If the Nix daemon has never been enabled (nix.enable has always been
set to false), the gcroots directory won't exist. If the Nix daemon
is later enabled, the GC roots for booted-system and current-system
will be missing, and they might end up being garbage collected. Since
it's cheap to add GC roots even if the daemon will never be enabled,
let's just always add them so we're okay in the case where the daemon
is enabled later.
- Fully get rid of `parseKeyValues` and use systemctl features for that
- Add some regex modifiers recommended by perlcritic
- Get rid of a postfix if
- Sort units when showing their status
- Clean the logic for showing what failed from `elif` to `next`
- Switch from `state` to `substate` for `auto-restart` because that's
actually where the value is stored
- Show status of units with one single systemctl call and get rid of
COLUMNS in favor of --full
- Add a test for failing units
This replaces the naive K=V unit parser with a proper INI parser from a
library and adds proper support for override files. Also adds a bunch of
comments about parsing, I hope this makes it easier to understand and
maintain in the future.
There are multiple reasons to do so, the first one is just general
correctness with is nice imo. But to get to more serious reasons (I
didn't put in all that effort for nothing) is that this is the first
step torwards more clever restart/reload handling. By using a library
like Data::Compare a future PR could replace the current way of
fingerprinting units (which is to compare store paths) by comparing the
hashes. This is more precise because units won't get restarted because
the order of the options change, comments are added, some dependency of
writeText changes, .... Also this allows us to add a feature like
`X-Reload-Triggers` so the unit can either be reloaded when these change
or restarted when everything else changes, giving module authors the
ability to have their services reloaded without having to fear that
updates are not applied because the service doesn't get restarted.
Another reason why this feature is nice is that now that the unit files
are parsed correctly (and values are just extracted from one section),
potential future rewrites can just rely on some INI library without
having to implement their own weird parser that is compatible with this
script.
This also comes with a new subroutine to handle systemd booleans because
I thought the current way of handling it was just ugly. This also allows
overriding values this script reads in an override file.
Apart from making this script more compatible with the world around it,
this also fixes two issues I saw bugging exactly 0 (zero) people. First
is that this script now supports multiple override files, also ones that
are not called override.conf and the second one is that `1` and `on` are
treated as bools by systemd but were previously not parsed as such by
switch-to-configuration.
This removes `/run/nixos/activation-reload-list` (which we will need in
the future when reworking the reload logic) and makes
`/run/nixos/activation-restart-list` honor `restartIfChanged` and
`reloadIfChanged`. This way activation scripts don't have to bother with
choosing between reloading and restarting.
I was confused why I couldn't find a mention of udev.log_priority in
systemd-udevd.service(8). It turns out that it was renamed[1] to
udev.log_level. The old name is still accepted, but it'll avoid
further confusion if we use the new name in our documentation.

most modules can be evaluated for their documentation in a very
restricted environment that doesn't include all of nixpkgs. this
evaluation can then be cached and reused for subsequent builds, merging
only documentation that has changed into the cached set. since nixos
ships with a large number of modules of which only a few are used in any
given config this can save evaluation a huge percentage of nixos
options available in any given config.
in tests of this caching, despite having to copy most of nixos/, saves
about 80% of the time needed to build the system manual, or about two
second on the machine used for testing. build time for a full system
config shrank from 9.4s to 7.4s, while turning documentation off
entirely shortened the build to 7.1s.
Add `shellDryRun` to the generic stdenv and substitute it for uses of
`${stdenv.shell} -n`. The point of this layer of abstraction is to add
the flag `-O extglob`, which resolves#126344 in a more direct way.
some options have default that are best described in prose, such as
defaults that depend on the system stateVersion, defaults that are
derivations specific to the surrounding context, or those where the
expression is much longer and harder to understand than a simple text
snippet.
The first one doesn't make any sense because the directory where the
init binary resides does not contain other tools we need like
systemd-escape.
The second one doesn't make sense either because the errors are already
ignored.
Add `systemd.network.networks.*.dhcpServerStaticLeaseConfig` to allow
for configuring static DHCP leases through the `[DHCPServerStaticLease]`
section. See systemd.network(5) of systemd 249 for details.
Also adds the NixOS test `systemd-networkd-dhcpserver-static-lease` to
test the assignment of static leases.
This reverts commit 57961d2b83, reversing
changes made to b04f913afc.
(I.e. this reverts PR #141192.)
While well-intended, this change does unfortunately introduce very
serious regressions that are especially disruptive/noticeable on desktop
systems (e.g. users of Sway will loose their graphical session when
running "nixos-rebuild switch").
Therefore, this change has to be reverted ASAP instead of trying to fix
it in "production".
Note: An updated version should be extensively discussed, reviewed, and
tested before re-landing this change as an earlier version also had to
be reverted for the exact same issues [0].

