When a NixOS system uses flakes, i.e., /etc/nixos/flake.nix exists, it
is impossible to use nixos-rebuild to build a pre-flake
configuration.nix. Of course, one can directly use nix command to
build the configuration, but not everybody remembers the correct nix
options to do that.
With the new option, it is possible to build a pre-flake configuration
with command like this:
nixos-rebuild build-vm -I nixos-config=./vm.nix --no-flake
The option might be useful for people following older pre-flake
tutorials on a flake-based system.
In https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/142747, the implementation
behind Machine.execute() has been changed to pipe all the command's
output into base64 on the guest machine.
Unfortunately this means that base64 is blocking until stdout is closed,
which in turn means that we now need to make sure that whenever we run a
program in background via "&" we also need to make sure to close stdout,
which we do by redirecting stdout to stderr.

This adds the option `networking.wg-quick.interfaces.<name>.autostart`, which defaults to `true`, which is the previous behavior. With this option set to `false`, the systemd-unit will no longer be set to `wantedBy = [ "multi-user.target" ]` and therefore the tunnel has to be enabled/disabled via `systemctl start/stop wg-quick-<name>`.

Naively deduplicate VLANs in the python driver for NixOS tests. The
current implementation accidentally works, since the VLan class mutates
the environment. On construction it sets QEMU_VDE_SOCKET_${id} and this
environment variable gets overwritten once a second VLAN with the same
id is constructed. Because the NIC flags passed to qemu just use the
QEMU_VDE_SOCKET_${id} environment variable, this implicitly chooses a
single vde_switch process for each VLAN.
However, this leads to unusable vde_switch processes being spawned in
each test run and as a side effect makes it impossible to access the
correct VLan objects in the interactive test driver. It also makes it
remarkably hard to understand why the current implementation ever
worked.
some change in the last 24 hours altered the behaviour of st such that
it now dies with a non-zero exit code when the shell exits, so kill is
now necessary
For now at least. I expect someone will find a working type later.
It's incorrect and was causing bad issues. Example test case:
nix-instantiate nixos/release.nix -A tests.xfce.x86_64-linux --dry-run
This is a partial revert of commit b2d803c from PR #162271.
* _7zz: correct license and remove p7zip dependency
The code under Compress/Rar* is licensed under a specific unRAR license
Also Compress/LzfseDecoder.cpp is covered by BSD3
The unRAR code is removed from the `.tar.xz` since the license posits you
agree or remove the code from your hard drive
This adds some complexity to updating 7zz so there is also an update
script
Meta has been updated and tweaked
Source is now downloaded from sourceforge in the `.tar.xz` version to
avoid depending on p7zip
* _7zz: add notice of the license updates and optional unRAR licenced code
Currently it is only possible to add upstream _system_ units. The option
systemd.additionalUpstreamSystemUnits can be used for this.
However, this was not yet possible for systemd.user. In a similar
fashion this was added to systemd-user.nix.
This is intended to have other modules add upstream units.
Add an exception to the `paperless-ng-server` service's
`SystemCallFilter` as the `mbind` syscall is needed when consuming a
document while having a classification model present.
Since b9cfbcafdf0ca9573de1cdc06137c020e70e44a8, the lack of hexdump in
the closure lead to the generation of empty cookie files. This empty
cookie file is making pleroma to crash at startup now we correctly
read it.
We introduce a migration forcing these empty cookies to be
re-generated to something not empty.
It was originally impossible to login in toot without having an
interactive shell. I opened https://github.com/ihabunek/toot/pull/180
upstream to fix that and fetch this patch for this test.
The author decided to fix the issue using a slightly different
approach at a3eb5dca24
Because of this upstream fix, our custom patch does not apply anymore.
Using that stdin-based login upstream feature.
We inject the release cookie path to the pleroma derivation in order
to wrap pleroma_ctl with it. Doing this allows us to remove the
systemd-injected RELEASE_COOKIE path, which was sadly
buggy (RELEASE_COOKIE should point to the *content* of the cookie, not
the file containing it).
We take advantage of this to factor out the cookie path.
