While switching NixOS configurations with both
networking.useNetworkd = true;
virtualisation.virtualbox.host.enable;
You often end up waiting for systemd-networkd-wait-online.service.
This happens because the vboxnet0 device doesn't have a carrier until
virtualbox machines are started, so networkd gets stuck in
"Configuring":
⇒ networkctl list
IDX LINK TYPE OPERATIONAL SETUP
1 lo loopback carrier unmanaged
2 wlp2s0 wlan routable unmanaged
3 vboxnet0 ether no-carrier configuring
This updates the NixOS virtualbox host module to include a
RequiredForOnline=no statement in the generated 40-vboxnet0.network
file, so networkd doesn't consider it necessary for
systemd-networkd-wait-online.service to finish.
List all modules that *may* be required depending on individual container
configurations; don't expect that further modules can be loaded after boot.
Fixes https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/38676
Openvswitch was upgraded to the latest
stable version (currenty 2.12.0). This remove ovs-monitor-ipsec
commands.
LTS version is still available using
`config.virtualisation.vswitch.package = pkgs.openvswitch-lts`
it has been upgraded to 2.5.6.
This commit is a split from the original PR #35127.
This fixes the warning being emitted by nixos-rebuild switch:
building Nix...
building the system configuration...
trace: warning: types.string is deprecated because it quietly concatenates strings
It started emitting a warning in #66346.
Since https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/61321, local-fs.target is
part of sysinit.target again, meaning units without
DefaultDependencies=no will automatically depend on it, and the manual
set dependencies can be dropped.
With local-fs.target part of sysinit.target
(https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/61321), we don't need to add it
explicitly to certain units anymore, and can change dependencies like
they are in other distros (I picked from Google's official CentOS 7
image here).
Like them, use StandardOutput=journal+console to pipe google-*.service
output to the serial console as well.
This adds a new ``onBoot`` option that allows specifying the action taken on
guests when the host boots. Specifying "start" ensures all guests that were
running prior to shutdown are started, regardless of their autostart settings.
Specifying "ignore" will make libvirtd ignore such guests. Any guest marked as
autostart will still be automatically started by libvirtd.
systemd provides two sysctl snippets, 50-coredump.conf and
50-default.conf.
These enable:
- Loose reverse path filtering
- Source route filtering
- `fq_codel` as a packet scheduler (this helps to fight bufferbloat)
This also configures the kernel to pass coredumps to `systemd-coredump`.
These sysctl snippets can be found in `/etc/sysctl.d/50-*.conf`,
and overridden via `boot.kernel.sysctl`
(which will place the parameters in `/etc/sysctl.d/60-nixos.conf`.
Let's start using these, like other distros already do for quite some
time, and remove those duplicate `boot.kernel.sysctl` options we
previously did set.
In the case of rp_filter (which systemd would set to 2 (loose)), make
our overrides to "1" more explicit.
We might be inside a NixOS container on a non-NixOS host, so instead of not
running at all inside a container, check if the nix-daemon socket is writable as
it will tell us if the store is managed from here or outside.
Fixes#63578
See https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/15747. Previously this module was called `<unknown-file>`
in error messages, now it is called a bit more close to real:
```
module at /home/danbst/dev/nixpkgs/nixos/modules/virtualisation/containers.nix:470
```
Fix#61859.
Assertion fails when a Google Compute Engine image is built, because
now choices of filesystem types are restricted to `f2fs` and `ext` family if
auto-resizing is enabled.
This change will pin the filesystem used on such an image to be `ext4` for now.
A new internal option `hardware.opengl.setLdLibraryPath` is added which controls if `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` should be set to `/run/opengl-driver(-32)/lib`. It is false by default and is meant to be set to true by any driver which requires it. If this option is false, then `opengl.nix` and `xserver.nix` will not set `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`.
Currently Mesa and NVidia drivers don't set `setLdLibraryPath` because they work with libglvnd and do not override libraries, while `amdgpu-pro`, `ati` and `parallels-guest` set it to true (the former two really need it, the last one doesn't build so is presumed to).
Additionally, the `libPath` attribute within entries of `services.xserver.drivers` is removed. This made `xserver.nix` add the driver path directly to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` for the display manager (including X server). Not only is it redundant when the driver is added to `hardware.opengl.package` (assuming that `hardware.opengl.enable` is true), in fact all current drivers except `ati` set it incorrectly to the package path instead of package/lib.
This removal of `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` could break certain packages using CUDA, but only those that themselves load `libcuda` or other NVidia driver libraries using `dlopen` (not if they just use `cudatoolkit`). A few have already been fixed but it is practically impossible to test all because most packages using CUDA are libraries/frameworks without a simple way to test.
Fixes#11434 if only Mesa or NVidia graphics drivers are used.
Quite some fixing was needed to get this to work.
Changes in VirtualBox and additions:
- VirtualBox is no longer officially supported on 32-bit hosts so i686-linux is removed from platforms
for VirtualBox and the extension pack. 32-bit additions still work.
- There was a refactoring of kernel module makefiles and two resulting bugs affected us which had to be patched.
These bugs were reported to the bug tracker (see comments near patches).
- The Qt5X11Extras makefile patch broke. Fixed it to apply again, making the libraries logic simpler
and more correct (it just uses a different base path instead of always linking to Qt5X11Extras).
- Added a patch to remove "test1" and "test2" kernel messages due to forgotten debugging code.
- virtualbox-host NixOS module: the VirtualBoxVM executable should be setuid not VirtualBox.
This matches how the official installer sets it up.
- Additions: replaced a for loop for installing kernel modules with just a "make install",
which seems to work without any of the things done in the previous code.
- Additions: The package defined buildCommand which resulted in phases not running, including RUNPATH
stripping in fixupPhase, and installPhase was defined which was not even run. Fixed this by
refactoring using phases. Had to set dontStrip otherwise binaries were broken by stripping.
The libdbus path had to be added later in fixupPhase because it is used via dlopen not directly linked.
- Additions: Added zlib and libc to patchelf, otherwise runtime library errors result from some binaries.
For some reason the missing libc only manifested itself for mount.vboxsf when included in the initrd.
Changes in nixos/tests/virtualbox:
- Update the simple-gui test to send the right keys to start the VM. With VirtualBox 5
it was enough to just send "return", but with 6 the Tools thing may be selected by
default. Send "home" to reliably select Tools, "down" to move to the VM and "return"
to start it.
- Disable the VirtualBox UART by default because it causes a crash due to a regression
in VirtualBox (specific to software virtualization and serial port usage). It can
still be enabled using an option but there is an assert that KVM nested virtualization
is enabled, which works around the problem (see below).
- Add an option to enable nested KVM virtualization, allowing VirtualBox to use hardware
virtualization. This works around the UART problem and also allows using 64-bit
guests, but requires a kernel module parameter.
- Add an option to run 64-bit guests. Tested that the tests pass with that. As mentioned
this requires KVM nested virtualization.
Regression introduced by c94005358c.
The commit introduced declarative docker containers and subsequently
enables docker whenever any declarative docker containers are defined.
This is done via an option with type "attrsOf somesubmodule" and a check
on whether the attribute set is empty.
Unfortunately, the check was whether a *list* is empty rather than
wether an attribute set is empty, so "mkIf (cfg != [])" *always*
evaluates to true and thus subsequently enables docker by default:
$ nix-instantiate --eval nixos --arg configuration {} \
-A config.virtualisation.docker.enable
true
Fixing this is simply done by changing the check to "mkIf (cfg != {})".
Tested this by running the "docker-containers" NixOS test and it still
passes.

