`flake.nix` (or; remove need for `--impure` flag on nixos install)

See original GitHub issue

I’m running nixos, and I can’t install daedalus in pure mode. I need to run --impure flag on nixos-rebuild switch, or else I get the following bug

building the system configuration...

My install looks like this, with home-manager:

let 
  daedalus = (import (pkgs.fetchFromGitHub {
    owner = "input-output-hk";
    repo = "daedalus";
    rev = "478ec558705cebfc660b7b4ebba3aa20c6bfb6b6";
    sha256 = "+7t3nfe+J9iZZ1LiPP0m8c0lvl09HeTOgfQ/OcUWiog=";
  }) { }).daedalus; in
...
home.packages = [ ... daedalus ... ]
...

I think a flake would be a better way to install daedalus.

Hi @quinn-dougherty we only give official support by using the signed installers from www.daedaluswallet.io

But I am sure @michalrus could give you an answer here 🙏

Oh, so there is no name for the defaultPackage on that branch?

Interesting 😮 Thanks! 🙇 I’ll add it 📝
