# Virtualization modules

This directory houses all virtualization and container related enablement. Cloud native anyone??

## Hardware virtualization

This is for running virtual machines on the bare metal.

All that's needed to get this working to import the `./hardware.nix` into your machine's configuration.

## Docker (OCI containers)

This is for running the Docker runtime (rootful or rootless, rootful by default) to run OCI containers.

All that's needed to get this working to import the `./docker.nix` into your machine's configuration.

Note: I don't use Docker too much as I use Podman for development. I'd check the Podman documentation.

## Podman/Buildah (OCI containers)

This is for running the Podman runtime (rootless) to run OCI containers.

You will need to import `./podman.nix` into your machine configuration. Additionally, there's some added configuration to suit your needs.

Example:

```nix
  podman = {
    podman = {
      enable = true;
      extraPackages = with pkgs; [
        docker-credential-helpers
        toolbox
        cosign
        crane
        podman-tui
        podman-desktop
      ];
    };
  };
```

To get a full, comprehensive list of what you can do with the podman module, please check out (podman.nix)[./podman.nix]!

## Kubernetes

Coming soon!

## LXC/LXD

I don't have anything in the way of a nix configuration for LXC/LXD as I don't have a use-case for them. Come back later!
