In my case replacing an LXC instance.</p><p>nixos-containers.nix needs some --bind patching with :idmap</p><p>Added extraFlags to container with private-users/chown, allowedDevices with rwm /dev/net/tun</p><p>Logrotate breaks but can be fixed with a couple of lines.</p><p>root-login to the container to set a password will leave /etc/.pwd.lock as nobody. Delete it.</p><p>Work in progress.</p>

flashfox<p>Not really surprising though I guess, its the corporate way of doing things.<br>You do something shady, get called out, apologize in an hand wavy, noncommittal kind of way, promise to do better, and then instead of doing anything wait until it blows over and quietly bring the thing back.<br>It's really kind of a classic.</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/nix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nix</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/nixos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nixos</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/devenv" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>devenv</span></a></p>

Rather than trying to install Ansible and have a customized python3 (with hvac and kubernetes modules etc.) as a "build input" I have tried the other way round: Adding ansible and ansible-core to the python package:</p><p>```<br>(pkgs.python3.withPackages (python-pkgs: [<br> python-pkgs.ansible<br> python-pkgs.ansible-core<br> python-pkgs.hvac<br> python-pkgs.kubernetes<br> ]))<br>```</p><p>A short test was successful, tasks delegated to localhost found the kubernetes module and could successfully do things! Hooray!</p>
