- Create a child configuration named "Work" with an extra config file.
- Name the default configuration as "Home" :-)
- Once the VM is setup, reboot and verify that it has booted into
default configuration.
- Reboot into the "Work" configuration via grub.
- Verify that we have booted into the "Work" configuration and that
the extra config file is present.
This test works for the simple grub configuration and simple UEFI
Grub configuration. UEFI Systemd is not included in the test.
We were already creating a group for the user under which to run syncthing but
we were defaulting to running as `nogroup`.
Additionally, use `install` instead of multiple calls to mkdir/cp/chown.
Basic test which confirms new inputs can be created and that messages
can be sent to a UDP-GELF input using `netcat`.
This test requires 4GB of RAM to avoid issues due insufficient
memory (please refer to `nixos/tests/elk.nix` for a detailed explanation of
the issue) for elasticsearch.
Also it's ensured that elasticsearch has an open HTTP port for communication
when starting `graylog`. This is a workaround to ensure that all services
are started in proper order, even in test environments with less power.
However this shouldn't be implemented in the `nixos/graylog` module as
this might be harmful when using elasticsearch clusters that require e.g.
authentication and/or run on different servers.
NixOS usually needs nscd just to have a single place where
LD_LIBRARY_PATH can be set to include all NSS modules, but nscd is also
useful if some of the NSS modules need to read files which are only
accessible by root.
For example, nixos/modules/config/ldap.nix needs this when
users.ldap.enable = true;
users.ldap.daemon.enable = false;
and users.ldap.bind.passwordFile exists. In that case, the module
creates an /etc/ldap.conf which is only readable by root, but which the
NSS module needs to read in order to find out what LDAP server to
connect to and with what credentials.
If nscd is started as root and configured with the server-user option in
nscd.conf, then it gives each NSS module the opportunity to initialize
itself before dropping privileges. The initialization happens in the
glibc-internal __nss_disable_nscd function, which pre-loads all the
configured NSS modules for passwd, group, hosts, and services (but not
netgroup for some reason?) and, for each loaded module, calls an init
function if one is defined. After that finishes, nscd's main() calls
nscd_init() which ends by calling finish_drop_privileges().
There are provisions in systemd for using DynamicUser with a service
which needs to drop privileges itself, so this patch does that.
Until now the startup failed with an error like this:
```
com.github.joschi.jadconfig.ValidationException: Parent path /var/lib/graylog/server for Node ID file at /var/lib/graylog/server/node-id is not a directory
```
This happens since `graylog.service` ensures that `/var/lib/graylog`
exists, however it doesn't take care of the directory for
`cfg.nodeIdFile`.
Thanks to @arianvp for pointing out that when DynamicUser is true,
systemd defaults the value of User to be the name of the unit, which in
this case is already "nscd".

This is more robust than setting via environment variable, though it does come
later in the load sequence. An added benefit is affecting the current
session.
PHP 7.1 is currently on life support, as in only recieving security related patches.
This will only continue until: 2019-12-01
This date are in the middle of the 19.09 lifecycle. So it would be
nice to not have it in the 19.09 stable release. Dropping it now would
also result in less maintanance in updating them.
The death dates can be seen on following links:

