* Update: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pwithnall/malcontent/-/releases/0.8.0
* Fix the separation patch.
* Add `itstool` to ui (needed for building localized help).
* Use `pkg-config` instead of the `pkgconfig` alias.
* Fix some issues related to multiple outputs:
* Make the module pass specific output to `dbus.packages` since the `dbus` NixOS module will not generate configuration with correct interface paths otherwise.
* Change `malcontent-ui` package to primarily-a-program type derivation (`out`+`lib` instead of `bin`+`out`) since there are more and more `malcontent-control`-specific assets.
* This also fixes the issue where application data (desktop files, icons…) were installed to `out`, which is not installed by `environment.systemPackages`/`system-path.nix`’s `buildEnv` by default when `bin` output is also present.
* Make `malcontent` package install `out` output too so that `system-path.nix` links that too. It contains the AccountsService & Polkit data files.
* Split the library and PAM module out of `malcontent.out` so that they are not installed with the data files.
* This revealed a bug in the `gobject-introspection` setup hook.

This is necessary for VPNs where some of the nodes run pre-1.1 versions.
Most of Linux distros [0] and even the nixpkgs.tinc attribute run on that
version, so it might be useful to have that option.

The toplevel derivations of systems that have `networking.hostName`
set to `""` (because they want their hostname to be set by DHCP) used
to be all named
`nixos-system-unnamed-${config.system.nixos.label}`.
This makes them hard to distinguish.
A similar problem existed in NixOS tests where `vmName` is used in the
`testScript` to refer to the VM. It defaulted to the
`networking.hostName` which when set to `""` won't allow you to refer
to the machine from the `testScript`.
This commit makes the `system.name` configurable. It still defaults to:
```
if config.networking.hostName == ""
then "unnamed"
else config.networking.hostName;
```
but in case `networking.hostName` needs to be to `""` the
`system.name` can be set to a distinguishable name.
This modifies the `router` to not give out a range of IP addresses but
only give out a fixed address based on the MAC address using the
`services.dhcpd4.machines` option.
To get access to the MAC address the `qemuNicMac` function is defined
and exported from `qemu-flags.nix`.
The resilio module places the directoryRoot configuration in the webui
section. However, the generated configuration fails on the current
version of Resilio Sync with:
Invalid key context: 'directory_root' must be in global config section
This change places this key in the global configuration section to
solve this error.
By generating a version-5 GUID based on $out (which contains
the derivation hash) and preventing isohybrid from overwriting
the GPT table (which already is populated correctly by xorriso).

