Setting up qemu VM using nix flakes

Did you know that it is rather easy to setup a VM to test your NixOs configuration?

Create simple flake:

# flake.nix
{
  inputs.nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixpkgs-unstable";

About

• I faced bandwidth issues between a WG Peer and a WG server. Download bandwidth when downloading from WG Server to WG peer was reduced significantly and upload bandwidth was practically non existent.
• I found a few reddit posts that said that we need to choose the right MTU. So I wrote a script to find an optimal MTU.
• Ideally I would have liked to have run all possible MTU configurations for both WG Server and WG Peer but for simplicity I choose to fix the WG Server to the original 1420 MTU and tried all MTUs from 1280 to 1500 for the WG Peer.

Testing

• On WG server, I started an iperf3 server
• On WG peer, I wrote a script that does the following:
  • wg-quick down wg0
• Edit MTU in the /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf file

# ...
# Then rebuild system. Attach iPhone via cable, open terminal and run command `iphone`
# It will fail, but there will occure a dialog on your iPhone to "trust this computer"
# Press OK there and run `iphone` again. If it succeeds it will open a freshly mounted folder
