# This module creates a virtual machine from the NixOS configuration.

# Building the `config.system.build.vm' attribute gives you a command
|
|
# that starts a KVM/QEMU VM running the NixOS configuration defined in
|
|
# `config'. The Nix store is shared read-only with the host, which
|
|
# makes (re)building VMs very efficient. However, it also means you
|
|
# can't reconfigure the guest inside the guest - you need to rebuild
|
|
# the VM in the host. On the other hand, the root filesystem is a
|
|
# read/writable disk image persistent across VM reboots.
