Installation
Fetch it from the NixOS binary cache:
nix-store -r /nix/store/1f5zgx8qykz2fxzhqphmsfp6cvpnfc94-linuxkit-builder
nix-env -i /nix/store/1f5zgx8qykz2fxzhqphmsfp6cvpnfc94-linuxkit-builder
nix-linuxkit-configure
It'll write to:
- ~/.cache/nix-linuxkit-builder/, in particular ~/.cache/nix-linuxkit-builder/nix-state/console-ring is interesting
- ~root/.ssh/ for the SSH config
- /etc/nix/machines
- ~/Library/LaunchAgents/org.nix-community.linuxkit-builder.plist
It should automatically start and stay running, but ...
You can force start it with:
launchctl start org.nix-community.linuxkit-builder
You can force stop it with:
launchctl stop org.nix-community.linuxkit-builder
If after you stop it you may want to check for processes, like:
pgrep vpnkit
pgrep linuxkit
pgrep hyperkit
If something goes wrong and it didn't stop propery, you can try:
pkill -F ~/.cache/nix-linuxkit-builder/nix-state/hyperkit.pid hyperkit
