I just switched one of my systems over to NixOS from Arch and so far it seems interesting. One question I had is regarding the nix-shell. So I get the basic concept of it and that it allows creating a shell that has packages installed with that shell making ideal for dev environments. I’ve even seen talks where the suggest nix-shells over docker/podman, my question is how is persistent data (like databases) handled?
mariadbdoesn’t get backgrounded? Are you sure? Are you able to type commands and see their output? Also, what happens when puttingset -xat the start of your shell hook? You should see the last line printed e.gMYSQL_PID=12345Anti Commercial-AI license
