On booting up an image I'm getting hte following error. VBox actually brings up the settings window for me to play with stuff but I'm not sure what to do. I attempted to delete Adapter 2 and continue, and nixops determined the IP address of my VM but it got stuck on waiting for SSH. I'm not sure

To follow up on this: The solution was to setup signing. So adding a pub/priv keys on remote builder and host machine. Thanks to the awesome people in #nixos for helping me solve this. I'll write something up once I have the rest of the setup figured out for using nixops on OS X. /M Malcolm M

Hi All, I am very fascinated by the idea before NixOS: running same package side by side in multi-user environment. Same package can be installed and packaged into each user's own store path so that they can't interfere with each other, however, how can I run it under say port say 80 for Apache se
