nix-snapshotter 0.2.0

Welcome to the v0.2.0 release of nix-snapshotter!

Highlights

• Provides NixOS & Home Manager modules for rootless Kubernetes (k3s) + nix-snapshotter
• Separate nix run .#vm and nix run .#vm-rootless
• Separate preload-container service into independent modules
• Pin k3s to v1.27.9+k3s1 with patches to enable embedded nix-snapshotter
  • k3s PR to support nix-snapshotter: k3s-io/k3s#9319

New options (NixOS & Home Manager)

• Services preload-containerd & preload-containerd.rootless:

  config.services.preload-containerd = {
    enable = true;
    targets = [{
      archives = [ pkgs.nix-snapshotter.buildImage { /* ... */ } ];
      namespace = "k8s.io";
      address = "/run/k3s/containerd/containerd.sock";
    }];
  };

• New options for k3s & new service k3s.rootless:

  config.services.k3s = {
    enable = true;
    # Sets the snapshotter for embedded containerd.
    snapshotter = "nix";
    # Sets KUBECONFIG env var to point to k3s.
    setKubeConfig = true;
    # Sets CONTAINERD_* env vars to point to k3s embedded containerd.
    setEmbeddedContainerd = true;
  }

• New options for containerd & containerd.rootless:

  config.virtualisation.containerd = {
    enable = true;
    # Enable integration with nix-snapshotter.
    nixSnapshotterIntegration = true;
    # Set the CONTAINERD_* env vars, but also set automatically by
    # `nixSnapshotterIntegration` or by `services.k3s.setEmbeddedContainerd`.
    setAddress = "/run/containerd/containerd.sock";
    setNamespace = "default";
    setSnapshotter = "nix";
  }

• New option only for NixOS module containerd:

  config.virtualisation.containerd = {
    enable = true;
    # Enable integration with k3s. This is mutually exclusive with setting
    # `services.k3s.snapshotter` and `services.k3s.setEmbeddedContainerd`.
    k3sIntegration = true;
  };

  # v0.2.0 (same for rootless)
  virtualisation.containerd = {
    enable = true;
    nixSnapshotterIntegration = true;
  };
  services.nix-snapshotter = {
    enable = true;
  };

• Removed options.services.nix-snapshotter.preloadContainerdImages
