How to test the PR

1. Change your NIX_PATH to point to this PR.
2. Add the following entries in your NixOS configuration:

{ pkgs, ... }:
{
  services.foldingathome.enable = true;
  environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [ fahviewer fahcontrol ];
}

3. nixos-rebuild switch
4. Run FAHControl and look at the logs. You might also want to configure your Team ID to 236565 :)

The Covid-19 research happens in the "Any Disease" group, it doesn't look like it's possible to select it specifically.

Partial duplicate of #81768

You might also want to update the nixos module. It seems quite out of date

@rissson what do you mean, I rewrote it from scratch? :D

@zimbatm yes indeed I was looking at the old one. It would be nice to also have an option for the config.xml file

@rissson: now the FAHClient can be started with extra options and defaults to the NixOS Team ID. I think this approach is more reliable than providing the config.xml since the service expects the file to be mutable.

Thanks! I've started this on a few boxes now. :)

So you recommend modifying the config with FAHControl then?

FAHClient should configure the xml when started with the right arguments

Ok I think this is ready. Rebased and squashed. I also added the NixOS module renamed options for back-compat.

Maybe add support for passkey also? https://foldingathome.org/support/faq/points/passkey/

(Since the .deb installer prompts for this)

I'd rather get this merged. The passkey support doesn't seem strictly necessary to me and can be added using FAHControl.
