Building and running not-os image in QEMU?
Hi. I'm new to nix and want to ask if you have an idea how to build an ISO image file of not-os and run it on QEMU virt vanager?

oh oops, I think I was intending to type "crowd source" but I really met "crowd fund".
I do want to finish my FreeBSD cross PR, but is is hard. We already have NetBSD working, including building the kernel, so I think it is better to start there.
I opened https://github.com/cleverca22/not-os/issues/16 because I think that would be the absolute easiest first step, with the fewest moving parts. But I don't know how kernels, even Linux, are packaged into bootable thingies at all.

What does the minimal version of NixOS consist of?

NixOS 21.05 Released
It's like an OS that has builtin salt/ansible/chef/puppet.
Because Nix language describe the OS instead of what to change/configure it's superior to these tools, and solves the problem that supposedly same machines are drifting apart.
For example if in the CM you tell it to install a package, then change your mind and remove the entry that does it. The package will remain installed.
With NixOS if you remove the package from configuration, it's gone.
I personally really like Nix's building capability. For example I can use it to generate a minimal docker container. It requires some knowledge, but I can also modify compilation options in dependencies (like remove unneeded functionality).
It looks like there's also an option to similarly build lightweight OS images[1]. I haven't tried it yet but looks cool.

Is it possible to deploy configuration as code?
You might want to check out https://github.com/telent/nixwrt and https://github.com/cleverca22/not-os as solutions with similar goals. The former is a promising but yet-unfinished way of using Nix to manage a router, while the latter is a similar way of using Nix to generate an immutable OS image.
- Is it possible to replace systemd with runit?

Manage libvirt's XMLs with Nix?
There is nixos-shell, but I'm thinking about Windows VM's mostly.

NixOS 21.05 Released
>It doesn't work so well for I borrowed my coworker's computer for 5 minutes and want to use my own Vim configuration
You could use something like nixos-shell[1] to spin up a headless VM of your machine into your current shell.

How do you enter the NixOS docker container?
as mentioned, the Nix docker container isnt a full NixOS system, it's just the nix package manager. If you want to try a quick full NixOS setup I really like https://github.com/Mic92/nixos-shell . It spawns a lightweight NixOS vm in the current shell. No qemu or kvm setup or knowledge required.
