[Nix-dev] nixops virtualbox disk size

[Joel Moberg]

You are going to have to build a custom image I think, maybe you can use
the prebuilt, and resize it, look futher down the page here
https://github.com/NixOS/nixops/blob/master/nix/virtualbox.nix#L132 . It
looks like the main disk have to be on port 0. So if you would have
virtualbox.disks.disk1 = { port=0;
baseImage="${pkgs.richards-image}/image-name.vdi";
};

If you build a custom image, I think the command is something along:
nix-build ~/nixpkgs-repo/nixos/release.nix -A
config.system.build.virtualBoxImage -I nixos-config=path-to-nixos-config

But the best is maybe to create a declaration for this, then you can look
more into nixos/release.nix and modules ... virtualbox.nix.
