I may have finally found a clean solution to the issues[1][2][3] with
the automatic discovery of wireless network interfaces.
[1]: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/101963

[3]: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/125917#issuecomment-856000426
Currently the start script fails right away if no interface is available
by the time it's running, possibly leaving the system without network.
This happens when running a little early in the boot. A solution is to
instead wait for at least one interface to appear before scanning the
/sys/class/net/ directory. This is done here by listening for the right
udev events (from the net/wlan subsystem) using the `udevadm monitor`
command and grep to match its output.
This methods guarantees the availability of at least one interface to
wpa_supplicant, but won't add additional interfaces once it has started.
However, if the current interface is lost, say unplugged, the service is
automatically stopped and will be restarted as soon as a one (not
necessarily the same) is detected. It would be possible make this fully
dynamic by running another service that continously listen for udev
events and manages the main wpa_supplicant daemon, but this is probably
overkill.
I tested the following cases:
- one interface, starting at boot, w/o predictable naming scheme
- two interfaces, starting at boot (intel wireless and a usb adapter),
w/o predictable naming scheme
- one interface after the system booted, w/o predictable naming scheme
- two interfaces after the system booted, w/o predictable naming scheme
- unplugging and plugging back the current interface
I expect it suffices that the channel only blocks on one firefox ESR
test - the one for the default ESR. I didn't want to have the
information about the default in two places, so either of the tests will
be evaluated twice (but to the same *.drv I hope).
Analogous to 6325d15e90.
The test certificate expiration date was set to the default 30 days.
This certificate is generated through its own derivation. As with
every derivation, it gets cached by cache.nixos.org once we build it.
In practice, we rebuild this derivation only if one of its input
changes. The only inputs here being openssl and stdenv.
While it's not an issue on the unstable branches, it can be
problematic on a stable release: the test will fail after 30 days.
Extending the certificate lifespan from 1 month to 100 years to prevent
it from getting expired while being cached.
There is no generic services.kea.enable option. Instead kea consists of
four daemons (dhcp4, dhcp6, ddns, ctrlagent) that can be enabled
individually. In this test we're just looking at dhcp6.
This change makes it so that accessing config.users.groups.*.members isn't
empty by default, but instead contains all the users whose `extraGroups`
includes that group, allowing fancy things like
{ config, ... }: {
users.groups.libvirt.members = config.users.groups.wheel.members;
}
to add all users in the wheel group to the libvirt group
Some ACME providers (like Buypass) are using a different certificate
to sign OCSP responses than for server certificates. Therefore,
sslTrustedCertificate should be provided by the user and we need to
allow that.
* Previously, both the xorg and wayland backend were built into the yambar
package. The refactor breaks up each backends to its separate, with xorg
being the default. Thus yambar users on wayland should switch to the
yambar-wayland package.
For security reasons, and generally, it is best to create a more fine
grained group than plugdev. This way users that wish to tweak razer
devices don't have access to the entire plugdev group's permissions.
This is of course a breaking change.

for more context.
Nullmailer expects that this directory exists (see
073f4e9c5d/doc/nullmailer-send.8 (L185)).
When it doesn't and an email cannot be sent due to a permanent failure
or has been in the queue longer than queuelifetime (7 days), message
"Can't rename file: No such file or directory" starts appearing in the
log and nullmailer never sends "Could not send message" notification.
This means that the user may never learn that his email was not
delivered.
Previously the driver was configured exclusively through convoluted
environment variables.
Now the driver's defaults are configured through env variables.
Some additional concerns are in the github comments of this PR.
This fixes:

