Container start/stop scripts (host side)

[milabs]

Hello,

It would be nice to have the ability to add start/stop commands for the container, executed on the host side.

For example, in a project I've working on I have to add some iptables rules once container started.

This can be achieved like so:

{
  containers.demo = {
    config = ...;
  };

  # Commands executed on the host
  systemd.services."container@demo" = {
    preStart = "...";
    postStart = "...";
    preStop = "...";
    postStop = "...";
  };
}

This pattern is used internally by extra-container, e.g. for implementing enableWAN.

Wow, thanks. Haven't found that by myself.
