What happened?

I migrated a system using macOS Migration assistant. Was having issues so I deleted nix and started over. devbox installed determinate nix. I am able to devbox auth login and devbox cache enable, but when I go to try to re-install I get the bottom code block info.

devbox auth login:

% devbox auth login 
Press Enter to open your browser and login...
Logged in as: user@example.com

devbox cache enable:

% devbox cache enable
The Devbox cache is already enabled for your account.

use devbox update/refresh-global:

% devbox update

    This is interesting I can devbox cache upload which uploads to s3 fine. Really un-sure what I did wrong.

    I deleted nix and started fresh and used devbox 0.13.7 (since it wasn't using the determinate nix installer) and install the latest nix 2.27.1 not using the determinate nix installer and I was able to get back to a working state.

    THis isn't exactly the issue I was having. DeterminateSystems/nix-installer#1290

    Just a guess here as I originally had nixos.org nix installed and re-installed latest devbox 0.14.0 which defaulted to using determinate nix installer (but I never deleted all of the old nix installed bits) was part of my issue (I think).

    After recently updating to Tahoe I only had issues one 1 of 3 machines. I had to delete nix and re-installed with the latest devbox 0.16.0 which installed with the new determinate systems installer.

    But now I can't use my user cache again anymore. Sorry for the call out @Lagoja but I don't think I can be the only one having this issues as a jetify cloud user.