mkDerivedConfig : Option a -> (a -> Definition b) -> Definition b
Create config definitions with the same priority as the definition of another option.
This should be used for option definitions where one option sets the value of another as a convenience.
For instance a config file could be set with a `text` or `source` option, where text translates to a `source`
value using `mkDerivedConfig options.text (pkgs.writeText "filename.conf")`.
It takes care of setting the right priority using `mkOverride`.
Before this change, one could set environment.etc.*.text and .source.
.source would always take precedence, regardless of the priorities set.
This change means that if, for instance, .text is set with mkForce but
.source is set normally, the .text content will be the one to take
effect. If they are set with the same priority they will conflict.
The regexp was only matching numbers and not the '.', so everyone using
systemd-boot would always see `could not find any previously installed
systemd-boot` on a `nixos-rebuild`.
By using the new extendModules function to produce the specialisations,
we avoid reimplementing the eval-config.nix logic in reverse and fix
cross compilation support for specialisations in the process.
Some specialisations (such as those which affect various boot-time
attributes) cannot be switched to at runtime. This allows picking the
specialisation at boot time.
/etc/crypttab can contain the _netdev option, which adds crypto devices
to the remote-cryptsetup.target.
remote-cryptsetup.target has a dependency on cryptsetup-pre.target. So
let's add both of them.
Currently, one needs to manually ssh in and invoke `systemctl start
systemd-cryptsetup@<name>.service` to unlock volumes.
After this change, systemd will properly add it to the target, and
assuming remote-cryptsetup.target is pulled in somewhere, you can simply
pass the passphrase by invoking `systemd-tty-ask-password-agent` after
ssh-ing in, without having to manually start these services.
Whether remote-cryptsetup.target should be added to multi-user.target
(as it is on other distros) is part of another discussion - right now
the following snippet will do:
```
systemd.targets.multi-user.wants = [ "remote-cryptsetup.target" ];
```
This makes the order of operations the same in dry-activate and a "true"
activate. Also fixes the indentation I messed up and drop a useless
unlink() call (we are already unlinking that file earlier).
The previous logic failed to detect that units were socket-activated
when the socket was stopped before switch-to-configuration was run. This
commit fixes that and also starts the socket in question.
The first FIXME is removed because it doesn't make sense to use
/proc/1/exe since that points to a directory that doesn't have all tools
the activation script needs (like systemd-escape).
The second one is removed because there is already no error handling
(compare with the restart logic where the return code is checked).
This commit changes a lot more that you'd expect but it also adds a lot
of new testing code so nothing breaks in the future. The main change is
that sockets are now restarted when they change. The main reason for
the large amount of changes is the ability of activation scripts to
restart/reload units. This also works for socket-activated units now,
and honors reloadIfChanged and restartIfChanged. The two changes don't
really work without each other so they are done in the one large commit.
The test should show what works now and ensure it will continue to do so
in the future.
allows configuration of foo-over-udp decapsulation endpoints. sadly networkd
seems to lack the features necessary to support local and peer address
configuration, so those are only supported when using scripted configuration.
Checks whether all spaces are inside double quotes, thus ensuring that one
string parses as no more than one kernel param.

On some systems bootctl cannot write the `LoaderSystemToken` EFI variable
during installation, which results in a failure to install the boot
loader. Upstream provides a flag (--graceful) to ignore such write failures -
this change exposes it as a configuration option.
As the exact semantics of this option appear to be somewhat volatile it
should be used only if systemd-boot otherwise fails to install.
The multipath-tools package had existed in Nixpkgs for some time but
without a nixos module to configure/drive it. This module provides
attributes to drive the majority of multipath configuration options
and is being successfully used in stage-1 and stage-2 boot to mount
/nix from a multipath-serviced iSCSI volume.
Credit goes to @grahamc for early contributions to the module and
authoring the NixOS module test.
This change is strictly functionally equivalent because we're just
lifting the transformation of `source` out of `mapAttrs` to the single point of
use (in escapeShellArgs).
This is also much faster because we can skip a map over all `etc` items.
Fixes:
```
activating the configuration...
warning: user ‘systemd-coredump’ has unknown group ‘systemd-coredump’
setting up /etc...
```
Oversight of #133166
When cross-compiling, we can't run the runtime shell to check syntax
if it's e.g. for a different architecture. We have two options here.
We can disable syntax checking when cross compiling, but that risks
letting errors through. Or, we can do what I've done here, and change
the syntax check to use stdenv's shell instead of the runtime shell.
This requires the stdenv shell and runtime shell to be broadly
compatible, but I think that's so ingrained in Nixpkgs anyway that
it's fine. And this way we avoid conditionals that check for cross.
The primary use case is tools like sops-nix and agenix to restart units
when secrets change. There's probably other reasons to restart units as
well and a nice thing to have in general.
The treatment of the "source" parameter changed
with eb7120dc79, breaking stuff.
Before that commit, the source parameter was converted to a
string by implicit coercion, which would copy the file to the
store and yield an string containing the store path. Now, by
the virtue of escapeShellArg, toString is called explicitly on
that path, which will yield an string containing the absolute
path of the file.
This commit restores the old behavior.
