libvirt
Remote setup with NixOS
Usually, you connect to libvirt
using qmeu:///system
or qemu+ssh://…
. This works in
most case but sometimes you want to expose libvirt on tcp (with or without TLS). One such
example is for openshift/installer
.
boot.kernel.sysctl = { "net.ipv4.ip_forward" = 1 ; }; virtualisation.libvirtd = { extraConfig = '' listen_tls = 0 listen_tcp = 1 auth_tcp="none" tcp_port = "16509" ''; extraOptions = [ "--listen" ] }; networking.firewall.allowedTCPPorts = [ 16509 ];
For openshift
purpose we may want dns entry like echo
server=/tt.testing/192.168.126.1 | sudo tee /etc/NetworkManager/dnsmasq.d/openshift.conf
.
