The default just recently changed in 23.11. Users that had
swraid enabled implicitly by NixOS in previous releases got surprised
by warnings even though they do not actually use software RAID.
Fixes#254807
Allow setting the owner, group and mode of the `/dev/sev-guest` device,
similar to what is already possible for `/dev/sev` through the
`hardware.cpu.amd.sev` options.
The `/dev/sev` device is available to AMD SEV hosts, e.g., to start an
AMD SEV-SNP guest. In contrast, the `/dev/sev-guest` device is only
available within SEV-SNP guests. The guest uses the device, for example,
to request an attestation report. Linux has in-tree support for SEV-SNP
guests since 5.19.
The problem we had back then was that `mkRenamedOptionModule` doesn't
work if an option will be moved a level depper, i.e.
services.grafana.provision.dashboards
became
services.grafana.provision.dashboards.settings.provider
I actually planned to remove this before 23.05 (since the change was
already released in 22.11), but as you can see that didn't happen ;-)
I think the grace-period was quite long already. And if someone is
migrating from <22.11 to a current NixOS now, there are very precise
instructions on how to upgrade in the 22.11 release notes.
To those who use Jellyfin's DLNA server, it can happen that the DLNA server starts before we are connected to the LAN.
When this happens, Jellyfin only publishes the DLNA server on the local ports and is not discoverable by devices in the LAN.
In order to fix this, I'm ensuring that Jellyfin starts after we are connected to the network, making it properly discoverable by DLNA clients.
After making this change, Jellyfin's DLNA server is now working as expected on my machine. It used to be consistently undiscoverable.
I verified that this doesn't break anything in situations where the LAN is not available: I disconnected my laptop from the network and rebooted it and Jellyfin started as expected.
This change was informed by reading the suggestion in this article: https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/NetworkTarget/
Actually, it's supposed to be `listOf (attrsOf str)` because each
list-item can match against multiple properties from `urlsplit`[1]. In
fact, `listOf str` breaks URL previews at runtime:

To make sure that people aren't confused when upgrading their configs, I
decided to work with `types.coercedTo` to "pretend" accepting the old
type signature, but then throwing an error explaining what to do (and
rejecting the broken configuration).

Historically, we allowed downgrade of DNSSEC, but some folks argue
this may decrease actually the security posture to do opportunistic DNSSEC.
In addition, the current implementation of (opportunistic) DNSSEC validation
is broken against "in the wild" servers which are usually slightly non-compliant.
systemd upstream recommended to me (in personal communication surrounding
the All Systems Go 2023 conference) to disable DNSSEC validation until
they work on it in a significant capacity, ideally, by next year.
This commit introduces a `networking.networkmanager.fccUnlockScripts`
option, which allows specifying additional, usually vendor-provided
unlock scripts.
networking.networkmanager.enableBundledFccUnlockScripts is refactored to
make use of the same mechanism internally.
PR #155414 introduced an option to support enabling the FCC unlock
scripts that ModemManager provides, but since 1.18.4 doesn't execute
anymore.
However, this option is specifically only about the unlock scripts
provided with ModemManager so far. Rename the option to make this more
obvious.
Clarify that the monochrome font is not included, per #221181.
The new name is also coherent with the name of the font,
according to `fontconfig`: Noto Color Emoji.
For NVLink topology systems we need fabricmanager. Fabricmanager itself is
dependent on the datacenter driver set and not the regular x11 ones, it is also
tightly tied to the driver version. Furhtermore the current cudaPackages
defaults to version 11.8, which corresponds to the 520 datacenter drivers.
Future improvement should be to switch the main nvidia datacenter driver version
on the `config.cudaVersion` since these are well known from:
> https://docs.nvidia.com/deploy/cuda-compatibility/index.html#use-the-right-compat-package
This adds nixos configuration options `hardware.nvidia.datacenter.enable` and
`hardware.nvidia.datacenter.settings` (the settings configure fabricmanager)
Other interesting external links related to this commit are:
* Fabricmanager download site:
- https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/redist/fabricmanager/linux-x86_64/
* Data Center drivers:
- https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/193711/en-us/
Implementation specific details:
* Fabricmanager is added as a passthru package, similar to settings and
presistenced.
* Adds `use{Settings,Persistenced,Fabricmanager}` with defaults to preserve x11
expressions.
* Utilizes mkMerge to split the `hardware.nvidia` module into three comment
delimited sections:
1. Common
2. X11/xorg
3. Data Center
* Uses asserts to make the configurations mutualy exclusive.
Notes:
* Data Center Drivers are `x86_64` only.
* Reuses the `nvidia_x11` attribute in nixpkgs on enable, e.g. doesn't change it
to `nvidia_driver` and sets that to either `nvidia_x11` or `nvidia_dc`.
* Should have a helper function which is switched on `config.cudaVersion` like
`selectHighestVersion` but rather `selectCudaCompatibleVersion`.
My system does not use `bcache` and I sould prever my `systemPackages`
not to have bcache tools.
The change does not change the default but proviced usual `enable` knob.
fixes#232505
Implements the new option `security.acme.maxConcurrentRenewals` to limit
the number of certificate generation (or renewal) jobs that can run in
parallel. This avoids overloading the system resources with many
certificates or running into acme registry rate limits and network
timeouts.
Architecture considerations:
- simplicity, lightweight: Concerns have been voiced about making this
already rather complex module even more convoluted. Additionally,
locking solutions shall not significantly increase performance and
footprint of individual job runs.
To accomodate these concerns, this solution is implemented purely in
Nix, bash, and using the light-weight `flock` util. To reduce
complexity, jobs are already assigned their lockfile slot at system
build time instead of dynamic locking and retrying. This comes at the
cost of not always maxing out the permitted concurrency at runtime.
- no stale locks: Limiting concurrency via locking mechanism is usually
approached with semaphores. Unfortunately, both SysV as well as
POSIX-Semaphores are *not* released when the process currently locking
them is SIGKILLed. This poses the danger of stale locks staying around
and certificate renewal being blocked from running altogether.
`flock` locks though are released when the process holding the file
descriptor of the lock file is KILLed or terminated.
- lockfile generation: Lock files could either be created at build time
in the Nix store or at script runtime in a idempotent manner.
While the latter would be simpler to achieve, we might exceed the number
of permitted concurrent runs during a system switch: Already running
jobs are still locked on the existing lock files, while jobs started
after the system switch will acquire locks on freshly created files,
not being blocked by the still running services.
For this reason, locks are generated and managed at runtime in the
shared state directory `/var/lib/locks/`.

