Christine Dodrill	5813da885c	tstest/integration/vms: verbosify nixos logs to fs, disable unstable (#2294) ... This puts nix build logs on the filesystem so that we can debug them later. This also disables nixos unstable until https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/128783 is fixed. Signed-off-by: Christine Dodrill <xe@tailscale.com>	3 years ago
Christine Dodrill	b131a74f99	tstest/integration/vms: build and run NixOS (#2190) ... Okay, so, at a high level testing NixOS is a lot different than other distros due to NixOS' determinism. Normally NixOS wants packages to be defined in either an overlay, a custom packageOverrides or even yolo-inline as a part of the system configuration. This is going to have us take a different approach compared to other distributions. The overall plan here is as following: 1. make the binaries as normal 2. template in their paths as raw strings to the nixos system module 3. run `nixos-generators -f qcow -o $CACHE_DIR/tailscale/nixos/version -c generated-config.nix` 4. pass that to the steps that make the virtual machine It doesn't really make sense for us to use a premade virtual machine image for this as that will make it harder to deterministically create the image. Nix commands generate a lot of output, so their output is hidden behind the `-verbose-nix-output` flag. This unfortunately makes this test suite have a hard dependency on Nix/NixOS, however the test suite has only ever been run on NixOS (and I am not sure if it runs on other distros at all), so this probably isn't too big of an issue.
