If the user has template services in their systemd configuration, these
can't be restarted, and will produces warnings during the activation
phase. Avoid those warnings by skipping any uninstantiated templates
when looking for services to start or stop.
This makes the systemd module use the sd-switch application to perform
the unit switch during a generation activation.
Since the closure of sd-switch is relatively lightweight we
unconditionally pull it in as a dependency. We simultaneously remove
the `systemd.user.startServices` option and perform the switch action
automatically.
PR #1388
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.
