Enforce proper naming: all paths are lowercase and hyphen-separated, if there's a line of models (aspire, macbook-pro, thinkpad) it becomes a subdirectory. Documentation for profiles is moved to README files in respective directories. Add an Org mode table that lists all available profiles and their paths. Instead of fetching repo locally, use a Nix channel. Making hardware profiles read-only should improve quality and amount of participation long-term.

This is a setup for installing NixOS in Hyper-V as a guest.
|
|
|
|
I don't have details handy anymore on the detailed steps I had to do on the Windows host
|
|
(there's no NixWindows yet, unfortunately...), so you'll have to try googling that yourself, e.g. something like
|
|
"linux on hyper-v" or "ubuntu on hyper-v". (You're welcome to send PRs with improvements of this guide.)
|
|
Below, I'm providing only the info with what to do on the NixOS side of things.
|
|
|
|
## Installation ##
|
|
|
|
I basically followed the [guide for NixOS on VirtualBox](https://nixos.org/wiki/Installing_NixOS_in_a_VirtualBox_guest).
|
|
However, some additional changes in `/etc/nixos/configuration.nix` were required to really make it work
|
|
(I don't include them as a .nix file, as they must be done **before `nixos-install`**, and I'm not sure how to proceed
|
|
with cloning the nixos-hardware repo at this stage):
|
|
|
|
# REQUIRED - see: https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs/issues/9899
|
|
boot.initrd.kernelModules = ["hv_vmbus" "hv_storvsc"];
|
|
|
|
# RECOMMENDED
|
|
# - use 800x600 resolution for text console, to make it easy to fit on screen
|
|
boot.kernelParams = ["video=hyperv_fb:800x600"]; # https://askubuntu.com/a/399960
|
|
# - avoid a problem with `nix-env -i` running out of memory
|
|
boot.kernel.sysctl."vm.overcommit_memory" = "1"; # https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/421
|
|
|
|
# UNKNOWN - not sure if below are needed; were suggested for VirtualBox and I used them
|
|
boot.loader.grub.device = "/dev/sda";
|
|
boot.initrd.checkJournalingFS = false;
|
|
|
|
## Shared folder ##
|
|
|
|
To share a folder between Windows host and Linux/NixOS guest, the typical solution seems to be to make a folder "shared"
|
|
on Windows, then access it via Samba from NixOS.
|
|
On the Windows host, I had to make an additional virtual switch in Hyper-V Manager, with mode "internal".
|
|
Then in properties of the virtual network card on Windows host (attached to the virtual switch), I
|
|
changed the IP to a fixed 10.0.0.100 (mask 255.255.255.240). I also added a special purpose user on the host, with some
|
|
long randomly generated password, to act as Samba credentials for NixOS.
|
|
To test that it works, I used the following commands:
|
|
|
|
$ nix-env -iA nixos.samba
|
|
$ smbclient -L //10.0.0.100 -U shares-guest%ReplaceWithSomeLongRandomlyGeneratedPassword
|
|
Domain=[DESKTOP-ABCD123] OS=[Windows 10 Pro 14393] Server=[Windows 10 Pro 6.3]

|
|
|
$ nix-env -e samba
|
|
|

Then I added the following lines in `/etc/nixos/configuration.nix`:

|
|
|
# Client for shared folder on Windows Hyper-V host
|
|
# Based on: nixpkgs.git/nixos/tests/samba.nix
|
|
fileSystems."/vm-share" = {
|
|
fsType = "cifs";
|
|
device = "//10.0.0.100/shared-space";
|
|
options = [ "username=shares-guest" "password=ReplaceWithSomeLongRandomlyGeneratedPassword" ];
|
|
};
|
|
networking.interfaces.eth1.ip4 = [{address="10.0.0.101"; prefixLength=28;}];
