@zyklotomic thanks for looking at this. I have zero experience with NixOS.. but I'll take a look as soon as I can find some time! |

I just took a look at it and it seems like there are problems with the My nix package for virtme-ng.{

Yes, I forgot to update! I realized the issues early on. Thanks for looking into this too. I was able to hack something usable with a similar idea together here: https://github.com/zyklotomic/kernel-flake. Still a WIP though. I essentially mount my nix tree with virtiofsd so that I can run my regular host's utilites too. |

Wondering if anyone was able to get this to run on NixOS. I wrote a flake and believe I got
vngthe binary to build and install properly. Furthermore, I was able to build the kernel viavng -b. However, I was unable to get the vm to actually run.Will share my flake soon.
