Mention number of derivations to be build/fetched in output
2020-06-18 19:03:05 +02:00
Samir Talwar 9069759767
Instruct the user to follow redirects when installing Nix.
Nix installation now requires following redirects using `curl -L`. This
is currently represented on the [Nix download page][] but not in the
manual. This change updates the manual to reflect this.

Using `curl` without the `-L` flag results in an empty body, making
installation a no-op.

[Nix download page]: https://nixos.org/download.html

Unless I am misinformed, using the `nixpkgs` repository directly is now

focus on golden-path covering most scenarios
This should handle installation scenarios we can handle with
anything resembling confidence. Goal is approximating the existing
setup--not enforcing a best-practice...

Approaches (+ installer-handled, - manual) and configs each covers:

+ no change needed; /nix OK on boot volume:
  All pre-Catalina (regardless of T2 or FileVault use)

+ create new unencrypted volume:
  Catalina, pre-T2, no FileVault

+ create new encrypted-at-rest volume:
  Catalina, pre-T2, FileVault
  Catalina, T2, no FileVault

- require user to pre-create encrypted volume
  Catalina, T2, FileVault

Remove -j option from simple-build-testing
By default Nix/NixOS already set a reasonable default `max-jobs = auto`
so we don't need to mention it in this tutorial.
The option is still documented in other parts of the documentation
if users ever stumble over this.

Update "Upgrading Nix" documentation
This PR proposes two changes to the "Upgrading Nix" documentation:

* Besides updating `nixpkgs.nix`, we also update `nixpkgs.cacert`, so that the certificates are up-to-date as well.
* Add the instructions for multi-user mode on Linux.
