Nix app vms
Simple application VM's based on Nix package manager.
Designed primarily for full screen usage without guest additions.
It's a proof-of-concept, but you can still use it. Also there is a lot of strange things inside, don't afraid of :)
Install Nix package manager
$ su -c 'mkdir -m 0755 /nix && chown user /nix'
$ curl https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh
Dependencies
$ su -c 'USE="spice virtfs" emerge qemu virt-manager'
Add appvm to PATH
$ echo 'PATH=$PATH:$HOME/appvm/bin' >> ~/.bashrc
(if you clone appvm to home directory)
Generate resolution
By default uses 3840x2160. If you need to regenerate appvm/nix/monitor.nix
:
$ appvm/appvm.sh generate-resolution 1920 1080 > appvm/nix/monitor.nix
Autodetection is a bash-spaghetti, so you need to check results. BTW it's just a X.org monitor section.
Create VM
$ $HOME/appvm/appvm.sh build chromium
Run application
$ appvm.chromium
Shared directory
$ ls appvm/share/chromium
foo.tar.gz
bar.tar.gz
Close VM
$ pkill.... :)
