This function is fundamentally broken.
Not even the ncurses example will compile.
The interface needs to be rethought for it to work (i.e. don't
unconditionally include all pc files, set include path and ld path and
rpath).
Since it is unlikely that in the current this has any user, just drop it for now.
Having a disks object with a dictionary of all the disks and their
properties makes it easier to process multi-disk images.
Note the rename of `label` to `system_label` is because `$label`i
is something of a special token to jq.
Introduce an AWS EC2 AMI which supports aarch64 and x86_64 with a ZFS
root.
This uses `make-zfs-image` which implies two EBS volumes are needed
inside EC2, one for boot, one for root. It should not matter which
is identified `xvda` and which is `xvdb`, though I have always
uploaded `boot` as `xvda`.
This is a private interface for internal NixOS use. It is similar
to `make-disk-image` except it is much more opinionated about what
kind of disk image it'll make.
Specifically, it will always create *two* disks:
1. a `boot` disk formatted with FAT in a hybrid GPT mode.
2. a `root` disk which is completely owned by a single zpool.
The partitioning and FAT decisions should make the resulting images
bootable under EFI or BIOS, with systemd-boot or grub.
The root disk's zpools options are highly customizable, including
fully customizable datasets and their options.
Because the boot disk and partition are highly opinionated, it is
expected that the `boot` disk will be mounted at `/boot`. It is
always labeled ESP even on BIOS boot systems.
In order for the datasets to be mounted properly, the `datasets`
passed in to `make-zfs-image` are turned in to NixOS configuration
stored at /etc/nixos/configuration.nix inside the VM.
NOTE: The function accepts a system configuration in the `config`
argument. The *caller* must manually configure the system
in `config` to have each specified `dataset` be represented
by a corresponding `fileSystems` entry.
One way to test the resulting images is with qemu:
```sh
boot=$(find ./result/ -name '*.boot.*');
root=$(find ./result/ -name '*.root.*');
echo '`Ctrl-a h` to get help on the monitor';
echo '`Ctrl-a x` to exit';
qemu-kvm \
-nographic \
-cpu max \
-m 16G \
-drive file=$boot,snapshot=on,index=0,media=disk \
-drive file=$root,snapshot=on,index=1,media=disk \
-boot c \
-net user \
-net nic \
-msg timestamp=on
```
