![]() Specifically, if we're not root and the daemon socket does not exist, then we use ~/.local/share/nix/root as a chroot store. This enables non-root users to download nix-static and have it work out of the box, e.g. ubuntu@ip-10-13-1-146:~$ ~/nix run nixpkgs#hello warning: '/nix' does not exists, so Nix will use '/home/ubuntu/.local/share/nix/root' as a chroot store Hello, world! |
