Using pkgs.lib on the spine of module evaluation is problematic
because the pkgs argument depends on the result of module
evaluation. To prevent an infinite recursion, pkgs and some of the
modules are evaluated twice, which is inefficient. Using ‘with lib’
prevents this problem.
- Make dhcp work, use dhcpcd without udev in container
- Make login shell work, patch getty to not wait for /dev/tty0
- Make ssh work, sshd/pam do not start session
For example, the following sets up a container named ‘foo’. The
container will have a single network interface eth0, with IP address
10.231.136.2. The host will have an interface c-foo with IP address
10.231.136.1.
systemd.containers.foo =
{ privateNetwork = true;
hostAddress = "10.231.136.1";
localAddress = "10.231.136.2";
config =
{ services.openssh.enable = true; };
};
With ‘privateNetwork = true’, the container has the CAP_NET_ADMIN
capability, allowing it to do arbitrary network configuration, such as
setting up firewall rules. This is secure because it cannot touch the
interfaces of the host.
The helper program ‘run-in-netns’ is needed at the moment because ‘ip
netns exec’ doesn't quite do the right thing (it remounts /sys without
bind-mounting the original /sys/fs/cgroups).
This patch adds support for the creations of new bond devices, aggregate
pipes of physical devices for extra throughput or failover.
Additionally, add better correction at the startup of a bridge
of vlan interface (delete old, stale interfaces).
