Add NixOS #38

What is the process for adding new distros? I would like to add NixOS images to the registry. I can write the build configurations myself, but want to make sure new distros are accepted first.

My main use case is getting Chrome OS laptops setup with Crostini, so if there are other registries that support this, please point me there.

More information at: https://nixos.org

nixos/lxd-container.nix: init
405ccc1 
Fixes NixOS#43781

Add an LXD-based container. Based on some documentation found here:

https://github.com/lxc/lxd/blob/master/doc/image-handling.md

It’s very close to the lxc container image, but with the toplevel in
rootfs/ and some meta information in metadata.yaml. I took some basic
info from the NixOS configuration for this. My main use case is
getting a Chrome OS laptop setup with Crostini.

Eventually, I want to try to get this in some image registries like
https://us.images.linuxcontainers.org/, but they don’t appear to have
any process for including new distros. I’ve opened an issue here:

Yep, new distros are definitely accepted. :)

Hi, I'm closing this issue here as there's currently nothing for us to add to lxc-ci.

The normal process to add a distro for us is to get it working with https://github.com/lxc/distrobuilder including a basic .yaml for it. Once that's done, ping me and I'll add it to jenkins so it builds on our infrastructure daily and makes it to images.linuxcontainers.org

Thanks!
