Eelco has made several early contributions to NixOS including writing
the samba module among other things, but is more or less inactive these
days.
By my brief inspection, he has not committed to the nixos/ tree since
releasing Nix 2.13 in early 2023 and merging a PR to networking tests
slightly before that. A lot of these tests/modules are actually
unmaintained in practice, so we should update the code to reflect the
practical reality so someone can consider picking them up.
the default hasn't been changed since 2009
this can improve our test performances
nixos/tests: remove explicit memorySize <1024
1024MiB is now the default
pathsInNixDB isn't a very accurate name when a Nix store image is
built (virtualisation.useNixStoreImage); rename it to additionalPaths,
which should be general enough to cover both cases.
According to systemd-nspawn(1), --network-bridge implies --network-veth,
and --port option is supported only when private networking is enabled.
Fixes#52417.
reason: after the upgrade of iputils from 20151218 to 20161105
functionality of ping6 and tracepath6 was merged into ping and tracepath.
Ping is now mostly a drop-in replacment for ping6, except that selecting a
specific interface is done by encoding it into the address (ex.: fe80::1%eth0)
rather then specifing it with the `-I` flag.
A testcase each for
- declarative ipv6-only container
Seems odd to define the container IPs with their prefix length attached.
There should be a better way…
- declarative bridged container
Also fix the ping test by waiting for the container to start
When the ping was executed, the container might not have finished starting. Or
the host-side of the container wasn't finished with config. Waiting for
2 seconds in between fixes this.
