Eelco Dolstra 0aa7520670 Revert "nixos: remove rsync from base install and add explicit path in nixos-install"
This reverts commit 582313bafe.

Removing rsync is actually pointless because nixos-install depends on
it. So if it's part of the system closure, we may as well provide it
to users.

Probably with the next Nix release we can drop the use of rsync and
use "nix copy" instead.

Domen Kožar a6670c1a0b Fixes #18124: atomically replace /var/setuid-wrappers/ (#18186)
Before this commit updating /var/setuid-wrappers/ folder introduced
a small window where NixOS activation scripts could be terminated
and resulted into empty /var/setuid-wrappers/ folder.

That's very unfortunate because one might lose sudo binary.

Instead we use two atomic operations mv and ln (as described in
https://axialcorps.com/2013/07/03/atomically-replacing-files-and-directories/)
to achieve atomicity.

Since /var/setuid-wrappers is not a directory anymore, tmpfs mountpoints
were removed in installation scripts and in boot process.

Tested:

- upgrade /var/setuid-wrappers/ from folder to a symlink
- make sure /run/setuid-wrappers-dirs/ legacy symlink is really deleted

obadz 24f8cf08cc nixos/lib/make-disk-image: refactor to use nixos-install
- Replace hand-rolled version of nixos-install in make-disk-image by an
  actual call to nixos-install
- Required a few cleanups of nixos-install
- nixos-install invokes an activation script which the hand-rolled version
  in make-disk-image did not do. We remove /etc/machine-id as that's
  a host-specific, impure, output of the activation script

Testing:

nix-build '<nixpkgs/nixos/release.nix>' -A tests.installer.simple passes

Also tried generating an image with:

nix-build -E 'let
    pkgs = import <nixpkgs> {};
    lib = pkgs.lib;
    nixos = import <nixpkgs/nixos> {
      configuration = {
        fileSystems."/".device = "/dev/disk/by-label/nixos";
        boot.loader.grub.devices = [ "/dev/sda" ];
        boot.loader.grub.extraEntries = '"''"'
          menuentry "Ubuntu" {
             insmod ext2
             search --set=root --label ubuntu
             configfile /boot/grub/grub.cfg
          }
        '"''"';
      };
    };
  in import <nixpkgs/nixos/lib/make-disk-image.nix> {
    inherit pkgs lib;
    config = nixos.config;
    diskSize = 2000;
    partitioned = false;
    installBootLoader = false;
  }'

Then installed the image:
$ sudo df if=./result/nixos.img of=/dev/sdaX bs=1M
$ sudo resize2fs /dev/disk/by-label/nixos
$ sudo mount /dev/disk/by-label/nixos /mnt
$ sudo mount --rbind /proc /mnt/proc
$ sudo mount --rbind /dev /mnt/dev
$ sudo chroot /mnt /nix/var/nix/profiles/system/bin/switch-to-configuration boot

[ … optionally do something about passwords … ]

and successfully rebooted to that image.

Was doing all this from inside a Ubuntu VM with a single user nix install.

obadz 806e88c137 nixos-install: cleanups & improvements to run on non-NixOS systems
- Fix --no-bootloader which didn't do what it advertised
- Hardcode nixbld GID so that systems which do not have a nixbld user
  can still run nixos-install (only with --closure since they can't
  build anything)
- Cleanup: get rid of NIX_CONF_DIR(=/tmp)/nix.conf and pass arguments instead
- Cleanup: don't assume that the target system has '<nixpkgs/nixos>' or
  '<nixos-config>' to see if config.users.mutableUsers. Instead check if
  /var/setuid-wrappers/passwd is there

Installing NixOS now works from a Ubuntu host (using --closure).

Revert adding .git-revision unconditionally
This reverts commit 1e534e234b.

We already should have a .git directory if it is managed via Git,
otherwise there is no way to get the Git revision if neither
.git-revision or .git is present.

But having .git-revision _and_ .git present seems very much redundant to
me.

Jan Malakhovski 119c8f91e7 nixos: introduce system.nixosLabel option and use it where appropriate
Setting nixosVersion to something custom is useful for meaningful GRUB
menus and /nix/store paths, but actuallly changing it rebulids the
whole system path (because of `nixos-version` script and manual
pages). Also, changing it is not a particularly good idea because you
can then be differentitated from other NixOS users by a lot of
programs that read /etc/os-release.

This patch introduces an alternative option that does all you want
from nixosVersion, but rebuilds only the very top system level and
/etc while using your label in the names of system /nix/store paths,
GRUB and other boot loaders' menus, getty greetings and so on.

Rickard Nilsson ca0c460406 nixos-rebuild: Add option for building and/or deploying on a remote host
This commit adds the options --build-host and --target-host to nixos-rebuild.

--build-host instructs nixos-rebuild to perform all nix builds on the
specified host (via ssh). Build results are then copied back to the
local machine and used when activating the system.

--build-target instructs nixos-rebuild to activate the configuration
not on the local machine but on the specified remote host. Build
results are copied to the target machine and then activated there (via ssh).

It is possible to combine the usage of --build-host and --target-host,
in which case you can perform the build on one remote machine and deploy
the configuration to another remote machine. The only requirement is that
the build host has a working ssh connection to the target host (if the
target is not local), and that the local machine can connect to both
the target and the build host. Also, your user must be allowed to copy
nix closures between the local machine and the target and host machines.

