SSL issues

If you’re getting errors like

Problem with the SSL CA cert (path? access rights?) (77)

at later stages, there might be that /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt is a dead symlink. This can be fixed by removing that file and creating a new symlink

sudo ln -s /nix/var/nix/profiles/default/etc/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt

Enable flake support

Previously, flake support had to be enabled in /etc/nix/nix.conf by adding the following line to it

experimental-features = nix-command flakes

A version of Nix with flake support could, and probably still can, be installed by running

nix-env -iA nixpkgs.nixFlakes

Clean up old installation

It’s a good idea to make sure that any existing installation of nix-darwin is uninstalled before you begin. There may be crap remaining in /etc/static. Also, you should remeber to backup existing etc files

$ sudo mv /etc/bashrc /etc/bashrc.backup-before-darwin
$ sudo mv /etc/zshrc /etc/zshrc.backup-before-darwin

Linking nix.conf

It’s also possible that you may have to backup nix.conf in order for nix-darwin to be able to link it

$ sudo mv /etc/nix/nix.conf /etc/nix/nix.conf.backup-before-darwin

Linking ca-certificates.crt

nix-darwin might also complain about linking ca-certificates.crt. That stuff we may or may not have had to take care of earlier. Just back that up, rebuild, and watch nix-darwin link it.
