readme: move example to flake template

Replace inline flake.nix example with a proper flake template that users
can instantiate with `nix flake init`. This makes it easier to get
started and we can easier test the example.

**Create a custom VM:**
Create a `flake.nix` in a new directory using this flake as an input providing the necessary NixOS module:
Use the template to bootstrap a new munix project:
```nix
{
inputs = {
nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
munix.url = "git+https://git.clan.lol/clan/munix?shallow=1&ref=main";
munix.inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
};
outputs = { self, nixpkgs, munix, ... }: {
# First, define system configuration in a module:
nixosModules.musictest = { pkgs, ... }: {
system.stateVersion = "26.05";
programs.dconf.enable = true;
fonts.packages = with pkgs; [ adwaita-fonts ];
environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [ euphonica ];
# Local background service as a demo that doesn't require network creds :)
services.mpd = {
enable = true;
startWhenNeeded = true;
musicDirectory = "/etc/demo-music";
user = "appvm";
group = "appvm";
extraConfig = ''
audio_output {
type "pipewire"
name "Pipewire Output"
}
'';
};
environment.etc."demo-music/0101GhostsI.ogg".source = pkgs.fetchurl {
# just a CC-BY-SA licensed example
url = "https://archive.org/download/NineInchNailsGhostsI-Iv24bit48khz/0101GhostsI.ogg";
sha256 = "0iijm1c191aqkxybl4a4gvlpnf72hk4896lwvp0xixkhds88qzxi";
};
};
# And then define system closures per arch using the module above:
nixosConfigurations.musictest-aarch64 = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
system = "aarch64-linux";
modules = [
munix.nixosModules.default
self.nixosModules.musictest
];
};
nixosConfigurations.musictest-x86_64 = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
system = "x86_64-linux";
modules = [
munix.nixosModules.default
self.nixosModules.musictest
];
};
apps.aarch64-linux.default = {
type = "app";
program = "${nixpkgs.legacyPackages.aarch64-linux.symlinkJoin {
name = "munix";
paths = [ munix.packages.aarch64-linux.munix ];
buildInputs = [ nixpkgs.legacyPackages.aarch64-linux.makeWrapper ];
postBuild = ''
wrapProgram $out/bin/munix --add-flags ${self.nixosConfigurations.musictest-aarch64.config.system.build.toplevel} --set MICROVM_DEFAULT_COMMAND euphonica
'';
}}/bin/munix";
meta.description = "Run Music Demo App";
};
apps.x86_64-linux.default = {
type = "app";
program = "${nixpkgs.legacyPackages.x86_64-linux.symlinkJoin {
name = "munix";
paths = [ munix.packages.x86_64-linux.munix ];
buildInputs = [ nixpkgs.legacyPackages.x86_64-linux.makeWrapper ];
postBuild = ''
wrapProgram $out/bin/munix --add-flags ${self.nixosConfigurations.musictest-x86_64.config.system.build.toplevel} --set MICROVM_DEFAULT_COMMAND euphonica
'';
}}/bin/munix";
meta.description = "Run Music Demo App";
};
};
}
```bash
mkdir my-vm && cd my-vm
nix flake init -t 'git+https://git.clan.lol/clan/munix#musictest'
git init && git add flake.nix
nix run
```
And `nix run`!
(TODO: helpers will be provided to reduce the necessary boilerplate)
This creates a `flake.nix` with a music player demo (MPD + Euphonica). Edit the module to customize your VM.
