The
-overlay
flag runs the specified binary inside an OverlayFS,since the /nix store may be in a different mount point than the user
home, this patch explicitly bind mounts it so it's available inside
the overlay.
profile builder: firejail provides facilities to build a new profiles.
To do so, it execute the helper binary
fbuilder
, which in turn willexecute firejail back with different options. This patch makes it use
the binary available in PATH instead of the one produced at compile time.
The compiled firejail binary doesn't have the necessary permissions,
so the firejail NixOS module wraps it in a SUID wrapper available on
PATH at runtime.

Mind that testing with
nixos-rebuild build-vm
does not work becausebuild-vm
itself uses an overlayfs to mount the nix store.Motivation for this change
Fixing non-working functionality of firejail.
