- 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
