[Nix-dev] using qemu virtual machine for testing software

[Tomasz Czyż]

Hi Tomas,

yeah, I've been there :-)
I have a problem with TCP connection not with starting the machine.

Basically, if you use VirtualBox it giving you kind of local networking for
free, same as docker default setup. I was wondering if it's possible to
have the same with qemu without setting up the bridge, ips etc by my own,
but after some digging I don't think it's possible.

I end up with port forwarding from qemu to localhost by adding params to
qemu in nix machine expression.