These options were being set to the same value as the defaults that are
hardcoded in nscd. Delete them so it's clear which settings are actually
important for NixOS.
One exception is `threads 1`, which is different from the built-in
default of 4. However, both values are equivalent because nscd forces
the number of threads to be at least as many as the number of kinds of
databases it supports, which is 5.
nscd doesn't create any files outside of /run/nscd unless the nscd.conf
"persistent" option is used, which we don't do by default. Therefore it
doesn't matter what UID/GID we run this service as, so long as it isn't
shared with any other running processes.
/run/nscd does need to be owned by the same UID that the service is
running as, but systemd takes care of that for us thanks to the
RuntimeDirectory directive.
If someone wants to turn on the "persistent" option, they need to
manually configure users.users.nscd and systemd.tmpfiles.rules so that
/var/db/nscd is owned by the same user that nscd runs as.
In an all-defaults boot.isContainer configuration of NixOS, this removes
the only user which did not have a pre-assigned UID.
Previously this module created both /var/db/nscd and /run/nscd using
shell commands in a preStart script. Note that both of these paths are
hard-coded in the nscd source. (Well, the latter is actually
/var/run/nscd but /var/run is a symlink to /run so it works out the
same.)
/var/db/nscd is only used if the nscd.conf "persistent" option is turned
on for one or more databases, which it is not in our default config
file. I'm not even sure persistent mode can work under systemd, since
`nscd --shutdown` is not synchronous so systemd will always
unceremoniously kill nscd without reliably giving it time to mark the
databases as unused. Nonetheless, if someone wants to use that option,
they can ensure the directory exists using systemd.tmpfiles.rules.
systemd can create /run/nscd for us with the RuntimeDirectory directive,
with the added benefit of causing systemd to delete the directory on
service stop or restart. The default value of RuntimeDirectoryMode is
755, the same as the mode which this module was using before.
I don't think the `rm -f /run/nscd/nscd.pid` was necessary after NixOS
switched to systemd and used its PIDFile directive, because systemd
deletes the specified file after the service stops, and because the file
can't persist across reboots since /run is a tmpfs. Even if the file
still exists when nscd starts, it's only a problem if the pid it
contains has been reused by another process, which is unlikely. Anyway,
this change makes that deletion even less necessary, because now systemd
deletes the entire /run/nscd directory when the service stops.
This postStart step was introduced on 2014-04-24 with the comment that
"Nscd forks into the background before it's ready to accept
connections."
However, that was fixed upstream almost two months earlier, on
2014-03-03, with the comment that "This, along with setting the nscd
service type to forking in its systemd configuration file, allows
systemd to be certain that the nscd service is ready and is accepting
connections."
The fix was released several months later in glibc 2.20, which was
merged in NixOS sometime before 15.09, so it certainly should be safe to
remove this workaround by now.
Add an option to set the rc-manager parameter in NetworkManager.conf,
which controls how NetworkManager handles resolv.conf. This sets the
default rc-manager to "resolvconf", which solves #61490. It
additionally allows the user to change rc-manager without interference
from configuration activations.
This commit adds new options to the Deluge service:
- Allow configuration of the user/group which runs the deluged daemon.
- Allow configuration of the user/group which runs the deluge web
daemon.
- Allow opening firewall for the deluge web daemon.
This commit adds new configuration options to the Lidarr module that
allows configuration of the user and group that Lidarr runs as; and to
open the firewall for the Lidarr port.
This was added in #19936 so that vulkan-loader finds the ICD config files. It is
not needed any more after #62869 where it was ensured that the loader looks in
/run/opengl-driver(-32)/share.
There are many support questions when people add a new binary cache
and they suddenly lose nixos substitutions.
Most of the users want to keep that, so we're doing a breaking change.
Previously to disable all binary caches one had to do:
nix.binaryCache = [];
Now the same is possible via:
nix.binaryCache = lib.mkForce;
Applies OpenWRT's noscan patch to hostapd and the relevant option to
the hostapd module.
This noscan patch adds a new `noscan` option allowing us to create
some overlapping BSSs in HT40+/- mode.
Note: this option is disabled by default, we leave this up to the end
user whether it should be enabled or not.
Not being able to create those overlapping BSSs is basically
preventing us to use 802.11n in any urban area where chances to
overlap with another SSID are extremely high.
The patch we are using is a courtesy of the openwrt team and is
applied to the defaul hostapd package in both OpenWRT and Archlinux.
Using "builtins.currentSystem" doesn't work in pure evaluation mode,
and even when it's explicitly set (which it always is, in
nixos/lib/eval-config.nix), it breaks manual generation because the
manual tries to render the default value.
The change to "NixOS Test Cluster" in #59179 broke startup of existing clusters
that used the previously-default cluster name "Test Cluster":
ERROR 23:00:47 Fatal exception during initialization
org.apache.cassandra.exceptions.ConfigurationException: Saved cluster name Test Cluster != configured name NixOS Test Cluster
Fixes#63388.
This will keep configuration configuring the size of the /boot partition
still build, while showing the deprecation warning.
In 99.9% of cases I assume ignoring the configuration is better, as the
sd-image builder already is pretty opinionated in that matter.
The slack, seemingly, accounted for more than the minimum required for
slack plus the two partitions.
This change makes the gap a somewhat abstracted amount, but is not
configurable within the derivation.
The current FAT32 partition is kept as it is required for the Raspberry
Pi family of hardware. It is where the firmware is kept.
The partition is kept bootable, and the boot files kept in there until
the following commits, to keep all commits of this series individually
bootable.
Up until now, the output has been the same for swap devices and swap
files:
{ device = "/var/swapfile"; }
Whereas for swap *files* it's easier to manage them declaratively in
configuration.nix:
{ device = "/var/swapfile"; size = 8192; }
(NixOS will create the swapfile, and later resize it, if the size
attribute is changed.)
With the assumption that swap files are specified in configuration.nix,
it's silly to output them to hardware-configuration.nix.
This will reduce the confusion at boot, where the only thing visible is
the last message from u-boot; where it looks like the board is
hung, while in reality it's likely resizing partitions.

Fixes the broken metrics evaluation which was caused by a `trace`
warning in stdout which confused `jq` in `pkgs/top-level/metrics.nix`.
Also made the `bind-device` feature optional as suggested after the
merge.
Manual build broken by 79f7f89442, which
is part of pull request #59179 (Fix Cassandra, improve config and
tests).
The issue was just a small error because of an unbalanced <literal/>
tag, so only a "/" was missing :-)

The the extraConfig variable is added below the domain variable in the
ddclient config file. The domain variable should always be last.
(cherry picked from commit ba0ba6dc79)
If the `seedAddresses` is not set, don't force `SimpleSeedProvider` to
be in `seed_provider`. This could cause problems in a multi-datacenter
deployment when a different seed provider is preferred.
Below that it works but only when supplying a custom password file with
restricted permissions (i.e. outside the nix-store). We can't do that
using an absolute path in the tests.
If you're on a multi user system you don't want to have the password in
the nix-store. With the new jmxRolesFile option you can specify your own
protected file instead.
Seems like you can't have a node as its own seed when it's listening on
an interface instead of an IP. At least the way it was done in the
test doesn't work and I can't figure out any other way than to just
listen on the IP address instead.
