saturnOS

this is the basis of the saturnOS operating system ( sorry guix enjoyers )

to check for syntax errors, run nix repl replEval.nix and once inside the repl, run imported to check for syntax errors

Building and Running

VM

To build the VM: nix run github:nix-community/nixos-generators -- -c default.nix -f vm -o result/vm This will build the VM, and register the result in the result/vm symlink.

To run the VM, use sudo result/vm/bin/run-qemu-vm. (sudo can probably be avoided if you are in the KVM group... I think. TODO Lambda look this up)

You can combine the two steps with the following: sudo $(nix run github:nix-community/nixos-generators -- -c default.nix -f vm -o result/vm)

Or to build and run without registering a link (Good if you want a throw away VM which can be garbage collected): sudo $(nix run github:nix-community/nixos-generators -- -c default.nix -f vm)
