Host Configuration

- @Blastboom Strice It seems the default of
enableContainersistrueif there are any existing containers. So defining it manually is not necessary. - The virtualisation.containers one defauls to
false. I never defined it and my containers work just right. Arcstur (talk) 23:15, 18 May 2026 (UTC)- About
virtualisation.containers, I notice that nixos-containers do not use/etc/containers, that seems to be about oci containers.
