nixos/virtualisation.incus: PATH for truenas_incus_ctl not defined #451914
Description
Nixpkgs version
- Unstable (25.11)
Describe the bug
Incus version > 6.16 introduced the TrueNAS storage driver.
For the driver to work, the truenas_incus_ctl cmdline program and the openiscsi package must be installed on the host system. Where "openiscsi" is directly available in nixpkgs, the truenas_incus_ctl program is not.
However, "truenas_incus_ctl" is a Go program and it is easy enough to install it on a NixOS system. For example with:
{ pkgs, ... } { nixpkgs.overlays = [ (final: prev: { truenas-incus-ctl = pkgs.buildGoModule rec { pname = "truenas_incus_ctl"; version = "0.7.4"; src = pkgs.fetchFromGitHub { owner = "truenas"; repo = "truenas_incus_ctl"; rev = "v${version}"; sha256 = "sha256-2AlLyU46I4gy7X4sdk/635Ru+8bcbELG1nvQKhDsQD8="; }; vendorHash = "sha256-4mm28T6nWTe3UvwGJ1S7s09ZSRZjm6TGcTD13vazUa4="; }; }) ]; }
The problem is that even when "truenas_incus_ctl" program is then made available on the system, the incus daemon will not recognize it (not in PATH).
Steps to reproduce
Already the partial command:
incus storage create testpool truenas
Results in the following error:
Error: Required tool 'truenas_incus_ctl' is missing
Expected behaviour
Incus should recognize the truenas_incus_ctl installation PATH