This option allows basic configuration of the compression technique
used in the backup script. Specifically it adds `none` and `zstd` as
new alternatives, keeping `gzip` as the default.
The service likes to write files uploaded by the user to the service
user's $HOME. In our case the hqplayerd user has no home directory,
since it's a system user, and regardless we'd like to keep the service's
state contained.
With this change the unit forces HOME to point to
/var/lib/hqplayer/home, which works around the issue.
so the underlaying use case of the preceding commit is so
generic, that we gain a lot in reasoning to give it an
appropriate name.
As the comment states:
image media needs to override host config short of mkForce
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/131760 was made to avo
a speicific configuration conflict that errored out for multiple definitions of "/" when the installer where overlayed
on any existing host configuration.
---
Problem 1: It turns out that in also other mountpoints can coflict.
Solution 1: use `mkOverride 60` for all mountpoints (even for the ones unlikely causing confilct for consistency sake)
---
Problem 2: It turns out that on an installation media for a fresh machine (before formatting), we usually don't have any devices yet formatted. However defining for example `fileSystems.<nme>.device = "/dev/disk/by-label/...", in newer versions of nixos, seems to make the system startup fail. Similarily waiting for a non-existent swap device does not make the startup fail, but has a 1:30 min timeout.
Solution 2: For an installation medium, soft-override ("unless users know what they are doing") the entire `fileSystems` and `swapDevices` definitions.
Starting in v1.10.4, go-ethereum changed the default sync mode to snap
sync. This adds "snap" as one of valid types of syncmode and updates
`services.geth.syncmode` to use it by default instead of the previous
fast sync.
GDM 40.1 switched from storing X11 sessions in the "XSession" property
on AccountService to "Session" with a "x11" "SessionType".
For compatibility reasons, we should set both, since AccountService
doesn't seem to provide the compatibility for us.
Before this commit, the `flake` option was typed with `types.unspecified`.
This type get's merged via [`mergeDefaultOption`](ebb592a04c/lib/options.nix (L119-L128)), which has a line
```nix
else if all isFunction list then x: mergeDefaultOption loc (map (f: f x) list)
```
`lib.isFunction` detects an attrs in the shape of `{__functor = ...}` as
a function and hence this line substitutes such attrs with a function
(f: f x).
If now, a flake input has a `__functor` as it's output, this will
coerce the once attrs to a function. This breaks a lot of things later
in the stack, for example a later `lib.filterAttrs seive <LAMBDA>` will
fail for obious reasons.
According to @infinisil, `types.unspecified` is due to deprecation. In
the meantime this PR provides a specific fix for the specific problem
discovered.
The main goal of this commit is to replace the rather fragile passing of
multiple arrays which could break in cases like #130935.
While I could have just added proper shell escaping to the variables
being passed, I opted for the more painful approach of replacing the
fragile and somewhat strange construct with the 5 bash lists. While
there are currently no more problems present with the current approach
(at least none that I know of), the new approach seems more solid and
might get around problems that could arise in the future stemming from
either the multiple-lists situation or from the absence of proper shell
quoting all over the script.
This allows the user to manually specify the addresses nginx shoud
listen on, while still having the convinience to use the *SSL options
and have the ports automatically applied
systemd-coredump tries to drop privileges to a systemd-coredump user if
present (and falls back to the root user if it's not available).
Create that user, and recycle uid 151 for it. We don't really care about
the gid.
Fixes https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/120803.
the use of python further restricts possible RFC1035 host labels since
dash is not allowed for use in python identifiers.
The previous implementation of this check was flawed, since it did not
check the `hostName` value that is actually used to construe the
identifier, but the node name, which can be anything, e.g. just `machine`.
The previous implementation, by further restricting RFC1035 labels, only
for the sake of testing seems to be an unacceptable restriction and should
be addressed separately.
installer media can be used on top of existing host configs. In such
scenarions, root fs types will already be defined.
Before this change, this will inevitably lead to the following error:
```console
error: The option `fileSystems./.fsType' has conflicting definition values:
- In `/nix/store/2nl5cl4mf6vnldpbxhrbzfh0n8rsv9fm-source/DevOS/os/hardware/common.nix': "ext4"
- In `/nix/store/jbch90yqx6gg1h3fq30jjj2b6h6jfjgs-source/nixos/modules/installer/cd-dvd/iso-image.nix': "tmpfs"
```
With this patch, the installers will override those values according to
their own local requirement.
Use `mkOverride 60` so that conscientious overriding specially targeted
at the installer, e.g. with `mkForce` is still straight forward.
When sending or receiving datasets with the old implementation it
wouldn't matter which dataset we were sending or receiving, we would
always delegate permissions to the entire pool.

This should catch regressions like #131074 in the future. In that case a
glibc update caused a regression that caused most of the text to become
invisible (just not the "Web Store" we've already been checking for).
The pppd daemon starting with version 2.4.9 uses rtnetlink to configure
the ipv6 peer address on the ppp interface. It therefore requires
allowing AF_NETLINK sockets.
The kernel before version 5.7 required CAP_SYS_ADMIN to conduct BPF
operations. After that a separate capability CAP_BPF was created, which
should be sufficient in this scenario and will further tighten the
sandbox around our pppd service.
Tested on my personal DSL line.

Note: This won't be the smoothest update. Chromium seems to be fine but
requires gtk3 in $LD_LIBRARY_PATH to find libgtk-3.so.0 (otherwise it
crashes during startup) but Google Chrome fails to initialize
("GPU process exited unexpectedly: exit_code=132") and requires
"--use-gl=angle --use-angle=swiftshader" for hardware(?) acceleration
(which seems to work work fine and performant but SwiftShader should
actually use the CPU instead of the GPU).