also, move over permission and directory management to systemd-tmpfiles

the schema files referenced in the current preStart are empty.
other ones exist, but don't apply cleanly either.
calling update.php with --update-schema works for initial setup and
updates. if the database schema is already up to date, it's idempotent.
- Avoid false-positives on package sets that contain a `terminfo` derivation,
like `haskellPackages` and `sbclPackages`.
- Directly provide a list of names that can be used to update the NixOS module,
rather than a list of derivations which is hard to read in the REPL.
When not setting `settings` and setting `openFirewall = true`
evaluation would fail because it tries to access `settings.bind_port`
while `settings == null`
it should be checking that it is not a broken symlink but bash
conditionals are difficult
-d was causing the directory to not be created if it does not exist

This avoids the possible confusion with `passwordFile` being the file
version of `password`, while it should contain the password hash.
Fixes issue #165858.
The module for Plasma 5 contained two pointless setuid wrappers:
* kscreenlocker_greet was introduced when the kscreenlocker package
dropped kcheckpass. However, this was actually replaced by making
proper use of PAM (which finally calls its unix_chkpwd setuid binary).
kscreenlocker_greet itself was never intended to be setuid.
Fortunately, this is not exploitable, because QCoreApplication
immediately aborts if it detects setuid. The wrapper is still
incorrect and pointless, so remove it.
* start_kdeinit can optionally use setuid root or setcap
CAP_SYS_RESOURCE to reduce its OOM killer score. However, with systemd
startup, start_kdeinit does not get used at all. So in this case, the
setuid wrapper is pointless, and so is removed as well. Ideally, the
case where systemd startup is not enabled would use a capability
wrapper instead, but since systemd startup is the default in NixOS and
kinit is deprecated upstream for KF6, I don't bother any more.
Relying on the built-in UEFI console here was already necessary, so we
are losing nothing by removing the needless `serial` call, which hung
some systems.
This also makes the implementation much easier to understand.
Also, no ugly-font menu anymore!
This helps keep logic simpler, as what we do is forcing text mode, which
means the non-default case is `truthy`, making things easier to digest
in the config file.
Also renaming this option is considered "internal", since it lives only
within the `iso-image` namespace, and also not a breaking change since
it was not part of a stable release.
Which ***anyway*** was not disabled correctly. Following changes will
actually disable it.
What this did was disable the "themed" menu driver, but still continued
relying on the gfxterm infra, which in itself is why things were ugly
and weird.
The `serial` console hangs on some systems. Unknown why.
Anyway, the way this worked right now relied on it telling the user on
the UEFI console how to enable it. So if I understand it correctly, it
will not cause any regression there.
With this commit, the validation of `sshd_config`
is performed with `sshd -G` instead of `sshd -t`.
The former does not require a valid host key.
Checking the host key was never useful for us:
We just generated a dummy host key to
make the validation mechanism happy.
With this change the dummy key is no longer needed.
This change not only saves some CPU cycles
(avoid the generation of an RSA key),
but it also permits to set `RequiredRSASize` to a value
larger than the current rsa key default size (3072).
This is not unlikely to happen, given the enthusiasm shown by some users,
but we are not there yet, and this will save them from breaking their system.
