Re: [Nix-dev] add ubuntu support to debootstrap

1. it wouldn't hurt to have both. maybe even to package mkosi[1].

2. systemd-nspawn) is patched a bit to add one additional init script
(you can check what nixos-container script does), but i think it
should (by default) work as in upstream. if nothing i can confirm your
error that running debian/ubuntu via debootstrap and systemd-nspawn
fails with error you provided. i think best would be to open an issue
(if it doesn't exist already) for this and lets get this working.

[Nix-dev] add ubuntu support to debootstrap

[Stefan Huchler]

Hi,

I made a ubuntu version of the debootstrap installer, which adds support
to ubuntu releases.

I could upload that "debootstrap-ubuntu" version to github and open a PR
for it.

But I wonder if that makes sense, cause the debootstrap version of
ubuntu comes with the scripts for debian and ubuntu.

So why not just use that version of debootstrap instead of the one from
debian directly?

diff pkgs/tools/misc/debootstrap-ubuntu/default.nix 
pkgs/tools/misc/debootstrap/default.nix
28,29c28,29
<   name = "debootstrap-ubuntu-${version}";
<   version = "1.0.81ubuntu3";
---
>   name = "debootstrap-${version}";
>   version = "1.0.80";

---

thats basicly what I did, it installs / runs and works just had to
disable pgp check:

debootstrap-ubuntu --no-check-gpg xenial ubuntu 
I: Retrieving InRelease 
I: Retrieving Packages

I: Base system installed successfully.


this is neat especialy because the machinectl pull-tar functionality
doesnt work too, so this is a good method to get systemd-nspawn
compatible build.

Well or is it?

$ sudo systemd-nspawn -b -D ubuntu/
Spawning container ubuntu on /home/black/virt/ubuntu.
Press ^] three times within 1s to kill container.
/etc/localtime does not point into /usr/share/zoneinfo/, not updating container 
timezone.
Cannot be run in a chroot() environment.
Freezing execution.

Well is nspawn buggy in nixos? that should work as far as I know.

So sorry now thats 2 topics:
1. would it make sense to use the ubuntu-debootstrap version (with the
scripts from ubuntu) or should I make a PR for the ubuntu-version?
2. is systemd-nspawn working?
