vm: 'system-docker-image' builds in a UTF-8 locale.

2019-06-17T10:36:13Z

Fixes . Reported by Björn Höfling . This is a followup to 9c941364bfc0120e3ab5c5c4cc71a9a302d59a2b. * gnu/system/vm.scm (system-docker-image)[build]: Set GUIX_LOCPATH and call 'setlocale'.

vm: Create installation media with MBR and HFS only, no GPT.

2019-05-18T16:35:37Z

* gnu/build/vm.scm (make-iso9660-image): Accept XORRISO, GRUB-MKRESCUE-ENVIRONMENT. * gnu/system/vm.scm (iso9660-image): Pass XORRISO; accept GRUB-MKRESCUE-ENVIRONMENT. (system-disk-image): Pass GRUB-MKRESCUE-ENVIRONMENT. * gnu/packages/patches/xorriso-no-mbr-in-inner-efi.patch: New file. * gnu/packages/patches/xorriso-no-partition-table-in-inner-efi.patch: New file. * gnu/local.mk (dist_patch_DATA): Add them. * gnu/packages/cdrom.scm (xorriso)[source]: Add patches. [arguments]<#:phases>[install-frontends]: Add phase.

vm: 'system-docker-image' provides an entry point.

2019-05-15T14:36:21Z

This simplifies use of images created with 'guix system docker-image'. * gnu/system/vm.scm (system-docker-image)[boot-program]: New variable. [os]: Add it to the GC roots. [build]: Pass #:entry-point to 'build-docker-image'. * gnu/tests/docker.scm (run-docker-system-test): New procedure. (%test-docker-system): New variable. * doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix system): Remove GUIX_NEW_SYSTEM hack and '--entrypoint' from the example. Mention 'docker create', 'docker start', and 'docker exec'.

vm: Auto-detect if inputs should be registered.

The default value of the argument REGISTER-CLOSURE? of the ISO9660-IMAGE, QEMU-IMAGE and SYSTEM-DOCKER-IMAGE procedures can be computed automatically, since the operating-system definition is available in its context. When the operating-system definition does not contain the GUIX-SERVICE-TYPE, do not register the closure in the database of Guix, as it takes time and doesn't serve a purpose. * gnu/system/vm.scm (has-guix-service-type): Add predicate. (iso9660-image)[register-closures?]: Use it to compute the argument's default value. (qemu-image)[register-closures?]: Likewise, and update docstring. (system-docker-image)[register-closures?]: Likewise. (system-disk-image): Do not explicit a value for the REGISTER-CLOSURES? argument of the ISO9660-IMAGE and QEMU-IMAGE procedure calls, so that its default value is used instead. * guix/scripts/system.scm (system-derivation-for-action): Do not explicit a value for the REGISTER-CLOSURES? argument of the SYSTEM-DOCKER-IMAGE procedure call, so that its default value is used instead.

vm: Build ISOs and VM images in a UTF-8 environment.

2019-05-01T19:11:22Z

Fixes a bug whereby building an image containing non-ASCII file names would fail due to improper decoding of file names. * gnu/system/vm.scm (iso9660-image, qemu-image): Set GUIX_LOCPATH and call 'setlocale' in the build environment.

vm: 'system-disk-image' no longer requires the OS to define the "/" file system.

2019-04-24T22:45:35Z

Previously 'guix system disk-image' would fail if the OS didn't define a "/" file system, even though it actually overrides that file system. * gnu/system/vm.scm (system-disk-image)[root-uuid]: Turn into a procedure. Call 'root-uuid' on a variant of OS with a "/" file system and inherit from that.

vm: Do not mount /xchg with "cache=loose".

2019-04-14T15:42:08Z

Fixes . * gnu/system/vm.scm (%linux-vm-file-systems): Remove "cache=loose" for /xchg. (system-docker-image): Remove 'sync' call, now unneeded, and which was probably insufficient.

vm: Ask QEMU for more RAM in the VM that makes ISO9660 images.

2019-03-27T10:54:06Z

* gnu/system/vm.scm (iso9660-image): Pass #:memory-size to 'expression->derivation-in-linux-vm'.

system: Add 'essential-services' field to .

2019-03-25T22:37:06Z

* gnu/system.scm ()[essential-services]: New field. (operating-system-directory-base-entries): Remove #:container? keyword and keep only the not-container branch. (essential-services): Likewise. (operating-system-services): Likewise, and call 'operating-system-essential-services' instead of 'essential-services'. (operating-system-activation-script): Remove #:container?. (operating-system-boot-script): Likewise. (operating-system-derivation): Likewise. * gnu/system/linux-container.scm (container-essential-services): New procedure. (containerized-operating-system): Use it and set the 'essential-services' field. (container-script): Remove call to 'operating-system-derivation'. * gnu/system/vm.scm (system-docker-image): Likewise. * doc/guix.texi (operating-system Reference): Document 'essential-services'.

vm: 'virtualized-operating-system' inherits from the user's bootloader config.

2019-03-24T22:06:11Z

* gnu/system/vm.scm (virtualized-operating-system): Inherit from the bootloader of OS.
