The setting
QEMU_NET_OPTS="hostfwd=tcp::2222-:22"
caused the VM's port 2222 to be advertised on the host as
`0.0.0.0:2222`, thus anybody in the local network of the host
could SSH into the VM.
Instead, port-forward to localhost only.
Use `127.0.0.1` also on the VM side, otherwise connections to
services that, in the VM, bind to `127.0.0.1` only
(doing the safe approach) do not work.
See e.g. https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/100192
for more info why localhost listening is the best default.

NixOS
NixOS is a Linux distribution based on the purely functional package management system Nix. More information can be found at https://nixos.org/nixos and in the manual in doc/manual.
Testing changes
You can add new module to your NixOS configuration file (usually it’s /etc/nixos/configuration.nix). And do sudo nixos-rebuild test -I nixpkgs=<path to your local nixpkgs folder> --fast.
Reviewing contributions
When changing the bootloader installation process, extra care must be taken. Grub installations cannot be rolled back, hence changes may break people’s installations forever. For any non-trivial change to the bootloader please file a PR asking for review, especially from @edolstra.
Module updates
Module updates are submissions changing modules in some ways. These often contains changes to the options or introduce new options.
Reviewing process:
- Ensure that the module maintainers are notified.
- CODEOWNERS will make GitHub notify users based on the submitted changes, but it can happen that it misses some of the package maintainers.
- Ensure that the module tests, if any, are succeeding.
- Ensure that the introduced options are correct.
- Type should be appropriate (string related types differs in their merging capabilities,
loaOfandstringtypes are deprecated). - Description, default and example should be provided.
- Type should be appropriate (string related types differs in their merging capabilities,
- Ensure that option changes are backward compatible.
mkRenamedOptionModuleWithprovides a way to make option changes backward compatible.
- Ensure that removed options are declared with
mkRemovedOptionModule - Ensure that changes that are not backward compatible are mentioned in release notes.
- Ensure that documentations affected by the change is updated.
Sample template for a module update review is provided below.
##### Reviewed points
- [ ] changes are backward compatible
- [ ] removed options are declared with `mkRemovedOptionModule`
- [ ] changes that are not backward compatible are documented in release notes
- [ ] module tests succeed on ARCHITECTURE
- [ ] options types are appropriate
- [ ] options description is set
- [ ] options example is provided
- [ ] documentation affected by the changes is updated

New modules
New modules submissions introduce a new module to NixOS.
Reviewing process:
- Ensure that the module tests, if any, are succeeding.
- Ensure that the introduced options are correct.
- Type should be appropriate (string related types differs in their merging capabilities,
loaOfandstringtypes are deprecated). - Description, default and example should be provided.
- Type should be appropriate (string related types differs in their merging capabilities,
- Ensure that module
metafield is present- Maintainers should be declared in
meta.maintainers. - Module documentation should be declared with
meta.doc.
- Maintainers should be declared in
- Ensure that the module respect other modules functionality.
- For example, enabling a module should not open firewall ports by default.
