PostInstallation script #44

Closed PierreR closed 5 years ago

PierreR commented 5 years ago

@zimbatm would you mind explaining this line to me ?

Are you sure the postinstall.sh script is executed ?

Here is my output:

The installer is running twice. Is this intended ?

Thx

If I replace the line with

curl "$packer_http/postinstall.sh" | sh

Then I see the postinstall script output.

The script is supposed to be executed within the nixos chroot. It's possible that the fix here didn't do what was intended: https://github.com/nix-community/nixbox/commit/ba8b646ada9fae88c188e05e49b310cf4c7d9065

Just submit a fix. I guess this needs to be nix-enter. See https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/34033

yeah good call, looks like curl "$packer_http/postinstall.sh" | nixos-enter should do the trick.
