# Imperative Container Management {#sec-imperative-containers}
|
||||
|
||||
We'll cover imperative container management using `nixos-container`
|
||||
first. Be aware that container management is currently only possible as
|
||||
`root`.
|
||||
|
||||
You create a container with identifier `foo` as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
```ShellSession
|
||||
# nixos-container create foo
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This creates the container's root directory in `/var/lib/containers/foo`
|
||||
and a small configuration file in `/etc/containers/foo.conf`. It also
|
||||
builds the container's initial system configuration and stores it in
|
||||
`/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-container/foo/system`. You can modify the
|
||||
initial configuration of the container on the command line. For
|
||||
instance, to create a container that has `sshd` running, with the given
|
||||
public key for `root`:
|
||||
|
||||
```ShellSession
|
||||
# nixos-container create foo --config '
|
||||
services.openssh.enable = true;
|
||||
users.users.root.openssh.authorizedKeys.keys = ["ssh-dss AAAAB3N…"];
|
||||
'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
By default the next free address in the `10.233.0.0/16` subnet will be
|
||||
chosen as container IP. This behavior can be altered by setting
|
||||
`--host-address` and `--local-address`:
|
||||
|
||||
```ShellSession
|
||||
# nixos-container create test --config-file test-container.nix \
|
||||
--local-address 10.235.1.2 --host-address 10.235.1.1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Creating a container does not start it. To start the container, run:
|
||||
|
||||
```ShellSession
|
||||
# nixos-container start foo
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This command will return as soon as the container has booted and has
|
||||
reached `multi-user.target`. On the host, the container runs within a
|
||||
systemd unit called `container@container-name.service`. Thus, if
|
||||
something went wrong, you can get status info using `systemctl`:
|
||||
|
||||
```ShellSession
|
||||
# systemctl status container@foo
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If the container has started successfully, you can log in as root using
|
||||
the `root-login` operation:
|
||||
|
||||
```ShellSession
|
||||
# nixos-container root-login foo
|
||||
[root@foo:~]#
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Note that only root on the host can do this (since there is no
|
||||
authentication). You can also get a regular login prompt using the
|
||||
`login` operation, which is available to all users on the host:
|
||||
|
||||
```ShellSession
|
||||
# nixos-container login foo
|
||||
foo login: alice
|
||||
Password: ***
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
With `nixos-container run`, you can execute arbitrary commands in the
|
||||
container:
|
||||
|
||||
```ShellSession
|
||||
# nixos-container run foo -- uname -a
|
||||
Linux foo 3.4.82 #1-NixOS SMP Thu Mar 20 14:44:05 UTC 2014 x86_64 GNU/Linux
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
There are several ways to change the configuration of the container.
|
||||
First, on the host, you can edit
|
||||
`/var/lib/container/name/etc/nixos/configuration.nix`, and run
|
||||
|
||||
```ShellSession
|
||||
# nixos-container update foo
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This will build and activate the new configuration. You can also specify
|
||||
a new configuration on the command line:
|
||||
|
||||
```ShellSession
|
||||
# nixos-container update foo --config '
|
||||
services.httpd.enable = true;
|
||||
services.httpd.adminAddr = "foo@example.org";
|
||||
networking.firewall.allowedTCPPorts = [ 80 ];
|
||||
'
|
||||
|
||||
# curl http://$(nixos-container show-ip foo)/
|
||||
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN">…
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
However, note that this will overwrite the container's
|
||||
`/etc/nixos/configuration.nix`.
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, you can change the configuration from within the
|
||||
container itself by running `nixos-rebuild switch` inside the container.
|
||||
Note that the container by default does not have a copy of the NixOS
|
||||
channel, so you should run `nix-channel --update` first.
|
||||
|
||||
Containers can be stopped and started using `nixos-container
|
||||
stop` and `nixos-container start`, respectively, or by using
|
||||
`systemctl` on the container's service unit. To destroy a container,
|
||||
including its file system, do
|
||||
|
||||
```ShellSession
|
||||
# nixos-container destroy foo
|
||||
```
