Hi Nix Devs,
I'm really struggling to get strong passwords correctly parsed in my nix
configuration files. I keep getting errors about unexpected $end or
$undefined at wrong places (eg. there is no $ or ; anywhere near the
reported failure).
Deleting the passwords from the nix config file solves this, so the error
is definitely related to the contents of these strings.
I'm using a random password generator to create strong passwords, like
ETrai_5{h'aG,MQ:
I've tried writing them with double quotes, double single quotes and single
quotes, with and without escaping, all to no avail. I also can't seem to
find a list of the characters that should be escaped (I only see " and \
and those are not in those passwords.
Do you have any tips on how to store many different strong password and use
it in nix configuration files? I need those passwords to be in an object
structure so I can build custom config files from them.
For the record, I'm using git-crypt to prevent these files from being read
by unauthorized clients / people
Kind regards,
Erik
