IOW - we're switching off of NixOS to Debian per security team's recommendations

@jankaifer ripped your configs, thanks, though added a CID in init script: https://github.com/ivankovnatsky/nixos-config/blob/main/modules/falcon-sensor.nix#L25.

If someone is trying to use any of the shared gist after NixOS release 23.05 you will experience problems, there is a backward incompatible change to buildFHSUserEnv, its now called buildFHSEnv (nix) and uses FlatPak’s Bubblewrap sandboxing tool.
The PID written in /run/falcond.pid will now be the PID from the namespace CrowdStrike is running in rather than the host PID.

To have the host PID written, you need to set unsharePid = false; in buildFHSEnv.

Example:

...
buildFHSEnv {
  name = "fs-bash";
  unsharePid = false;
  targetPkgs = pkgs: [ libnl openssl zlib ];

  extraInstallCommands = ''
    ln -s ${falcon-sensor}/* $out/
  '';

  runScript = "bash";
}

@thall Thanks for sharing! Though for me it still does not start, not sure why:

References:

But, yeah, probably since they don't support NixOS, not sure if that is worth it.
