nixos: Add 'chroot' options to systemd.services Currently, if you want to properly chroot a systemd service, you could do it using BindReadOnlyPaths=/nix/store (which is not what I'd call "properly", because the whole store is still accessible) or use a separate derivation that gathers the runtime closure of the service you want to chroot. The former is the easier method and there is also a method directly offered by systemd, called ProtectSystem, which still leaves the whole store accessible. The latter however is a bit more involved, because you need to bind-mount each store path of the runtime closure of the service you want to chroot. This can be achieved using pkgs.closureInfo and a small derivation that packs everything into a systemd unit, which later can be added to systemd.packages. That's also what I did several times[1][2] in the past. However, this process got a bit tedious, so I decided that it would be generally useful for NixOS, so this very implementation was born. Now if you want to chroot a systemd service, all you need to do is: { systemd.services.yourservice = { description = "My Shiny Service"; wantedBy = [ "multi-user.target" ]; chroot.enable = true; serviceConfig.ExecStart = "${pkgs.myservice}/bin/myservice"; }; } If more than the dependencies for the ExecStart* and ExecStop* (which btw. also includes "script" and {pre,post}Start) need to be in the chroot, it can be specified using the chroot.packages option. By default (which uses the "full-apivfs"[3] confinement mode), a user namespace is set up as well and /proc, /sys and /dev are mounted appropriately. In addition - and by default - a /bin/sh executable is provided as well, which is useful for most programs that use the system() C library call to execute commands via shell. The shell providing /bin/sh is dash instead of the default in NixOS (which is bash), because it's way more lightweight and after all we're chrooting because we want to lower the attack surface and it should be only used for "/bin/sh -c something". Prior to submitting this here, I did a first implementation of this outside[4] of nixpkgs, which duplicated the "pathSafeName" functionality from systemd-lib.nix, just because it's only a single line. However, I decided to just re-use the one from systemd here and subsequently made it available when importing systemd-lib.nix, so that the systemd-chroot implementation also benefits from fixes to that functionality (which is now a proper function). Unfortunately, we do have a few limitations as well. The first being that DynamicUser doesn't work in conjunction with tmpfs, because it already sets up a tmpfs in a different path and simply ignores the one we define. We could probably solve this by detecting it and try to bind-mount our paths to that different path whenever DynamicUser is enabled. The second limitation/issue is that RootDirectoryStartOnly doesn't work right now, because it only affects the RootDirectory option and not the individual bind mounts or our tmpfs. It would be helpful if systemd would have a way to disable specific bind mounts as well or at least have some way to ignore failures for the bind mounts/tmpfs setup. Another quirk we do have right now is that systemd tries to create a /usr directory within the chroot, which subsequently fails. Fortunately, this is just an ugly error and not a hard failure.
