feat(qcow): add support for specifying contents in a qcow image via specialArgs
I wanted to be able to inject files into a qcow image using the content
parameter in the qcow builder; I just passed it in via specialArgs
.
Not really sure if this is the best way to do it, but it worked for me.
Here is an example of how it can be called:
let
fs = nixpkgs.lib.fileset;
sourceFiles = fs.unions [
./configuration.nix
./flake.nix
./README.md
];
in ...
qcow = nixos-generators.nixosGenerate {
system = "x86_64-linux";
modules = [ ./configuration.nix ];
format = "qcow";
specialArgs = {
qcow.contents = [
{
source = fs.toSource {
root = ./.;
fileset = sourceFiles;
};
target = "/root/nixos-config";
user = "root";
group = "root";
mode = "755";
}
];
};