This otherwise does not eval `:tested` any more, which means no nixos
channel updates.
Regression comes from 0eb6d0735f (#57751)
which added an assertion stopping the use of `autoResize` when the
filesystem cannot be resized automatically.

Since 34234dcb51, for resize2fs to be automatically included in
initrd, a filesystem needed for boot must be explicitly defined as an
ext* type filesystem.
Adds `virtualisation.qemu.drives` option to specify drives to be used by
qemu.
Also fix boot when `virtualisation.useBootLoader` is set to true. Since
the boot disk is second qemu doesn't boot on it. Added `bootindex=1` to
the boot disk device.
This allows the VM to provide a `configuration.nix` file to the VM.
The test doesn't work in sandbox because it needs Internet (however it
works interactively).
The Openstack metadata service exposes the EC2 API. We use the
existing `ec2.nix` module to configure the hostname and ssh keys of an
Openstack Instance.
A test checks the ssh server is well configured.
This is mainly to reduce the size of the image (700MB). Also,
declarative features provided by cloud-init are not really useful
since we would prefer to use our `configuration.nix` file instead.
According to systemd-nspawn(1), --network-bridge implies --network-veth,
and --port option is supported only when private networking is enabled.
Fixes#52417.
Use googleOsLogin for login instead.
This allows setting users.mutableUsers back to false, and to strip the
security.sudo.extraConfig.
security.sudo.enable is default anyhow, so we can remove that as well.
When privateNetwork is enabled, currently the container's interface name
is derived from the container name. However, there's a hard limit
on the size of interface names. To avoid conflicts and other issues,
we set a limit on the container name when privateNetwork is enabled.
Fixes#38509
Cloudstack images are simply using cloud-init. They are not headless
as a user usually have access to a console. Otherwise, the difference
with Openstack are mostly handled by cloud-init.
This is still some minor issues. Notably, there is no non-root user.
Other cloud images usually come with a user named after the
distribution and with sudo. Would it make sense for NixOS?
Cloudstack gives the user the ability to change the password.
Cloud-init support for this is imperfect and the set-passwords module
should be declared as `- [set-passwords, always]` for this to work. I
don't know if there is an easy way to "patch" default cloud-init
configuration. However, without a non-root user, this is of no use.
Similarly, hostname is usually set through cloud-init using
`set_hostname` and `update_hostname` modules. While the patch to
declare nixos to cloud-init contains some code to set hostname, the
previously mentioned modules are not enabled.
This module permits to preload Docker image in a VM in order to reduce
OIs on file copies. This module has to be only used in testing
environments, when the test requires several Docker images such as in
Kubernetes tests. In this case,
`virtualisation.dockerPreloader.images` can replace the
`services.kubernetes.kubelet.seedDockerImages` options.
The idea is to populate the /var/lib/docker directory by mounting qcow
files (we uses qcow file to avoid permission issues) that contain images.
For each image specified in
config.virtualisation.dockerPreloader.images:
1. The image is loaded by Docker in a VM
2. The resulting /var/lib/docker is written to a QCOW file
This set of QCOW files can then be used to populate the
/var/lib/docker:
1. Each QCOW is mounted in the VM
2. Symlink are created from these mount points to /var/lib/docker
3. A /var/lib/docker/image/overlay2/repositories.json file is generated
4. The docker daemon is started.
`services.virtualisation.libvirtd.onShutdown` was previously unused.
While suspending a domain on host shutdown is the default, this commit
makes it so domains can be shut down, also.
Previously, setting "privateNetwork = true" without specifying host and
local addresses would create unconfigured interfaces: ve-$INSTANCE on the host
and eth0 inside the container.
These changes is rebased part of the original PR #3021.

