  • nixos-fhs-compat

    LSB&FHS compatibility for NixOS. Intended for containers and VMs.

  • The root filesystem only contains two FHS-y symbolic links by default: /bin/sh and /usr/bin/env (and some /etc stuff that is hardcoded in some applications and wasn't considered to be worth patching). All the other files are kept in non-FHS-compliant locations (/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/*/default and /run/current-system/sw or /nix/var/nix/profiles/system). This means, for example, that binaries from other Linux distros won't run unless they have been statically compiled with musl (because there's no dynamic linker at /lib/ld-linux.so.2). There's this hack courtesy of Matthew Bauer that links stuff to FHS locations: https://github.com/balsoft/nixos-fhs-compat , but it's not supported upstream and it doesn't change how all the internal Nix stuff works, it's only a wrapper to allow running FHS and LSP-reliant binaries.
