is there a hydra irc freenode channel by chance?
<
gchristensen>
what's up?
<
samueldr>
I think they spell it #nixos
<
samueldr>
though cheeky, it's probably one of the better places to ask for general questions about hydra
<
samrose>
was going to inquire if anyone had experience running packer in nixos
<
samrose>
cool, I had been asking there, but not sure. People are helpful so no complaints here :)
<
samueldr>
not sure about packer in hydra, but packer was/is used for the virutalbox box IIRC
<
samueldr>
vagrant box*
<
samrose>
yes indeed
<
samrose>
I have that working locally
<
samrose>
I guess if I build packer for nixos, then I can run it like a shell command
<
samrose>
and output a vbox image, kind of like we are doign with ISO and SD image
<
samrose>
(I'd rather just have hydra run packer than to do it outside after I build an image in hydra)
<
andi->
what need is packer? I only see a use-case if you are trying to use Nix (with packer) to generate non-nixos images.
<
andi->
s/need/use/
<
samueldr>
there's a nixos image generated using packer :)
<
samrose>
andi-: you may be right that there is no need. I am not aware of another route to produce a virtualbox image that is native to nixos
<
samueldr>
might want to check the ova builds, samrose
<
samrose>
samueldr: yes I had forked nixbox and it works well
<
andi->
qemu-img or vboxtools to convert the image?
<
samrose>
hmmm cool
<
samrose>
samueldr: I was not aware of ova builds
<
samueldr>
<nixos/modules/virtualisation/virtualbox-image.nix>
<
samueldr>
nixos/release.nix, search for `ova = `
<
samrose>
very nice I am going to try this
