Media Stack

Media Stack inside of a systemd-nspawn NixOs Container

A modified version of https://github.com/tfc/nspawn-nixos that uses a plain directory instead of tarballs to generate the rootfs of the container.

This configuration with a tarball (see "tarball" branch): ~700 MB
With plain FS: 17 MB (of course everything else is in the nix store)

$ du -sh result/
12K     result/
$ sudo du -sh /var/lib/machines/media-stack
17M     /var/lib/machines/media-stack

• Only works if the container runs in the same machine that builds it.
• Works on non NixOS linux machines, only nix is required.
• Containers must bind the local /nix/store, see media-stack.nspawn.
• Building and importing is faster.

To create a new container:

• Clone this repository
• Edit configuration.nix
• Edit Makefile (change container name)
• Create a *.nspawn file with the container name (see media-stack.nspawn)
