# buildFHSUserEnv {#sec-fhs-environments}
|
||||
|
||||
`buildFHSUserEnv` provides a way to build and run FHS-compatible lightweight sandboxes. It creates an isolated root with bound `/nix/store`, so its footprint in terms of disk space needed is quite small. This allows one to run software which is hard or unfeasible to patch for NixOS -- 3rd-party source trees with FHS assumptions, games distributed as tarballs, software with integrity checking and/or external self-updated binaries. It uses Linux namespaces feature to create temporary lightweight environments which are destroyed after all child processes exit, without root user rights requirement. Accepted arguments are:
|
||||
|
||||
- `name`
|
||||
Environment name.
|
||||
- `targetPkgs`
|
||||
Packages to be installed for the main host's architecture (i.e. x86_64 on x86_64 installations). Along with libraries binaries are also installed.
|
||||
- `multiPkgs`
|
||||
Packages to be installed for all architectures supported by a host (i.e. i686 and x86_64 on x86_64 installations). Only libraries are installed by default.
|
||||
- `extraBuildCommands`
|
||||
Additional commands to be executed for finalizing the directory structure.
|
||||
- `extraBuildCommandsMulti`
|
||||
Like `extraBuildCommands`, but executed only on multilib architectures.
|
||||
- `extraOutputsToInstall`
|
||||
Additional derivation outputs to be linked for both target and multi-architecture packages.
|
||||
- `extraInstallCommands`
|
||||
Additional commands to be executed for finalizing the derivation with runner script.
|
||||
- `runScript`
|
||||
A command that would be executed inside the sandbox and passed all the command line arguments. It defaults to `bash`.
|
||||
|
||||
One can create a simple environment using a `shell.nix` like that:
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
{ pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {} }:
|
||||
|
||||
(pkgs.buildFHSUserEnv {
|
||||
name = "simple-x11-env";
|
||||
targetPkgs = pkgs: (with pkgs;
|
||||
[ udev
|
||||
alsaLib
|
||||
]) ++ (with pkgs.xorg;
|
||||
[ libX11
|
||||
libXcursor
|
||||
libXrandr
|
||||
]);
|
||||
multiPkgs = pkgs: (with pkgs;
|
||||
[ udev
|
||||
alsaLib
|
||||
]);
|
||||
runScript = "bash";
|
||||
}).env
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Running `nix-shell` would then drop you into a shell with these libraries and binaries available. You can use this to run closed-source applications which expect FHS structure without hassles: simply change `runScript` to the application path, e.g. `./bin/start.sh` -- relative paths are supported.
