# This module creates a virtual machine from the NixOS configuration.
# Building the `config.system.build.vm' attribute gives you a command
# that starts a KVM/QEMU VM running the NixOS configuration defined in
# `config'. The Nix store is shared read-only with the host, which
# makes (re)building VMs very efficient. However, it also means you
# can't reconfigure the guest inside the guest - you need to rebuild
# the VM in the host. On the other hand, the root filesystem is a
# read/writable disk image persistent across VM reboots.
