This should allow more sensible merging behavior. In particular, with
this change it is possible to use, for example, `mkForce` for greater
control of merging.
Fixes#543
The current documentation does not provide guidance to users on how
systemd units are defined in Home Manager. A user may expect the
configuration to be similar to NixOS, when it actually differs.
Fixes#418
This removes the need for monolithic unit definitions and allows
users to modify existing units.
Example:
```
{
systemd.user.services.owncloud-client.Unit.OnFailure = "my-notify-service";
}
```
Curiously the `who` command sometimes does not list logged-in users,
resulting in systemd not being reloaded. Instead we use
systemctl --user is-system-running
to more directly detect whether systemd is running.
This is a NixOS module that is intended to be imported into a NixOS
system configuration. It allows the system users to be set up directly
from the system configuration.
The actual profile switch is performed by a oneshot systemd unit per
configured user that acts much like the regular `home-manager switch`
command.
With this implementation, the NixOS module does not work properly with
the `nixos-rebuild build-vm` command. This can be solved by using the
`users.users.<name?>.packages` option to install packages but this
does not work flawlessly with certain Nixpkgs packages. In particular,
for programs using the Qt libraries.
Unfortunately systemd derives nonsensical unit names when the unit
file is a link to a link to a file. This commit ensures that any file
whose target path matches the pattern `*/systemd/user/*` will be
reachable with only one link hop.
This also reverts f52ec0df7c, which
contained a temporary fix. This commit is an improvements in that it
is more explicit and also handles unit files given directly as a home
file source.
This is done by exploiting the fact that home files will be copied if
the executable bit of the source file and the target file is
different. This should be considered a hack until some nicer solution
is found.
Note, we still pull in the user's `PATH` in case the user has defined
their own activation blocks that depend on additional tools.
Eventually this will be deprecated and removed.
See #99.
This commit causes an error to be printed if running under a non-Linux
system when a systemd service, target, or timer is active.
It will also prevent running systemd during activation if running
under a non-Linux system.