Fixes race conditions like this:
> systemd[1]: Started prometheus-kea-exporter.service.
> kea-exporter[927]: Listening on http://0.0.0.0:9547
> kea-exporter[927]: Socket at /run/kea/dhcp4.sock does not exist. Is Kea running?
> systemd[1]: prometheus-kea-exporter.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
It doesn't make sense to have a default value for this that's
incompatible with the default locate implementation. It means that
just doing services.locate.enable = true; generates a warning, even if
you don't care about pruning anything. So only use the default prune
list if the locate implementation supports it (i.e., isn't findutils).
If `services.tor.client.enable` is set to false (the default), the `SOCKSPort` option is not added to the torrc file but since Tor defaults to listening on port 9050 when the option is not specified, the tor client is not actually disabled. To fix this, simply set `SOCKSPort` to 0, which disables the client.
Use `mkForce` to prevent potentially two different `SOCKSPort` options in the torrc file, with one of them being 0 as this would cause Tor to fail to start. When `services.tor.client.enable` is set to false, this should always be disabled.
When `services.resolved.enable` is set to true, the file /etc/resolv.conf becomes a symlink to /etc/static/resolv.conf, which is a symlink to /run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf. Without this commit, tor does not have access to this file thanks to systemd confinement. This results in the following warning when tor starts:
```
[warn] Unable to stat resolver configuration in '/etc/resolv.conf': No such file or directory
[warn] Could not read your DNS config from '/etc/resolv.conf' - please investigate your DNS configuration. This is possibly a problem. Meanwhile, falling back to local DNS at 127.0.0.1.
```
To fix this, simply allow read-only access to the file when resolved is in use.
According to https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/161818#discussion_r824820462, the symlink may also point to /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf, so allow that as well.
Use a quoted heredoc to inject installBootLoader safely into the script,
and restore the previous invocation of `system` with a single argument so
that shell commands keep working.
Without this fix, evaluating a NixOS configuration with Tomcat enabled and the
default settings results in the following evaluation error:
Failed assertions:
- users.users.tomcat.group is unset. This used to default to
nogroup, but this is unsafe. For example you can create a group
for this user with:
users.users.tomcat.group = "tomcat";
users.groups.tomcat = {};
As a novice to using this module, I found the existing description to be
quite misleading. It does not at all disable pulling from the registry,
it just loads some image archive that may or may not be related to the
container you're specifying. I had thought there was extra magic behind
this option, but it's just a `docker load`. You need foreknowledge of
the contents of the archive so that whatever it contained is actually
used to run the container.
I've reworded the description to hopefully make this behavior clearer.
it's really easy to accidentally write the wrong systemd Exec* directive, ones
that works most of the time but fails when users include systemd metacharacters
in arguments that are interpolated into an Exec* directive. add a few functions
analogous to escapeShellArg{,s} and some documentation on how and when to use them.
This bug is so obscure and unlikely that I was honestly not able to
properly write a test for it. What happens is that we are calling
handleModifiedUnit() with $unitsToStart=\%unitsToRestart. We do this to
make sure that the unit is stopped before it's started again which is
not possible by regular means because the stop phase is already done
when calling the activation script.
recordUnit() still gets $startListFile, however which is the wrong file.
The bug would be triggered if an activation script requests a service
restart for a service that has `stopIfChanged = true` and
switch-to-configuration is killed before the restart phase was run. If
the script is run again, but the activation script is not requesting
more restarts, the unit would be started instead of restarted.
The current logic assumes that everything that isn't a derivation is a
store path, but it can also be something that's *coercible* to a store
path, like a flake input.
Unnecessary uses of `lib.toDerivation` result in errors in pure evaluation
mode when `builtins.storePath` is disabled.
Also document what a `package` is.
We spent a whole afternoon debugging this, because upstream has very
bad software quality and the error messages were incredibly
misleading.
So let’s document it for the sanity of other people.
Btw, I think the implementation of our module is pretty brittle,
especially the part about diffing tokens to check whether they
changed. We should rather just request a new builder registration
every time, it’s not that much overhead, and always set `replace` so
it is idempotent.
