# Media Stack

> Media Stack inside of a systemd-nspawn NixOs Container

A modified version of [https://github.com/tfc/nspawn-nixos](https://github.com/tfc/nspawn-nixos) that uses a plain

directory instead of tarballs to generate the rootfs of the container.

This configuration with a tarball (see "tarball" branch): ~700 MB  

With plain FS: 17 MB (of course everything else is in the nix store)

```sh

$ du -sh result/

12K     result/

$ sudo du -sh /var/lib/machines/media-stack

17M     /var/lib/machines/media-stack

```

- Only works if the container runs in the same machine that builds it.

- Works on non NixOS linux machines, only nix is required.

- Containers must bind the local `/nix/store`, see [media-stack.nspawn](./media-stack.nspawn).

- Building and importing is faster.

To create a new container:

- Clone this repository

- Edit [configuration.nix](./configuration.nix)

- Edit [Makefile](./Makefile) (change container name)

- Create a `*.nspawn` file with the container name (see [media-stack.nspawn](./media-stack.nspawn))
