NixOS guest container created on a NixOS Host running in vpsadminos is not starting.

Container snippet

{
    testcontainer = { ... }:
        {
            system.stateVersion = "18.09";
            deployment.container.host = "<NixOS host>";
            deployment.targetEnv = "container";
        };
}

Host snippet

{
...
boot.enableContainers = true;
...
}

Result:

$ nixops deploy -d testcontainer

I had no idea what's going on when you first reported it, but now I've confirmed it to be an AppArmor issue. It doesn't report anything to kernel log which had me confused. We'll get it sorted next week or so.

Should be fixed by 23ac899, which was deployed to staging yesterday. systemd-nspawn --private-network and thus nixos containers should now work. Can you confirm?

Confirming the container is up. Got a couple of networking problems but that could just be bad config. This issue can be closed as far as I'm concerned. Thanks!

There seems to be some kind of a problem with networking. I'll dig deeper.

I don't see any showstopper in the log you sent. The device related errors should be harmless.

Here's what I tried:

boot.enableContainers = true;
  containers.webik = {
    privateNetwork = true;
    hostAddress = "192.168.100.10";
    localAddress = "192.168.100.11";
    config = 
      { config, pkgs, ... }:
      {
        networking.firewall.allowedTCPPorts = [ 80 ];
        services.nginx.enable = true;
      };
  };

[root@nixos:~]# curl http://192.168.100.11
<html>
<head><title>404 Not Found</title></head>

<center><h1>404 Not Found</h1></center>

Imperative containers with network as in https://nixos.org/nixos/manual/index.html#sec-container-networking work for me too, even the NAT setup described below.

My guess is that you hit firewall in the container and you need to open ports, that was my only issue. If you still have problems, send us your configuration and show what do you expect to be working and doesn't.

I got carried away by the

Sep 05 17:48:37 nhost systemd[1]: Failed to set devices.allow on /machine.slice/container@test.service: Operation not permitted

You're right, there's no problem, I just forgot that declarative containers don't get their network configured automatically.
