Don't worry, it's is true by default. But I think this is important to
have because NixOS indeed shouldn't need Nix at run time when the
installation is not being modified, and now we can verify that.
NixOS images that cannot "self-modify" are a legitamate
use-case that this supports more minimally. One should be able to e.g. do a
sshfs mount and use `nixos-install` to modify them remotely, or just
discard them and build fresh ones if they are run VMs or something.
The next step would be to make generations optional, allowing just
baking `/etc` and friends rather than using activation scripts. But
that's more involved so I'm leaving it out.
The `$(</path/to/file)`-expansion appears verbatim in the cmdline of
`nextcloud-occ` which means that an unprivileged user could find
sensitive values (i.e. admin password & database password) by monitoring
`/proc/<pid>/cmdline`.
Now, these values don't appear in a command line anymore, but will be
passed as environment variables to `nextcloud-occ`.
* Linkify documentation about objectstore-feature rather than only
mentioning it.
* Use `<literal>` where it makes sense.
* Remove unnecessary `Whether to load` from `enableImagemagick` because
`mkEnableOption` already prepends `Whether to enable` to the given
description.
NixOS should be able to support the Nintendo Switch Pro controller for
steam and non-steam at the same time. Currently there are two mutually
exclusive ways to support the Pro Controller: Steam and `hid-nintendo`.
Unfortunately these don't work together, but there's a workaround in
newer versions of `joycond` (described [here](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Gamepad#Using_hid-nintendo_pro_controller_with_Steam_Games_(with_joycond))). To use this
workaround `hid-nintendo` and `joycond` need to be updated, and the
systemd and udev configuration needs to be made available in NixOS.
This is the first version of the mautrix-facebook module. Due to lack of secret support on NixOS as well as the requirement of a homeserver domain it requires some setup. For completeness here is my working config using NixOps secrets:
```nix
deployment.keys."mautrix-facebook-config.env" = {
text = ''
MAUTRIX_FACEBOOK_APPSERVICE_AS_TOKEN=${secrets.as_token}
MAUTRIX_FACEBOOK_APPSERVICE_HS_TOKEN=${secrets.hs_token}
'';
destDir = "/var/keys";
};
deployment.keys."mautrix-facebook-registration.yaml" = {
text = builtins.toJSON config.services.mautrix-facebook.registrationData;
destDir = "/var/keys";
user = "matrix-synapse";
};
users.users.matrix-synapse.extraGroups = ["keys"];
systemd.services.matrix-synapse.after = ["keys.service"];
systemd.services.matrix-synapse.wants = ["keys.service"];
services.mautrix-facebook = {
enable = true;
settings = {
homeserver.domain = "bots.kevincox.ca";
bridge = {
displayname_template = "{displayname}";
permissions = {
"@kevincox:matrix.org" = "admin";
};
};
};
environmentFile = "/var/keys/mautrix-facebook-config.env";
registrationData = {
as_token = secrets.as_token;
hs_token = secrets.hs_token;
};
};
systemd.services.mautrix-facebook = rec {
wants = ["keys.target"];
after = wants;
};
services.matrix-synapse.app_service_config_files = [
"/var/keys/mautrix-facebook-registration.yaml"
];
```
Previously, the `nix_read_pwd` function was only used for reading the
`dbpassFile`, however it has since been refactored to handle reading
other secret files too. This fixes the message of the exception that is
thrown in the case that the file is not present so that it no longer
refers specifically to the `dbpass` file.
Removes the submodule in favour of using an attrset.
Also:
- Makes better use of nix's laziness in config expansion.
- Makes use of `boolToString` where applicable.
We should discourage users from adding secrets in a way that allows for
them to end up in the globally readable `/nix/store`. Users should use
the `objectstore.s3.secretFile` option instead.
This allows to declaratively configure an S3 class object storage as the
primary storage for the nextcloud service. Previously, this could only
be achieved by manually editing the `config.php`.
I've started testing this today with my own digitalocean nextcloud
instance, which now points to my digitalocean S3-compatible "Space" and
all appears to be working smoothly.
My motivation for this change is my recent discovery of how much cheaper
some S3-compatible object storage options are compared to digitalocean's
"Volume" options.
Implementation follows the "Simple Storage Service" instructions here:
https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/configuration_files/primary_storage.html
I have neglected to implement a submodule for the OpenStack Swift
object storage as I don't personally have a use case for it or a method
to test it, however the new `nextcloud.objectstore.s3` submodule should
act as a useful guide for anyone who does wish to implement it.
The MariaDB version 10.6 doesn't seem supported with current Nextcloud
versions and the test fails with the following error[1]:
nextcloud # [ 14.950034] nextcloud-setup-start[1001]: Error while trying to initialise the database: An exception occurred while executing a query: SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 4047 InnoDB refuses to write tables with ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED or KEY_BLOCK_SIZE.
According to a support-thread in upstream's Discourse[2] this is because
of a missing support so far.
Considering that we haven't received any bugreports so far - even though
the issue already exists on master - and the workaround[3] appears to
work fine, an evaluation warning for administrators should be
sufficient.

Move to a forefront launch of the daemon. Doing so allowed us
to move the service from forking to simple to avoid the
missing pid error log.
Also:
- Make the dbus dependency explicit.
The MemoryDenyWriteExecute systemd option is widely known to be
incompatible with nodejs, and causes service crashes as reported in #119687.