At no point in time are the configuration sources (the nix files) copied
anywhere. Instead, nix evaluation always happens locally
(with nix-instantiate). The drv-file is then copied and realised remotely
(with nix-store).

As a convenience, if only --target-host is specified, --build-host is
implicitly set to that host too. So if you want to build locally and deploy
remotely you have to explicitly set "--build-host localhost".

To activate (test, boot or switch) you need to have root access to the
target host. You can specify this by "--target-host root@myhost".

I have tested the obvious scenarios and they are working. Some of the
combinations of --build-host and --target-host and the various actions might
not make much sense, and should maybe be forbidden (like setting a remote
target host when building a VM), and some combinations might not work at all.

Tuomas Tynkkynen 269f261c73 installation-cd: Add separate boot entry that has 'nomodeset'
We seem to be in an unfortunate situation: booting without 'nomodeset'
causes hangs when booting on some NVIDIA cards (6948c3ab80), but on the
other hand adding 'nomodeset' prevents X from starting on other hardware
(e.g. issue #10381 and my Thinkpad X250 with an integrated Broadwell GPU).

Attempt to remedy this situation a bit by adding a separate entry in the
ISOLINUX menu (with the non-'nomodeset' being the default).

Tuomas Tynkkynen 725a4d6740 nixos-install: Don't use NIX_BUILD_HOOK from caller's environment
If nixos-install is run on a machine with `nix.distributedBuilds = true`
the installation will fail at some point like this:

Died at /nix/store/4frhrl31cl7iahlz6vyvysy5dmr6xnh3-nix-1.10/libexec/nix/build-remote.pl line 115, <STDIN> line 1.

This is due to `nix.distributedBuilds` setting
NIX_BUILD_HOOK=/nix/store/.../build-remote.pl in the global environment,
which then gets confused in the minimal chroot created by nixos-install.

To avoid these kinds of issues with build hooks, just disable them in
the chroot.

It also allows installing packages via "nix-env -iA nixos.<pkg>"

"nixpkgs.<pkg>", but that requires a change to nix-channel.

ARM SD card image expressions
2015-07-29 14:13:57 +02:00
Eelco Dolstra d166c854b6 Add option system.stateVersion
This option requests compatibility with older NixOS releases with
respect to stateful data, in cases where new releases have defaults
that might be incompatible with system state of existing NixOS
deployments. For instance, if we change the default version of
PostgreSQL, existing deployments will break if the new version can't
read databases created by the old version.

So for example, setting

  system.stateVersion = "15.07";

requests that options like services.postgresql.package use defaults
corresponding to the 15.07 release branch. Note that
nixos-generate-config emits this option. (In the future, NixOps may
set system.stateVersion to the NixOS release in use when the machine
was created.)

See also #7939 for another motivating example.

Tuomas Tynkkynen df86813d97 nixos: Add derivations for SD card installation images on ARM
The resulting image can be copied to a SD card with `dd` and is directly
bootable by a suitably configured U-Boot. Though depending on the board, some
extra steps are required for copying U-Boot itself to the SD card.

Inside the image is a partition table, with a FAT32 /boot and a normal
writable EXT4 rootfs. It's possible to directly reuse the SD image's
partition layout and "install" NixOS on the same SD card by replacing
the default configuration.nix and nixos-rebuild, and actually is the
preferred way to use these images. To assist in this installation
method, the boot scripts on the image automatically resize the rootfs
partition to fit the SD card on the first boot.

The SD images come in two flavors; one for the ARMv6 Raspberry Pi,
and one multiplatform image for all the boards supported by the
mainline kernel's multi_v7_defconfig config target. At the moment, these
have been tested on:
    - Raspberry Pi Model B (512MB model)
    - NVIDIA Jetson TK1
    - Linksprite pcDuino3 Nano

To build, run:

nix-build '<nixpkgs/nixos>' -A config.system.build.sdImage \
    -I nixos-config='<nixpkgs/nixos/modules/installer/cd-dvd/sd-image-armv7l-multiplatform.nix>'

Passing the chroot flag to nixos-install without arguments should now give you a

This was masked by the user's shell (usually /bin/bash) being defaulted to by
chroot, and being found since their paths used NixOS conventions.

When bootstrapping from other distributions, nixos-install is unable to find

This makes a small change to existing code by specifying nixpkgs/nixos instead
of just nixos when running nix-instantiate in the chroot. I haven't tested this
outside of bootstrapping, but the same specification is used elsewhere in the
code so I don't see why it wouldn't work.

nixos-rebuild: Conditionally update channels.
This partially reverts commit 3a4fd0bfc6.

Addresses another concern by @edolstra that users might not want to
update *all* channels. We're now reverting to the old behaviour but
after updating the "nixos" channel, we just check whether the channel
ships with a file called ".update-on-nixos-rebuild" and if it exists, we
update that channel as well.

Other channels than these are not touched anymore.

nixos-rebuild: Update all channels of user root.
Should make it even easier to use custom channels, because whenever the
user does a "nixos-rebuild --upgrade", it will also upgrade possibly
used ("used" as in referenced in configuration.nix) channels besides
"nixos". And if you also ship a channel tied to a particular version of
nixpkgs or even remove the "nixos" channels, you won't run into
unexpected situations where the system is not updating your custom
channels.
