-This a test README just to appease the eval warnings if we don't have one
+!!! Danger "Experimental"
+    This service is for demonstration purpose only and may change in the future.
+
+The Hello-World Clan Service is a minimal example showing how to build and register your own service.
+
+It serves as a reference implementation and is used in clan-core CI tests to ensure compatibility.
+
+## What it demonstrates
+
+- How to define a basic Clan-compatible service.
+- How to structure your service for discovery and configuration.
+- How Clan services interact with nixos.
+
+## Testing
+
+This service demonstrates two levels of testing to ensure quality and stability across releases:
+
+1. **Unit & Integration Testing** — via [`nix-unit`](https://github.com/nix-community/nix-unit)
+2. **End-to-End Testing** — via **NixOS VM tests**, which we extended to support **container virtualization** for better performance.
+
+We highly advocate following the [Practical Testing Pyramid](https://martinfowler.com/articles/practical-test-pyramid.html):
+
+* Write **unit tests** for core logic and invariants.
+* Add **one or two end-to-end (E2E)** tests to confirm your service starts and behaves correctly in a real NixOS environment.
+
+NixOS is **untyped** and frequently changes; tests are the safest way to ensure long-term stability of services.
+
+```
+               / \
+              /   \
+             / E2E \

+          /Integration\

+        /               \
+       /    Unit Tests   \
+       -------------------
+```
+
+### nix-unit
+
+We highly advocate the usage of
+
+[nix-unit](https://github.com/nix-community/nix-unit)
+
+Example in: tests/eval-tests.nix
+
+If you use flake-parts you can use the [native integration](https://flake.parts/options/nix-unit.html)
+
+If nix-unit succeeds you'r nixos evaluation should be mostly correct.
+
+!!! Tip
+    - Ensure most used 'settings' and variants are tested.
+    - Think about some important edge-cases your system should handle.
+
+### NixOS VM / Container Test
+
+!!! Warning "Early Vars & clanTest"
+    The testing system around vars is experimental
+
+    `clanTest` is still experimental and enables container virtualization by default.
+    This is still early and might have some limitations.
+
+Some minimal boilerplate is needed to use `clanTest`
+
+```nix
+nixosLib = import (inputs.nixpkgs + "/nixos/lib") { }
+nixosLib.runTest (
+    { ... }:
+    {
+        imports = [

+
+If you have other services in your inventory which export peers (e.g. the

+exports](https://docs.clan.lol/reference/options/clan_service/#exports), they

 As of now the container test driver is a downstream development in clan-core.
 Basically everything stated under the NixOS VM tests sections applies here, except some limitations.
 
-Limitations:
+### Using Container Tests vs VM Tests
 
-- Cannot run in interactive mode, however while the container test runs, it logs a nsenter command that can be used to log into each of the container.
-- setuid binaries don't work
+Container tests are **enabled by default** for all tests using the clan testing framework.
+They offer significant performance advantages over VM tests:
+
+- **Faster startup**
+- **Lower resource usage**: No full kernel boot or hardware emulation overhead
+
+To control whether a test uses containers or VMs, use the `clan.test.useContainers` option:
+
+```nix
+{
+  clan = {
+    directory = ./.;
+    test.useContainers = true;  # Use containers (default)
+    # test.useContainers = false;  # Use VMs instead
+  };
+}
+```
+
+**When to use VM tests instead of container tests:**
+
+- Testing kernel features, modules, or boot processes
+- Testing hardware-specific features
+- When you need full system isolation
+
+### System Requirements for Container Tests
+
+Container tests require the **`uid-range`** system feature** in the Nix sandbox.
+This feature allows Nix to allocate a range of UIDs for containers to use, enabling `systemd-nspawn` containers to run properly inside the Nix build sandbox.
+
+**Configuration:**
+
+The `uid-range` feature requires the `auto-allocate-uids` setting to be enabled in your Nix configuration.
+
+To verify or enable it, add to your `/etc/nix/nix.conf` or NixOS configuration:
+
+```nix
+settings.experimental-features = [
+    "auto-allocate-uids"
+];
+
+nix.settings.auto-allocate-uids = true;
+nix.settings.system-features = [ "uid-range" ];
+```
+
+**Technical details:**
+
+- Container tests set `requiredSystemFeatures = [ "uid-range" ];` in their derivation (see `lib/test/container-test-driver/driver-module.nix:98`)
+- Without this feature, containers cannot properly manage user namespaces and will fail to start
+
+### Limitations
+
+- Cannot run in interactive mode, however while the container test runs, it logs a nsenter command that can be used to log into each of the containers.
+- Early implementation and limited by features.

-# What this file does:
-#
-# - Resolves the [Module] to an actual module-path and imports it.
-# - Groups together all the same modules into a single import and creates all instances for it.
-# - Resolves the inventory tags into machines. Tags don't exist at the service level.
