This allows to easily override the used PHP package, especially for
example if you want to use PHP 5.5 or if you want to override the

The postgresql module has a postStart section that waits for a database
to accept connections before continuing. However, this assumes various
properties about the database - specifically the database user
and (implicitly) the database name. This means that for old
installations, this command fails because there is no 'postgres' user,
and the service never starts.
While 7deff39 does create the 'postgres' user, a better solution is to
use `pg_isready`, who's sole purpose is to check if the database is
accepting connections. This has no dependency on users, so should be
more robust.
Old PostgreSQL installations were created using the 'root' database
user. In this case, we need to create a new 'postgres' account, as we
now assume that this is the superuser account.
Unfortunately, these machines will be left with a 'root' user as
well (which will have ownership of some databases). While PostgreSQL
does let you rename superuser accounts, you can only do that when you
are connected as a *different* database user. Thus we'd have to create a
special superuser account to do the renaming. As we default to using
ident authentication, we would have to create a system level user to do
this. This all feels rather complex, so I'm currently opting to keep the
'root' user on these old machines.
This allows to define systemd.path(5) units, for example like this:
{
systemd = let
description = "Set Key Permissions for xyz.key";
in {
paths.set-key-perms = {
inherit description;
before = [ "network.target" ];
wantedBy = [ "multi-user.target" ];
pathConfig.PathChanged = "/run/keys/xyz.key";
};
services.set-key-perms = {
inherit description;
serviceConfig.Type = "oneshot";
script = "chown myspecialkeyuser /run/keys/xyz.key";
};
};
}
The example here is actually useful in order to set permissions for the
NixOps keys target to ensure those permisisons aren't reset whenever the
key file is reuploaded.

Latest update to udisks in 344f2e65 broke it for me. Fix it by doing the
following:
- Add udisks.service to /etc/systemd/system (via systemd.packages)
- Fix path to udisks-daemon in udisks.service (libexec/ instead of lib/)
- Make dhcp work, use dhcpcd without udev in container
- Make login shell work, patch getty to not wait for /dev/tty0
- Make ssh work, sshd/pam do not start session
The command nixos-container can now create containers. For instance,
the following creates and starts a container named ‘database’:
$ nixos-container create database
The configuration of the container is stored in
/var/lib/containers/<name>/etc/nixos/configuration.nix. After editing
the configuration, you can make the changes take effect by doing
$ nixos-container update database
The container can also be destroyed:
$ nixos-container destroy database
Containers are now executed using a template unit,
‘container@.service’, so the unit in this example would be
‘container@database.service’.
According to the MySQL manual, this is a perfectly legal way of
shutting down the server. The shutdown logs also looks fine:
systemd[1]: Stopping MySQL Server...

systemd[1]: Stopped MySQL Server.
For example, the following sets up a container named ‘foo’. The
container will have a single network interface eth0, with IP address
10.231.136.2. The host will have an interface c-foo with IP address
10.231.136.1.
systemd.containers.foo =
{ privateNetwork = true;
hostAddress = "10.231.136.1";
localAddress = "10.231.136.2";
config =
{ services.openssh.enable = true; };
};
With ‘privateNetwork = true’, the container has the CAP_NET_ADMIN
capability, allowing it to do arbitrary network configuration, such as
setting up firewall rules. This is secure because it cannot touch the
interfaces of the host.
The helper program ‘run-in-netns’ is needed at the moment because ‘ip
netns exec’ doesn't quite do the right thing (it remounts /sys without
bind-mounting the original /sys/fs/cgroups).
These are stored on the host in
/nix/var/nix/{profiles,gcroots}/per-container/<container-name> to
ensure that container profiles/roots are not garbage-collected.
This has the unintended side-effect of restarting httpd every time we
run switch-to-configuration, even if httpd hasn't changed (because
we're doing a "stop keys.target" now). So use a "Wants" dependency
instead.
On the host, you can run
$ socat unix:<path-to-container>/var/lib/login.socket -,echo=0,raw
to get a login prompt. So this allows logging in even if the
container has no SSH access enabled.
You can also do
$ socat unix:<path-to-container>/var/lib/root-shell.socket -
to get a plain root shell. (This socket is only accessible by root,
obviously.) This makes it easy to execute commands in the container,
e.g.
$ echo reboot | socat unix:<path-to-container>/var/lib/root-shell.socket -
This reverts commit b792394119.
Starting the manual on tty8 was intended as a convenience during
installation, not as a general purpose thing. In fact, given that w3m
runs as root, this is highly insecure!
This module adds the security.duosec attributes, which you can use to
enable simple two-factor authentication for NixOS logins.
The module currently provides PAM and SSH support, although the PAM unix
system configuration isn't automatically dealt with (although the
configuration is automatically built).
Enabling it is as easy as saying:
security.duosec.ssh.enable = true;
security.duosec.ikey = "XXXXXXXX...";
security.duosec.skey = "XXXXXXXX...";
security.duosec.host = "api-XXXXXXX.duosecurity.com";
security.duosec.group = "duosec";
which will enforce two-factor authentication for SSH logins for users in
the 'duosec' group.
This requires uid/gid support in the environment.etc module.

