    Modules to help you handle persistent state on systems with ephemeral root storage [maintainer=@talyz]

  • One feature of my NixOS installation is the use of the Impermanence module, combined with a tmpfs root mount in order to achieve opt-in state, where only the files and directories specified in the module are persisted to disk, reducing the accumulation of unwanted stateful changes to the system.

  • nixpkgs

    Nix Packages collection & NixOS

  • It appears this is an overarching issue with GRUB, as I have found the following issue in NixOS describing the same problem: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/94210

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
