Hello! I finally got around to play with NixOS' Containers. I'm sure they will be a very useful tool in the future.
However, I seem to have a small issue when using them in an imperative way: 1) Create and start a new container as described in "Imperative container management" 2) Edit /var/lib/containers/<name>/etc/nixos/configuration.nix on the host. 3) run `nixos-container update <name>'. This should - according to the manual - apply the changes I did in the configuration.nix to the container. Instead, it reverts the configuration.nix to the "basic" contents it had right after the creation of the container. Is this an issue in the manual, or is there anything wrong with my approach? I'd really like to do it this way, opposed to the `--config' approach to updating the container. Another issue I see is that `nix-channel --update' in the container doesn't work (it just never returns). So I also can't run `nixos-rebuild' in the container itself. Thanks, Moritz Ulrich
