From 7058b0ad124279cce4ff28e627c59afac87f0dec Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arian van Putten Date: Wed, 25 Sep 2019 18:27:19 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] nixos/systemd: Make machinectl work with NixOS Images generated with nixos-install will be supported by machinectl problem is that systemd-nspawn's private usersns feature clashes with DynamicUser and RuntimeDirectory features, which causes NixOS images to not boot.
