Re: [Nix-dev] Nixops on headless server
One reason I received: VBoxManage: error: Details: code NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005) was when vboxnet0 was not set up yet. Use `ip link` to see up the vboxnet0 interface is up and running. I had to restart my server once before it showed up after installing everything needed for virtualbox. Is the server you are running this set up by nixops as well? If so you many need to include: require = [ nixos/modules/programs/virtualbox.nix ]; In the expression. I had to include: deployment.virtualbox.headless = true; in the virtualbox's nix expression, your logical.nix. Are you running your server on amazon's or possible another cloud environment? There are numerous complaints online that running virtualbox on many of the cloud environments is harder or impossible.

I made several attempts but no one worked so far. The example you shared should work. Could you try to run: VBoxManage startvm nixops-9a9af89c-6bc6-11e3-9d50-23ed2c71331d-webserver --type headless And provide us with the output? This is the command that nixops runs when starting the VM.

Re: [Nix-dev] nixops deploy to vbox waiting for ip address indefinitely
waiting for IP address I got this response when trying to boot a virtualbox machine, through nixops, on vmware fusion and at one point on an ec2 instance. Though I can not longer reproduce this on ec2, now gets stuck attaching the disk. The first time I tried it on a dedicated server with linux running on the metal it worked the first time. the virtualbox gui pops up and a machine is started, I can see the grub menu appear briefly, but then the command hangs at I also got this when trying it on vmware, but never have been able to take the time to find out exactly where things go wrong. I am currently running nixops 1.2, but I believe the behavior existed back when nixops was charon. So if by chance you have not tried it on the metal yet it might be worth a shot. Hope that helps.

When issuing the command # nixops deploy -d trivial the virtualbox gui pops up and a machine is started, I can see the grub menu appear briefly, but then the command hangs at webserver waiting for IP address and just continues to output dots. I did some investigating and found that the python code that is nixops executes another command: # VBoxManage guestproperty get # nixops-36f68870-6be3-11e3-9b1e-f0def1f76f2d- webserver /VirtualBox/GuestInfo/Net/1/V4/IP which (both when executed through python or manually) results in No value set! This seems to be some problem with my virtualbox setup, but I wasn't able to find help on this searching the web. I guess that there are a lot people here on this list who do similar stuff so that's why I am asking here: Any advice? Did I miss something obvious? Here's some additional info: OS: Ubuntu 13.10 virtualbox: 4.2.16-dfsg-3 (installed from the ubuntu repos) nixops: 1.1.1 Running nixops as root.
