| *Multi-User* | Nix can be used with any user including root.<br /><br />Also still works if the UID or GID of any user is updated. | Only works with Nix 2.11 and up due to a Nix installer limitation.<br /><br />Container must run either: run as root (but `remoteUser` in devcontainer.json can be non-root), or includes `sudo` with the `remoteUser` being configured to use it. <br /><br />Note that automated start of the `nix-daemon` requires passwordless `sudo` if the container itself (e.g., `containerUser`) is not running as root. Manual startup using `sudo` can require a password, however (more next). |