This adds yubikey-agent as a package and a nixos module.
On macOS, we use `wrapProgram` to set pinentry_mac as default in PATH;
on Linux we rely on the user to set their preferred pinentry in PATH.
In particular, we use a systemd override to prefix PATH to select a
chosen pinentry program if specified.
On Linux, we need libnotify to provide the notify-send utility for
desktop notifications (such as "Waiting for Yubikey touch...").
This might work on other flavors of unix, but I haven't tested.
We reuse the programs.gnupg.agent.pinentryFlavor option for
yubikey-agent, but in doing so I hit a problem: pinentryFlavour's
default value is specified in a mkDefault, but only conditionally. We
ought to be able to pick up the pinentryFlavour whether or not gpg-agent
is running. As a result, this commit moves the default value to the
definition of programs.gnupg.agent.enable.
This reverts commit d3a26a5ecd.
Using ServiceConfig.ExecStart instead of script lead to the content not
being executed in a shell anymore, which broke the secrets being read
from a file and passed as a command line parameter.
This lets users do sneaky things before systemd starts, and
permanently affect the environment in which systemd runs. For example,
we could start systemd in a non-default network namespace by setting
the systemdExecutable to a wrapper script containing:
#!/bin/sh
ip netns add virtual
touch /var/run/netns/physical
mount -o bind /proc/self/ns/net /var/run/netns/physical
exec ip netns exec virtual systemd
_note: the above example does literally work, but there are unresolved
problems with udev and dhcp._
Also, add some sleep statements in between, which seems to at least feel
like it causes
> WARNING: Device /dev/vda* not initialized in udev database even after waiting 10000000 microseconds.
To occur less frequently.
This eventually still succeeds after some amount of waiting, I suspect
some racyness in the way lvm's udev-triggered scripts trigger other
units.
In the current implementation, there's no possibility to modify the default
parameter for keepalive. This is a number that indicates how frequently
keepalive messages should be sent from the worker to the buildmaster,
expressed in seconds. The default (600) causes a message to be sent to
the buildmaster at least once every 10 minutes.
If the worker is behind a NAT box or stateful firewall, these messages
may help to keep the connection alive: some NAT boxes tend to forget about
a connection if it has not been used in a while. When this happens, the
buildmaster will think that the worker has disappeared, and builds will
time out. Meanwhile the worker will not realize than anything is wrong.
This is required by (among others) Podman to run containers in rootless mode.
Other distributions such as Fedora and Ubuntu already set up these mappings.
The scheme with a start UID/GID offset starting at 100000 and increasing in 65536 increments is copied from Fedora.
Falling back to unversioned `/etc/fonts/conf.d` when versioned one does not exist
is problematic since it only occurs on non-NixOS systems and those are likely
to have a different version of fontconfig. When those versions use incompatible
elements in the config, apps using fontconfig will crash.
Instead, we are now falling back to the in-package `fonts.conf` file that loads
both the versioned global `conf.d` directory and the in-package `conf.d` since using
upstream settings on non-NixOS is preferable to not being able to use apps there.
In fact, we would not even need to link `fonts.conf`, as the in-package `fonts.conf`
will be always used unless someone creates the global one manually (the option is still
retained if one wants to write a custom NixOS module and to avoid unnecessary stat call on NixOS).
Additionally, since the `fonts.conf` will always load `conf.d` from the package, we no longer
need to install them to sytem `/etc` in the module. This needed some mucking with `50-user.conf`
which disables configs in user directories (a good thing IMO, NixOS module will turn it back on)
but otherwise, it is cleaner. The files are still prioritized by their name, regardless of their location.
See https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/73795#issuecomment-634370125 for more information.
The image tag can be specified or generated from the output hash.
Previously, a generated tag could be recovered from the evaluated
image with some string operations.
However, with the introduction of streamLayeredImage, it's not
feasible to compute the generated tag yourself.
With this change, the imageTag attribute is set unconditionally,
for the buildImage, buildLayeredImage, streamLayeredImage functions.
This permits using method_set_hostname but still denies
method_set_static_hostname. As a result DHCP clients can now always set
the transient hostname via the SetHostname method of the D-Bus interface
of systemd-hostnamed (org.freedesktop.hostname1.set-hostname).
If the NixOS option networking.hostName is set to an empty string (or
"localhost") the static hostname (kernel.hostname but NOT /etc/hostname)
will additionally be updated (this is intended).
From "man hostnamectl": The transient hostname is a fallback value
received from network configuration. If a static hostname is set, and is
valid (something other than localhost), then the transient hostname is
not used.
Fix#74847.
Note: It's possible to restrict access to the org.freedesktop.hostname1
interface using Polkit rules.
This was broken in 460c0d6 (PR #90431); now the nixos-unstable channel
should get unblocked.

Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference at /nix/store/...-install-grub.pl line 642, <FILE> line 5.
with `/boot/grub/state` being:
```
grub
2.04
no
/dev/sda
/boot
```
I am not sure where the trailing empty line can come from; the script does not
seem to write it. In any case, now we handle that situation as well.
Further, ensure that `extraGrubInstallArgs` defaults to the empty array
if its key is not present in the `jsonState`.
For example, turns the error
cannot copy /nix/store/g24xsmmsz46hzi6whv7qwwn17myn3jfq-grub-2.04/share/grub/unicode.pf2 to /boot
into the more useful
cannot copy /nix/store/g24xsmmsz46hzi6whv7qwwn17myn3jfq-grub-2.04/share/grub/unicode.pf2 to /boot: Read-only file system
Useful for when you need to build grub modules into your grub kernel
to get a working boot, as shown in the added example.
To store this new value, we switch to more structural JSON approach.
Using one line per value to store in `/boot/grub/state` gets really messy when
the values are arrays, or even worse, can contain newlines (escaping would be
needed). Further, removing a value from the file would get extra messy
(empty lines we'd have to keep for backwards compatibility).
Thus, from now on we use JSON to store all values we'll need in the future.
Without this, systemd-boot does not add an EFI boot entry for itself.
The reason it worked before this fix is because it would fall back to
the default installed \EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI
`sslCACert` was used for trust store of client and server certificates. Since `smtpd_tls_ask_ccert` defaults to no the setup of `smtpd_tls_CApath` was removed.

boot.loader.grub.device` was hardcoded to `bootDevice`, which is
wrong, because that's the device for `/`, and with `useBootLoader`
the boot loader is not on that device.
This bug probably came into existence because of bad naming;
`virtualisation.bootDevice` has description
"The disk to be used for the root filesystem", which is very confusing;
it should be `.rootDevice` then!
Unfortunately, the description is right and the attribute name is wrong,
so it is not easy to change this without deprecation.
This commit ensures that even if you use `useBootLoader` and
`diskInterface == "scsi"`, the created VM can boot through, and can run
`nixos-rebuild afterwards.
It also adds extra commentary to explain what's going on in this module
in general in relation to `useBootLoader`.
This explanation was contained in the description of
security.initialRootPassword but got lost when it was deprecated
a long ago (f496c3c) and removed.
This option has been deprecated for a long time because is redundant
(users.users.root.initialHashedPassword exists).
Moreover, being of type string, it required to handle the special value
"!" separately, instead of using just `null`.
This explains the
# Allow the user to log in as root without a password.
users.users.root.initialHashedPassword = "";
that the NixOS installer live systems use in
`profiles/installation-device.nix`.
Currently the service doesn't detect if on of the packages is updated
and doesn't restart.
By manually adding a trigger we make sure the service restarts if any of
the involved packages update.
With 'set 3 boot on' the error 'file system "/boot" is not a FAT EFI
system partition (ESP) file system' occurs when running
"nixos-install" during the basic installation (tested in in a
VirtualBox VM).
In certain cases, for example when custom OpenLDAP modules are
compiled into the binary, users may want to override the package used
for OpenLDAP.
This is especially common in setups where LDAP is the primary
authentication source, as good password hashing mechanisms need to be
enabled as extra modules.
nixos/tests/initrd-openvpn: Add test for openvpn in the initramfs
The module in this commit adds new options that allows the
integration of an OpenVPN client into the initrd.
This can be used e.g. to remotely unlock LUKS devices.
This commit also adds two tests for `boot.initrd.network.openvpn`.
The first one is a basic test to validate that a failing connection
does not prevent the machine from booting.
The second test validates that this module actually creates a valid
openvpn connection.
For this, it spawns three nodes:
- The client that uses boot.initrd.network.openvpn
- An OpenVPN server that acts as gateway and forwards a port
to the client
- A node that is external to the OpenVPN network
The client connects to the OpenVPN server and spawns a netcat instance
that echos a value to every client.
Afterwards, the external node checks if it receives this value over the
forwarded port on the OpenVPN gateway.
We remove the configFile build flag override in the NixOS module.
Instead of embedding the conf file link to the binaries, we symlink it
to /etc/nsd/nsd.nix, the hardcoded config file location for the
various CLI nsd utilities.
This config file build option override is triggerring a nsd rebuild
for each configuration change. This prevent us to use the nixos cache
in many cases.
