Use Tresorit in a Nix/NixOS environment

Problem with the binary

For the moment it doesn't work without tinkering on nix because the binary tresorit is trying to write in its current directory (and nix store is rw). Currently, there are no options to change this:

strace tresorit :

mkdir("/nix/store/0qrdl9f7qpk4vfk3j854vri941jccw1z-tresorit-3.5.698.875/bin/Logs/", 0777) = -1 EROFS (Read-only file system)

or

openat(AT_FDCWD, "/nix/store/0qrdl9f7qpk4vfk3j854vri941jccw1z-tresorit-3.5.698.875/bin/running.pid", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_CLOEXEC, 0666) = -1 EROFS (Read-only file system)

Bypass with "impure" method

nix run -f release.nix -c install-impure-tresorit

This install tresorit in your $HOME/.local/tresorit (as does the tresorit installation script)

or

nix-env -if release.nix -A impure

and you can use

tresorit-impure
# or
tresorit-cli-impure
