users.defaultUserShell

This option defines the default shell assigned to user accounts. This can be either a full system path or a shell package.

This must not be a store path, since the path is used outside the store (in particular in /etc/passwd).

Type

absolute path or package

Default

"/bin/sh"

Example

pkgs.zsh

Declared

<nixpkgs/nixos/modules/programs/shadow.nix>