Uses standard NixOS user config merging.
Work in progress: The slave config does not actually start the slave agent. This just configures a
jenkins user if required. Bare minimum to enable a nice jenkins SSH slave.
By default the jenkins server is executed under the user "jenkins". Which can be configured using
users.jenkins.* options. If a different user is requested by changing services.jenkins.user then
none of the users.jenkins options apply.
This patch does not include jenkins slave configuration. Some config options will probably change
when this is implemented.
Aspects like the user and environment are typically identical between slave and master. The service
configs are different. The design is for users.jenkins to cover the shared aspects while
services.jenkins and services.jenkins-slave cover the master and slave specific aspects,
respectively.
Another option would be to place everything under services.jenkins and have a config that selects
master vs slave.
You can now say:
systemd.services.foo.baseUnit = "${pkgs.foo}/.../foo.service";
This will cause NixOS' generated foo.service file to include
foo.service from the foo package. You can then apply local
customization in the usual way:
systemd.services.foo.serviceConfig.MemoryLimit = "512M";
Note however that overriding options in the original unit may not
work. For instance, you cannot override ExecStart.
It's also possible to customize instances of template units:
systemd.services."getty@tty4" =
{ baseUnit = "/etc/systemd/system/getty@.service";
serviceConfig.MemoryLimit = "512M";
};
This replaces the unit options linkTarget (which didn't allow
customisation) and extraConfig (which did allow customisation, but in
a non-standard way).
We used to have the configuration of the kernel available in a
somewhat convenient place (/run/booted-system/kernel-modules/config)
but that has disappeared. So instead just make /proc/configs.gz
available. It only eats a few kilobytes.
This is useful for packages like mosh, which use a wide UDP port range
by default for incoming connections.

We don't want to hardcode configuration options that the current kernel chose
for us when mounting the filesystem, since the defaults can change in the
future.
i18n.consoleKeyMap maps to KEYMAP=... in vconsole.conf and `loadkeymap'
in stage1. Both of these accept paths to a keymap file in addition to
a string containing the name of the keymap.
With this commit, it's possible to use your own keymap via:
i18n.consoleKeyMap = ./path/to/something.kmap
PostgreSQL defaults to having 'postgres' as the superuser. NixOS should
use this default name to provide a less surprising result to people who
enable services.postgres.
There are two fixes in this commit.
Firstly, I am creating proper symlinks for the Alias= definitions in the
.service files. This achieves the same result as `systemctl enable`, and
I think is preferred over `mv`.
Secondly, `networkmanager-init` now wants `NetworkManager.service`,
along with `ModemManager.service`. ModemManager does not depend on
NetworkManager (according to `systemctl list-dependencies ModemManager`),
thus NetworkManager never got started on boot.
It is parameterized by a function that takes a name and evaluates to the
option type for the attribute of that name. Together with
submoduleWithExtraArgs, this subsumes nixosSubmodule.
The mutableUsers feature uses `chpasswd` to set users passwords.
Passwords and their hashes were being piped into the program using
double quotes ("") to escape. This causes any `$` characters to be
expanded as shell variables. This is a serious problem because all the
password hash methods besides DES use multiple `$` in the hashes. Single
quotes ('') should be used instead to prevent shell variable expansion.
* Bump bumblebee to 3.2.1
* Remove config.patch - options it added can be passed to ./configure now
* Remove the provided xorg.conf
Provided xorg.conf was causing problems for some users,
and Bumblebee provides its own default configuration anyway.
* Make secondary X11 log to /var/log/X.bumblebee.log
* Add a module for bumblebee
Without this the HTML manual and manpage is quite unreadable (newlines
