Using pkgs.lib on the spine of module evaluation is problematic
because the pkgs argument depends on the result of module
evaluation. To prevent an infinite recursion, pkgs and some of the
modules are evaluated twice, which is inefficient. Using ‘with lib’
prevents this problem.
This prevents errors like "Another app is currently holding the
xtables lock" if the firewall and NAT services are starting in
parallel. (Longer term, we should probably move to a single service
for managing the iptables rules.)
- Make dhcp work, use dhcpcd without udev in container
- Make login shell work, patch getty to not wait for /dev/tty0
- Make ssh work, sshd/pam do not start session
For example, the following sets up a container named ‘foo’. The
container will have a single network interface eth0, with IP address
10.231.136.2. The host will have an interface c-foo with IP address
10.231.136.1.
systemd.containers.foo =
{ privateNetwork = true;
hostAddress = "10.231.136.1";
localAddress = "10.231.136.2";
config =
{ services.openssh.enable = true; };
};
With ‘privateNetwork = true’, the container has the CAP_NET_ADMIN
capability, allowing it to do arbitrary network configuration, such as
setting up firewall rules. This is secure because it cannot touch the
interfaces of the host.
The helper program ‘run-in-netns’ is needed at the moment because ‘ip
netns exec’ doesn't quite do the right thing (it remounts /sys without
bind-mounting the original /sys/fs/cgroups).
This is useful for packages like mosh, which use a wide UDP port range
by default for incoming connections.

There are two fixes in this commit.
Firstly, I am creating proper symlinks for the Alias= definitions in the
.service files. This achieves the same result as `systemctl enable`, and
I think is preferred over `mv`.
Secondly, `networkmanager-init` now wants `NetworkManager.service`,
along with `ModemManager.service`. ModemManager does not depend on
NetworkManager (according to `systemctl list-dependencies ModemManager`),
thus NetworkManager never got started on boot.
This patch adds support for the creations of new bond devices, aggregate
pipes of physical devices for extra throughput or failover.
Additionally, add better correction at the startup of a bridge
of vlan interface (delete old, stale interfaces).
If you want minidla to accept connections from the rest of the world, please
add
networking.firewall.allowedTCPPorts = [ 8200 ];
networking.firewall.allowedUDPPorts = [ 1900 ];
to /etc/nixos/configuration.nix.
See <http://lists.science.uu.nl/pipermail/nix-dev/2013-November/011997.html>
for the discussion that lead to this.
ntopng is a high-speed web-based traffic analysis and flow collection
tool. Enable it by adding this to configuration.nix:
services.ntopng.enable = true;
Open a browser at http://localhost:3000 and login with the default
username/password: admin/admin.
- It now uses JavaScript for configuration (only),
so I had to "convert" config for NetworkManager.
- I tested suspend/restart/(un)mount on KDE/Xfce,
Phreedom tested NetworkManager config conversion.
Sshd *must* use PAM because we depend on it for proper session
management. The original goal of this option (disabling password
logins) can also be implemented by removing pam_auth authentication
from sshd's PAM service.
That is, you can say
security.pam.services.sshd = { options... };
instead of
security.pam.services = [ { name = "sshd"; options... } ];
making it easier to override PAM settings from other modules.
vsftpd improvements:
- intorduce one declarative list of options
- make docummentation strings more understandable and add missing options
such as SSL/TLS support
- Use environment.etc."vsftpd".text because I can't think about any
reason why a shell script should be used.
That code was written in 2009.
