nix
if needed
maybe add: users.extraUsers.root.initialHashedPassword = "" ?
… Build the entire NixOS system and link it to the system profile:
$ nix-env -p /nix/var/nix/profiles/system -f '<nixpkgs/nixos>' -A system --set
… If you were using a single user install:
$ sudo chown -R 0.0 /nix
… NixOS is about to take over
$ sudo touch /etc/NIXOS
$ sudo touch /etc/NIXOS_LUSTRATE
… Let's keep the configuration files we just created
$ echo etc/nixos | sudo tee -a /etc/NIXOS_LUSTRATE
$ sudo mv -v /boot /boot.bak &&
sudo /nix/var/nix/profiles/system/bin/switch-to-configuration boot
$ sudo reboot
… NixOS boots, Stage 1 moves all the old distro stuff in /old-root.
