Stuck installing Nix in a NixOS Proxmox VM I just installed from nixos-minimal-21.11.334821.d887ac7aee9-x86_64-linux.iso
After sh <(curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install) --daemon I’m ending with a:
oh no! Jeeze, something went wrong. If you…
And errors seems to be a ton of:
cp: cannot create directory '/nix/store/...': Read-only file system
Found around it can be solved pointing the $out variable to a /tmp subdirectory, but I don’t have a clue on where is it or how to do it, so, help help help…
If you wanted to upgrade the version of nix used by the VM you’d use something like nix-env -iA nix_2_4, or set nix.package to nix_2_4 and use nixos-rebuild (by far the preferred option IMO).
Yes indeed Sam, you are missing something: my ignorance
Thing is, I’m following the instructions to install a bundle of Nix apps (nix-bitcoin), but I didn’t knew Nix/NixOS existed before getting there, so I ‘missinterpreted’ some of the instructions. Your clarification was enough to ‘unstock’ me and I think I’m almost done, gratitude
