Incus: Difference between revisions

Line 39:

<tt>security.nesting=true</tt> is needed for nix to work correctly.

Your new instance should be running:

<pre>

$ incus list

+-------+---------+----------------------+-----------------------------------------------+-----------+-----------+

+-------+---------+----------------------+-----------------------------------------------+-----------+-----------+

+-------+---------+----------------------+-----------------------------------------------+-----------+-----------+

$ incus exec nixos -- bash

</pre>

After that you can run a root shell inside container using <tt>incus exec nixos -- bash</tt>. From there you probably want to add a new user and use ssh to connect via the IP that you can find using <tt>incus list</tt> command.

Image is built using linuxcontainers CI job [https://jenkins.linuxcontainers.org/job/image-nixos/], the source of which can be found here [https://github.com/lxc/lxc-ci/blob/main/jenkins/jobs/image-nixos.yaml]. As we can see jenkins CI job downloads <tt>lxdVirtualMachineImage</tt> derivation produced by hydra, which produces qcow2 image file. Configuration for nixos image can be found here [https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/maintainers/scripts/lxd/lxd-virtual-machine-image.nix].
