## FAQ
### Is it possible to run NixOS tests / Qemu+KVM with GitHub Actions?
[Currently GitHub Actions are not running on Azure instance types that support nested virtualization](https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments/issues/183#issuecomment-610723516).
### How do I print nixpkgs version with the channel I have configured?
```nix-instantiate --eval -E '(import <nixpkgs> {}).lib.version'```