* Enable Cgroup delegation for nixos-containers
Delegate=yes should be set for container scopes where a systemd instance
inside the container shall manage the hierarchies below its own cgroup
and have access to all controllers.
This is equivalent to enabling all accounting options on the systemd
process inside the system container. This means that systemd inside
the container is responsible for managing Cgroup resources for
unit files that enable accounting options inside. Without this
option, units that make use of cgroup features within system
containers might misbehave
See original commit: https://github.com/NixOS/systemd/commit/a931ad47a8
from the manpage:
Turns on delegation of further resource control partitioning to
processes of the unit. Units where this is enabled may create and
manage their own private subhierarchy of control groups below the
control group of the unit itself. For unprivileged services (i.e.
those using the User= setting) the unit's control group will be made
accessible to the relevant user. When enabled the service manager
will refrain from manipulating control groups or moving processes
below the unit's control group, so that a clear concept of ownership
is established: the control group tree above the unit's control
group (i.e. towards the root control group) is owned and managed by
the service manager of the host, while the control group tree below
the unit's control group is owned and managed by the unit itself.
Takes either a boolean argument or a list of control group
controller names. If true, delegation is turned on, and all
supported controllers are enabled for the unit, making them
available to the unit's processes for management. If false,
delegation is turned off entirely (and no additional controllers are
enabled). If set to a list of controllers, delegation is turned on,
and the specified controllers are enabled for the unit. Note that
additional controllers than the ones specified might be made
available as well, depending on configuration of the containing
slice unit or other units contained in it. Note that assigning the
empty string will enable delegation, but reset the list of
controllers, all assignments prior to this will have no effect.
Defaults to false.
Note that controller delegation to less privileged code is only safe
on the unified control group hierarchy. Accordingly, access to the
specified controllers will not be granted to unprivileged services
on the legacy hierarchy, even when requested.
The following controller names may be specified: cpu, cpuacct, io,
blkio, memory, devices, pids. Not all of these controllers are
available on all kernels however, and some are specific to the
unified hierarchy while others are specific to the legacy hierarchy.
Also note that the kernel might support further controllers, which
aren't covered here yet as delegation is either not supported at all
for them or not defined cleanly.
When logging into a container by using
nixos-container root-login
all nix-related commands in the container would fail, as they
tried to modify the nix db and nix store, which are mounted
read-only in the container. We want nixos-container to not
try to modify the nix store at all, but instead delegate
any build commands to the nix daemon of the host operating system.
This already works for non-root users inside a nixos-container,
as it doesn't 'own' the nix-store, and thus defaults
to talking to the daemon socket at /nix/var/nix/daemon-socket/,
which is bind-mounted to the host daemon-socket, causing all nix
commands to be delegated to the host.
However, when we are the root user inside the container, we have the
same uid as the nix store owner, eventhough it's not actually
the same root user (due to user namespaces). Nix gets confused,
and is convinced it's running in single-user mode, and tries
to modify the nix store directly instead.
By setting `NIX_REMOTE=daemon` in `/etc/profile`, we force nix
to operate in multi-user mode, so that it will talk to the host
daemon instead, which will modify the nix store for the container.
This fixes#40355
Several service definitions used `mkEnableOption` with text starting
with "Whether to", which produced funny option descriptions like
"Whether to enable Whether to run the rspamd daemon..".
This commit corrects this, and adds short descriptions of services
to affected service definitions.
This reverts commit f777d2b719.

10G is not enough for a desktop installation, and resizing a Virtualbox disk image is a pain.
Let's increase the default disk size to 100G. It does not require more storage space, since the empty bits are left out.
And don't need to source the uevent files anymore either since $MAJOR
or $MINOR aren't used elsewhere.
[dezgeg: The reason these are no longer needed is that 0d27df280f

This reverts commit 095fe5b43d.
Pointless renames considered harmful. All they do is force people to
spend extra work updating their configs for no benefit, and hindering
the ability to switch between unstable and stable versions of NixOS.
Like, what was the value of having the "nixos." there? I mean, by
definition anything in a NixOS module has something to do with NixOS...
