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:

  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!
