From e53e5c38d4a6f89dbb7e33448977a95e5b4ab2eb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eelco Dolstra Date: Fri, 17 Mar 2023 18:32:18 +0100 Subject: Add a setting for configuring the SSL certificates file This provides a platform-independent way to configure the SSL certificates file in the Nix daemon. Previously we provided instructions for overriding the environment variable in launchd, but that obviously doesn't work with systemd. Now we can just tell users to add ssl-cert-file = /etc/ssl/my-certificate-bundle.crt to their nix.conf. --- doc/manual/src/installation/env-variables.md | 11 ++++------- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) (limited to 'doc/manual/src') diff --git a/doc/manual/src/installation/env-variables.md b/doc/manual/src/installation/env-variables.md index fb8155a80..db98f52ff 100644 --- a/doc/manual/src/installation/env-variables.md +++ b/doc/manual/src/installation/env-variables.md @@ -42,14 +42,11 @@ export NIX_SSL_CERT_FILE=/etc/ssl/my-certificate-bundle.crt > You must not add the export and then do the install, as the Nix > installer will detect the presence of Nix configuration, and abort. -## `NIX_SSL_CERT_FILE` with macOS and the Nix daemon +If you use the Nix daemon, you should also add the following to +`/etc/nix/nix.conf`: -On macOS you must specify the environment variable for the Nix daemon -service, then restart it: - -```console -$ sudo launchctl setenv NIX_SSL_CERT_FILE /etc/ssl/my-certificate-bundle.crt -$ sudo launchctl kickstart -k system/org.nixos.nix-daemon +``` +ssl-cert-file = /etc/ssl/my-certificate-bundle.crt ``` ## Proxy Environment Variables -- cgit v1.2.3
