Issue description

I was using home-manager on macos mojave just fine. Since updating to the newest release wiped my /nix, I had to reinstall.

On a completely clean install now (enabled home-manager channel and installed it only), I get:

home-manager switch
error: flake 'path:/Users/virapto

[tru@elitebook840g3 ~]$ docker images nixery.dev/shell/bash
REPOSITORY              TAG                 IMAGE ID            CREATED             SIZE

bash-5.1# ls -ld /

as / is not

Otherwise one might get an error like:

cachix push /nix/store/7i1kqf6x52l1fhqqdmqgggjr0zigggik-cachix-0.1.3/bin/cachix

NoInput "You need to specify store paths either as stdin or as a cli argument"

NixOS/nixpkgs#125598 (comment), specifically containers/podman#9169

Possible issue containers/podman#10672 (not sure if "internal" network is used)

Ideally it just works and all that's needed is a one or two lines of docs.
