Hi @Barre, not sure if there's appetite to have Nix support but I'd like to use ZeroFS in my NixOS fleet. I packaged zerofs in Nix, added NixOS modules which provides the systemd services for NixOS and I've also added integration tests using NixOS's qemu VM test harness that you can run locally and even breakpoint inside with
machine.shell_interact().Perhaps it's an improvement over the integration tests you're maintaining in github actions atm. See how they're used here in nix-snapshotter: https://github.com/pdtpartners/nix-snapshotter/blob/ce7698e34990e1e59b9693e5c8ec08f4d9bf2fb6/.github/workflows/ci.yml#L40 and https://github.com/pdtpartners/nix-snapshotter/tree/main/modules/nixos/tests.
If you have nix installed, you can run the tests with:
nix run .#test-nfs,nix run .#test-nbd-zfs, etc. You could also get caching via cachix, etc.
