I am trying to use a nixos container to contain the unifi controller. I was
able to create the container imperatively via:
nixos-container create unifi --config "
nixpkgs.config.allowUnfree = true;
services.unifi = {
enable = true;
};
"
But the networking is private. Ports have to be made available so the Unifi
AP can talk to the controller. I used NAT as outlined in section 28.3 of
the NixOS manual and it works for this case. But this isn't completely
satisfactory as I may wish to have multiple containers that listen on the
same port (:80 for instance). So what I would rather have is the containers
use a bridge for networking so they have their own IP addresses and hence
can listen on the same port.
How would I do that?
Note: I saw several PRs related to the issue (#5857 and #14018 for
instance) but I can't see how to bridging work.
