I think it's possible. It is even done for imperative containers: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/98a9d815e05dd56aba0f9040d96092335cd90444/pkgs/tools/virtualization/nixos-container/nixos-container.pl#L131 (but I think 11 chars is too restrictive - veth name should be 16 chars max minus 3 for "ve-" or "vb-")
Another possibility to remove this (unintuitive IMO) restriction is to generate veth name uniquely by some hashing (like it's done in https://github.com/chrisfarms/nixos-shell ). Yet another possibility - expose veth name as configurable container parameter (break abstraction). 2017-03-14 16:48 GMT+02:00 Thomas Hunger <tehun...@gmail.com>: > Would it be possible to add an assert if there are any restrictions on the > naming?
