nixos-rebuild build-vm
You will that you will not be able to login to this virtual machine, as the passwords are not carried over to the virtual machine you build.
If you have a user called nixosvmtest, then
users.users.nixosvmtest.initialHashedPassword = “test”;
to your /etc/nixos/configuration.nix
you should now be able to login test your system with this user and password.
