Since the introduction of option `containers.<name>.pkgs`, the
`nixpkgs.*` options (including `nixpkgs.pkgs`, `nixpkgs.config`, ...) were always
ignored in container configs, which broke existing containers.
This was due to `containers.<name>.pkgs` having two separate effects:
(1) It sets the source for the modules that are used to evaluate the container.
(2) It sets the `pkgs` arg (`_module.args.pkgs`) that is used inside the container
modules.
This happens even when the default value of `containers.<name>.pkgs` is unchanged, in which
case the container `pkgs` arg is set to the pkgs of the host system.
Previously, the `pkgs` arg was determined by the `containers.<name>.config.nixpkgs.*` options.
This commit reverts the breaking change (2) while adding a backwards-compatible way to achieve (1).
It removes option `pkgs` and adds option `nixpkgs` which implements (1).
Existing users of `pkgs` are informed by an error message to use option
`nixpkgs` or to achieve only (2) by setting option `containers.<name>.config.nixpkgs.pkgs`.
Fixes that `containers.<name>.extraVeths.<name>` configuration was not
always applied.
When configuring `containers.<name>.extraVeths.<name>` and not
configuring one of `containers.<name>.localAddress`, `.localAddress6`,
`.hostAddress`, `.hostAddress6` or `.hostBridge` the veth was created,
but otherwise no configuration (i.e. no ip) was applied.
nixos-container always configures the primary veth (when `.localAddress`
or `.hostAddress` is set) to be the containers default gateway, so
this fix is required to create a veth in containers that use a different
default gateway.
To test this patch configure the following container and check if the
addresses are applied:
```
containers.testveth = {
extraVeths.testveth = {
hostAddress = "192.168.13.2";
localAddress = "192.168.13.1";
};
config = {...}:{};
};
```
This follows upstreams change in documentation. While the `[DHCP]`
section might still work it is undocumented and we should probably not
be using it anymore. Users can just upgrade to the new option without
much hassle.
I had to create a bit of custom module deprecation code since the usual
approach doesn't support wildcards in the path.
