Eelco Dolstra 0f544f1ea8 * Add a command `forwardPort' to forward a TCP port on the host to a
TCP port on the guest.  Useful during testing (e.g. to access a web
  server in the guest through a web browser on the host).

Eelco Dolstra be0fca5781 * Use QEMU/KVM's paravirtualised console device for the backdoor.
This has the advantage that it doesn't depend on networking being
  up.
* Move common QEMU/KVM guest configuration to profiles/qemu-guest.nix.

Eelco Dolstra 8ce36ffb3a * Use "ip" instead of "ifconfig" for setting up network interfaces,
since the latter is rather deprecated and has been unmaintained
  since 2001.  Note that "ip" doesn't know about classful addressing,
  so you can no longer get away with not specifying the subnet mask
  for explicitly configured interfaces.  So if you had

    networking.interfaces =
      [ { name = "eth0"; ipAddress = "192.168.1.1"; } ];

  this should be changed to

    networking.interfaces =
      [ { name = "eth0";
          ipAddress = "192.168.1.1";
          subnetMask = "255.255.255.0";
        }
     ];

  otherwise you end up with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.255.

Eelco Dolstra 066f76e65f * Remove "nix-build tests -A foo.vms; ./result/bin/run-vms" as a way
to run the VMs of a test.  Instead, you can do

    $ nix-build tests -A foo.driver
    $ ./result/bin/nixos-run-vms

  This uses the test driver infrastructure, which is necessary in
  order to set up the VDE switches.

Eelco Dolstra b3dbcbe249 * Use vde_switch instead of QEMU's multicast feature to tie QEMU VMs
together into virtual networks.  This has several advantages:

  - It's more secure because the QEMU instances use Unix domain
    sockets to talk to the switch.

  - It doesn't depend on the host's network interfaces.  (Local
    multicast fails if there is no default gateway, so for instance it
    fails if a laptop is not connected to any network.)

  - VDE devices can be connected together to form arbitrary network
    topologies.

  - VDE has a "wirefilter" tool to emulate delays and packet loss,
    which are useful for network testing.

2010-12-17 14:59:04 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e90a1cfc59 * A quick hack to enable debugging of VM test scripts: the test script
is now made available in the interactive test driver.  For instance,
  you can do

  $ nix-build tests/ -A quake3.driver
  $ ./result/bin/nixos-test-driver
  > eval $ENV{'testScript'};
  ... see VMs + X11 + Quake get started, bots running around ...
  >

  So after this you can run commands interactively on the VMs in the
  state they were in after the conclusion of the test script.

Eelco Dolstra 445827ad45 * Added a convenience derivation for running the test driver
interactively on a network specification.  For instance:

  $ nix-build tests/ -A quake3.driver
  $ ./result/bin/nixos-test-driver
  > startAll;
  client1: starting vm
  client1: QEMU running (pid 14971)
  server: starting vm
  server: QEMU running (pid 14982)
  ...
  > $client1->execute("quake3 ...");

* Use the GNU readline library in interactive mode.

Eelco Dolstra 2e38d8cd31 * ZOMG, fixed a giant bug in the networking of distributed VM tests.
It turns out that all network interfaces in all VMs had the same
  Ethernet address (52:54:00:12:34:56) because we didn't specify any
  with the macaddr=... option.  This can obviously lead to great
  confusion.  For instance, when a router forwards a packet, it can
  actually end up sending the packet to itself because the target
  machine has the same Ethernet address (causing a loop until the TTL
  expires), while the target *also* receives the packet.  It's amazing
  anything worked at all, really.

  So now we just set the Ethernet addresses to 52:54:00:12:<virtual
  network number>:<machine number>.

2010-11-26 14:16:12 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c958902d44 * Added an option "nixpkgs.system" to specify the system type for
which NixOS should be built.  This is useful in NixOS network
  specifications, because it allows machines in the network to have
  different types, e.g.,

    {
      machine1 =
        { config, pkgs, ... }:
        { nixpkgs.system = "i686-linux";
          ... other config ...
        };

      machine2 =
        { config, pkgs, ... }:
        { nixpkgs.system = "x86_64-linux";
          ... other config ...
        };
    }

  It can also be useful in distributed NixOS tests.

Sander van der Burg 9c722e474d - Added nixos-build-vms command, which builds a virtual network from a network.nix expression (also used by nixos-deploy-network)
- Added a backdoor option to the interactive run-vms script. This allows me to intergrate the virtual network approach with Disnix
- Small documentation fixes

Some explanation:

The nixos-build-vms command line tool can be used to build a virtual network of a network.nix specification.
For example, a network configuration (network.nix) could look like this:

{
  test1 = 
    {pkgs, config, ...}:
 
    {
      services.openssh.enable = true;
      ...
    };

  test2 =
    {pkgs, config, ...}:
    
    {
      services.openssh.enable = true;
      services.xserver.enable = true;
    }

    ;
}

By typing the following instruction:

$ nixos-build-vms -n network.nix

a virtual network is built, which can be started by typing:

$ ./result/bin/run-vms

It is also possible to enable a backdoor. In this case *.socket files are stored in the current directory
which can be used by the end-user to invoke remote instruction on a VM in the network through a Unix
domain socket.

For example by building the network with the following instructions:

$ nixos-build-vms -n network.nix --use-backdoor

and launching the virtual network:

$ ./result/bin/run-vms

You can find two socket files in your current directory, namely: test1.socket and test2.socket.
These Unix domain sockets can be used to remotely administer the test1 and test2 machine
in the virtual network.

For example by running:

$ socat ./test1.socket stdio
ls /root

You can retrieve the contents of the /root directory of the virtual machine with identifier test1