Fixes#119687.
This is to address a regression introduced in #131118.
When syncing the first dataset, syncoid expects that the target
dataset doesn't exist to have a clean slate to work with. So during
runtime we'll check if the target dataset does exist and if it doesn't
- delegate the permissions to the parent dataset instead.
But then, on unallow, we do the unallow on both the target and the
parent since the target dataset should have been created at this
point, so the unallow can't know which dataset that got permissions
just by which datasets exists.
When restoring a backup, discourse decompresses the backup archive in
the /share/discourse/tmp dir. Before this change, it is linked to /run
which is typically backed by memory, so the backup will fail to
restore if you do not have enough memory on your system to contain the
backup. This has already happened to me on two small forums.
This moves tmp to the StateDirectory /var/lib/discourse/tmp which is
typically backed by disk.
Using builtins.readFile to load upstream defaults is a clever trick, but
it's not allowed in restricted evaluation mode: which means it fails on
Hydra, for example. Besides - in Nixpkgs - depending on derivation as
inputs is considered bad practice and should be avoided.

The `services.mastodon` module currently hardcodes sidekiq's concurrency
to 25, but doesn't set a DB pool size, which defaults to 5 or the number
of configured web threads.
(This behaviour is very strange, and arguably a mastodon bug.)
This also makes sidekiq's concurrency configurable, because 25 is a tad
high for the hardware I'm running it on.
After recent change `services.smokeping.enable = true;` system
started failing the build as:

```
`fping` does not provide `fping6` binary for a while. Let's just remove it.

Just setting the XKB_CONFIG_ROOT should be enough, so we don't need to
rebuild the xserver, xkbcomp and other packages anymore.
However, the variable has to be passed explicitely to scripts running at
build time: in particular to xkbvalidate and xkb-console-keymap.
Other services that depend on elasticsearch should be started after
it, but since the versions we're packaging have to run as
"Type=simple", they're started as soon as the elasticsearch binary has
been executed, likely winning the race against it.
This makes sure elasticsearch is up and running, responding to a
simple query, before dependents are started.
This updates systemd to version v249.4 from version v247.6.
Besides the many new features that can be found in the upstream
repository they also introduced a bunch of cleanup which ended up
requiring a few more patches on our side.
a) 0022-core-Handle-lookup-paths-being-symlinks.patch:
The way symlinked units were handled was changed in such that the last
name of a unit file within one of the unit directories
(/run/systemd/system, /etc/systemd/system, ...) is used as the name
for the unit. Unfortunately that code didn't take into account that
the unit directories themselves could already be symlinks and thus
caused all our units to be recognized slightly different.
There is an upstream PR for this new patch:
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/20479
b) The way the APIVFS is setup has been changed in such a way that we
now always have /run. This required a few changes to the
confinement tests which did assert that they didn't exist. Instead of
adding another patch we can just adopt the upstream behavior. An
empty /run doesn't seem harmful.
As part of this work I refactored the confinement test just a little
bit to allow better debugging of test failures. Previously it would
just fail at some point and it wasn't obvious which of the many
commands failed or what the unexpected string was. This should now be
more obvious.
c) Again related to the confinement tests the way a file was tested for
being accessible was optimized. Previously systemd would in some
situations open a file twice during that check. This was reduced to
one operation but required the procfs to be mounted in a units
namespace.
An upstream bug was filed and fixed. We are now carrying the
essential patch to fix that issue until it is backported to a new
release (likely only version 250). The good part about this story is
that upstream systemd now has a test case that looks very similar to
one of our confinement tests. Hopefully that will lead to less
friction in the long run.
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/20514https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/20515
d) Previously we could grep for dlopen( somewhat reliably but now
upstream started using a wrapper around dlopen that is most of the
time used with linebreaks. This makes using grep not ergonomic
anymore.
With this bump we are grepping for anything that looks like a
dynamic library name (in contrast to a dlopen(3) call) and replace
those instead. That seems more robust. Time will tell if this holds.
I tried using coccinelle to patch all those call sites using its
tooling but unfornately it does stumble upon the _cleanup_
annotations that are very common in the systemd code.
e) We now have some machinery for libbpf support in our systemd build.
That being said it doesn't actually work as generating some skeletons
doesn't work just yet. It fails with the below error message and is
disabled by default (in both minimal and the regular build).

f) We do now have support for TPM2 based disk encryption in our
systemd build. The actual bits and pieces to make use of that are
missing but there are various ongoing efforts in that direction.
There is also the story about systemd in our initrd to enable this
being used for root volumes. None of this will yet work out of the
box but we can start improving on that front.
g) FIDO2 support was added systemd and consequently we can now use
that. Just with TPM2 there hasn't been any integration work with
NixOS and instead this just adds that capability to work on that.

I noticed this minor grammar mistake when running update.nix, and then
while grepping to find the source I noticed we had it a few times in
Nixpkgs. Just as easy to fix treewide as it was to fix the one
occurrence I noticed.
Adds the ability to provide the --write flag in addition to the --serve flag via
a new option, services.sshServe.write.
A user can now share their system as a remote builder with friends easily as
follows:
{
nix = {
sshServe = {
enable = true;
write = true;
keys = ["ssh-dss AAAAB3NzaC1k... alice@example.org"];
};
};
}
