I just want to +1 this concept. I'm not sure if it's already possible, but I'd love to be able to do something like this where I can just nix build .#
and my outputs are VM images.
So I'm somewhat out of my depth, but I added a nixosGenerate
function to my fork which I'm testing here. It works basically like you suggest
outputs = { system, nixpkgs, nixosGenerate }: {
lxcImage = nixosGenerate{
inherit system pkgs;
modules = [ ./configuration.nix ];
format = "lxc";
};
}
I can run commands like nix build .#lxcImage
and result
is populated with the image.
This seems to work for several of the formats I've tried, but again I feel a little out of my depth. I opened #119 for comment.
