With these changes, a container can have more then one veth-pair. This allows for example to have LAN and DMZ as bridges on the host and add dedicated containers for proxies, ipv4-firewall and ipv6-firewall. Or to have a bridge for normal WAN, one bridge for administration and one bridge for customer-internal communication. So that web-server containers can be reached from outside per http, from the management via ssh and can talk to their database via the customer network.
The scripts to set up the containers are now rendered several times instead of just one template. The scripts now contain per-container code to configure the extra veth interfaces. The default template without support for extra-veths is still rendered for the imperative containers.
Also a test is there to see if extra veths can be placed into host-bridges or can be reached via routing.
This makes the container a bit more secure, by preventing root
creating device nodes to access the host file system, for
instance. (Reference: systemd-nspawn@.service in systemd.)
This moves nixos-containers into its own package so that it can be
relied upon by other packages/systems. This should make development
using dynamic containers much easier.
We need to use wrapped modprobe, so that it finds the right
modules. Docker needs modprobe to load overlay kernel module
for example.
This fixes an an error starting docker if the booted system's kernel
version is different from the /run/current-system profile's one.
Since systemd version 230, it is required to have a machine-id file
prior to the startup of the container. If the file is empty, a transient
machine ID is generated by systemd-nspawn.
See systemd/systemd#3014 for more details on the matter.
This unbreaks all of the containers-* NixOS tests.

Closes: #15808
The existence of $root/var/lib/private/host-notify as a socket
prevented a bind mount:
container foo[8083]: Failed to create mount point /var/lib/containers/foo/var/lib/private/host-notify: No such device or address
This allows setting options for the same LUKS device in different
modules. For example, the auto-generated hardware-configuration.nix
can contain
boot.initrd.luks.devices.crypted.device = "/dev/disk/...";
while configuration.nix can add
boot.initrd.luks.devices.crypted.allowDiscards = true;
Also updated the examples/docs to use /disk/disk/by-uuid instead of
/dev/sda, since we shouldn't promote the use of the latter.
Without the templating (which is still present for imperative containers), it
will be possible to set individual dependencies. Like depending on the network
only if the hostbridge or hardware interfaces are used.
Ported from #3021
This allows the containers to have their interface in a bridge on the host.
Also this adds IPv6 addresses to the containers both with bridged and unbridged
network.
NixOps has infrequent releases, so it's not the best place for keeping
the list of current AMIs. Putting them in Nixpkgs means that AMI
updates will be delivered as part of the NixOS channels.
We now generate a qcow2 image to prevent hitting Hydra's output size
limit. Also updated /root/user-data -> /etc/ec2-metadata/user-data.
