Currently there are a bunch of really wacky hacks required to get nixpkgs
path correctly set up under flake configs such that `nix run
nixpkgs#hello` and `nix run -f '<nixpkgs>' hello` hit the nixpkgs that
the system was built with. In particular you have to use specialArgs or
an anonymous module, and everyone has to include this hack in their
own configs.
We can do this for users automatically.
I have tested these manually with a basic config; I don't know if it is
even possible to write a nixos test for it since you can't really get a
string-with-context to yourself unless you are in a flake context.
The current build of livebook does not work with the new [Livebook
Teams](https://livebook.dev/teams/) features. The problem can be observed by
running the current version of livebook, adding a new team and going to the team
page. The process will crash and the team page will show a 500 error.
The base of the problem is that the escript build method is not officially
supported. This commit changes the livebook package to use the `mix release`
workflow, which is also the one used to build the official Docker container.
Unfortunately, the binary built with `mix release` does not support command line
arguments like the `escript` binary does. Instead, users need to pass in most of
the configuration as environment variables, as documented
[here](https://hexdocs.pm/livebook/readme.html#environment-variables). As a
result, this commit also changes the Livebook service to reflect this new way of
configuring Livebook.
Finally, the Livebook release configuration specifically excludes the
ERTS (Erlang Runtime System), which means that the resulting release cannot run
without Erlang installed.
I have tested the results (both of the package and the service) locally.
It is probably a good idea to talk about it and leave it to release editors to decide how they want to present this.
Hardware OPAL based is interesting for certain companies with compliance constraints.
There were several modules, critically including NetworkManager, which
were not prepared for this change. Most of the change was good,
however. Let's bring back the dependency and change the assertion to a
warning for now.
