| pxc | * Is there any way for me to pass a socket on a podman machine/Podman Desktop host through to the podman machine guest where my containers run? | 21:06:30 |
| pxc | I've built a Nix container that contains a statically-compiled copy of Nix so that it can work with an empty /nix/store.
On my Linux hosts, this means I can pass through the Nix daemon socket and the Nix store with a pair of -v options to podman run, and then those containers have access to the host system's /nix/store as a kind of cache, so that on subsequent runs, Nix doesn't re-download any previously downloaded packages inside the container.
The store is mounted read-only inside the container, and the daemon socket is passed through so that the container can ask the host to build paths in /nix/store, which is writable (by the Nix daemon/build users) on the host side.
This works great on Linux, but I'd like to be able to have this play nice with Podman Desktop on my Mac at work. I had kinda hoped that podman machine init -v ... would do the trick just as podman run -v does further on down the line. But I guess qemu doesn't (can't?) pass filesystems through across hosts quite as transparently as container systems can.
| 21:13:58 |
| pxc | I assume there's a way to do what I want with qemu itself, even if Podman doesn't yet expose it, probably with some socat trickery, but I'm out of my depth. Anyone know if/how it's possible to do what I want (a) with qemu at all or even (b) with podman machine in particular? | 21:15:15 |
| pxc | Podman must already use machinery like this to produce the podman socket on the host for macOS Podman Desktop users, right? Where can I learn about how this is done? | 21:16:47 |

 tangentsoft | Bind-mounting volumes to expose sockets? Effin' magic if it works, and difficult to recommend even so. | 04:24:31 |
| tangentsoft | I don't know how well this fits into your world, @pxc, but I find [Nixery](https://nixery.dev) fascinating. Maybe you can rely in their tooling instead of rolling your own? | 04:25:37 |
| tangentsoft | Oh, and don't be scared of the TVL = "The Virus Lounge" stuff. It refers to a place where shut-in geeks could get together during COVID-19. | 04:26:37 |

This is starting to look like a "the chicken and the egg" problem 🤔 lmao | 06:20:06 |

This is starting to look like a "the chicken and the egg" problem 🤔 Alternatively you can try to delete the directory /var/lib/containers. | 06:23:55 |
| Noclip | There is also /etc/containers but you probably shouldn't simply delete that cause it already contains some config files out-of-the-box. | 06:25:23 |
