Running on NixOS #95

Open zyklotomic opened 4 months ago

zyklotomic commented 4 months ago

Wondering if anyone was able to get this to run on NixOS. I wrote a flake and believe I got vng the binary to build and install properly. Furthermore, I was able to build the kernel via vng -b. However, I was unable to get the vm to actually run.

Will share my flake soon.

I enter a nix-shell to build using

nix-shell -p file virtiofsd busybox elfutils
[nix-shell:~/linux-trees/linux] $ vng -b

@zyklotomic thanks for looking at this. I have zero experience with NixOS.. but I'll take a look as soon as I can find some time!
