- Added nixos-build-vms command, which builds a virtual network from a network.nix expression (also used by nixos-deploy-network) - Added a backdoor option to the interactive run-vms script. This allows me to intergrate the virtual network approach with Disnix - Small documentation fixes Some explanation: The nixos-build-vms command line tool can be used to build a virtual network of a network.nix specification. For example, a network configuration (network.nix) could look like this: { test1 = {pkgs, config, ...}: { services.openssh.enable = true; ... }; test2 = {pkgs, config, ...}: { services.openssh.enable = true; services.xserver.enable = true; } ; } By typing the following instruction: $ nixos-build-vms -n network.nix a virtual network is built, which can be started by typing: $ ./result/bin/run-vms It is also possible to enable a backdoor. In this case *.socket files are stored in the current directory which can be used by the end-user to invoke remote instruction on a VM in the network through a Unix domain socket. For example by building the network with the following instructions: $ nixos-build-vms -n network.nix --use-backdoor and launching the virtual network: $ ./result/bin/run-vms You can find two socket files in your current directory, namely: test1.socket and test2.socket. These Unix domain sockets can be used to remotely administer the test1 and test2 machine in the virtual network. For example by running: $ socat ./test1.socket stdio ls /root You can retrieve the contents of the /root directory of the virtual machine with identifier test1 svn path=/nixos/trunk/; revision=24410

nixos/lib/make-disk-image: refactor to use nixos-install - Replace hand-rolled version of nixos-install in make-disk-image by an actual call to nixos-install - Required a few cleanups of nixos-install - nixos-install invokes an activation script which the hand-rolled version in make-disk-image did not do. We remove /etc/machine-id as that's a host-specific, impure, output of the activation script Testing: nix-build '<nixpkgs/nixos/release.nix>' -A tests.installer.simple passes Also tried generating an image with: nix-build -E 'let pkgs = import <nixpkgs> {}; lib = pkgs.lib; nixos = import <nixpkgs/nixos> { configuration = { fileSystems."/".device = "/dev/disk/by-label/nixos"; boot.loader.grub.devices = [ "/dev/sda" ]; boot.loader.grub.extraEntries = '"''"' menuentry "Ubuntu" { insmod ext2 search --set=root --label ubuntu configfile /boot/grub/grub.cfg } '"''"'; }; }; in import <nixpkgs/nixos/lib/make-disk-image.nix> { inherit pkgs lib; config = nixos.config; diskSize = 2000; partitioned = false; installBootLoader = false; }' Then installed the image: $ sudo df if=./result/nixos.img of=/dev/sdaX bs=1M $ sudo resize2fs /dev/disk/by-label/nixos $ sudo mount /dev/disk/by-label/nixos /mnt $ sudo mount --rbind /proc /mnt/proc $ sudo mount --rbind /dev /mnt/dev $ sudo chroot /mnt /nix/var/nix/profiles/system/bin/switch-to-configuration boot [ … optionally do something about passwords … ] and successfully rebooted to that image. Was doing all this from inside a Ubuntu VM with a single user nix install.
