Move Subsonic state directory from `/var/subsonic` to
`/var/lib/subsonic`, since the general convention is for each
application to put its state directory there.
Also, automatically set the home directory of the `subsonic` user to the
value of `config.services.subsonic.home`, rather than setting it to a
value hardcoded in the module. This keeps the home directory of the
`subsonic` user and the state directory for the Subsonic application in
sync.
With the merge of the closure-size branch, most packages now have
multiple outputs. One of these packages is gnutls, so previously
everything that we needed was to reference "${gnutls}/bin/..." and now
we need to use "${gnutls.bin}/bin/...".
So it's not a very big issue to fix.

This adds a Taskserver module along with documentation and a small
helper tool which eases managing a custom CA along with Taskserver
organisations, users and groups.
Taskserver is the server component of Taskwarrior, a TODO list
application for the command line.
The work has been started by @matthiasbeyer back in mid 2015 and I have
continued to work on it recently, so this merge contains commits from
both of us.
Thanks particularly to @nbp and @matthiasbeyer for reviewing and
suggesting improvements.
I've tested this with the new test (nixos/tests/taskserver.nix) this
branch adds and it fails because of the changes introduced by the
closure-size branch, so we need to do additional work on base of this.
Suggested by @nbp:
"Choose a better organization name in this example, such that it is less
confusing. Maybe something like my-company"

We want to make sure that the helper tool won't work if the automatic CA

something during CA setup has failed so the user can investigate what
went wrong.

We need to explicitly make sure the CA is created before we actually

This is simply to add configuration lines to the generated configuration
file. The reason why I didn't went for an attribute set is that the
taskdrc file format doesn't map very well on Nix attributes, for example
the following can be set in taskdrc:
server = somestring
server.key = anotherstring
In order to use a Nix attribute set for that, it would be way too
complicated, for example if we want to represent the mentioned example
we'd have to do something like this:
{ server._top = somestring;
server.key = anotherstring;
}
Of course, this would work as well but nothing is more simple than just
appending raw strings.
Signed-off-by: aszlig <aszlig@redmoonstudios.org>
At least this should allow for some customisation of how the
certificates and keys are created. We now have two sub-namespaces within
PKI so it should be more clear which options you have to set if you want
to either manage your own CA or let the module create it automatically.

Whenever the nixos-taskserver tool was invoked manually for creating an
organisation/group/user we now add an empty file called .imperative to
the data directory.
During the preStart of the Taskserver service, we use process-json which
in turn now checks whether those .imperative files exist and if so, it
doesn't do anything with it.
This should now ensure that whenever there is a manually created user,
it doesn't get killed off by the declarative configuration in case it
shouldn't exist within that configuration.
In addition, we also add a small subtest to check whether this is
happening or not and fail if the imperatively created user got deleted
by process-json.
Signed-off-by: aszlig <aszlig@redmoonstudios.org>
We only print the output whenever there is an error, otherwise let's
shut it up because it only shows information the user can gather through
other means. For example by invoking certtool manually, or by just
looking at private key files (the whole blurb it's outputting is in
there as well).

Now we finally can delete organisations, groups and users along with
certificate revocation. The new subtests now make sure that the client
certificate is also revoked (both when removing the whole organisation
and just a single user).
If we use the imperative way to add and delete users, we have to restart
the Taskserver in order for the CRL to be effective.
However, by using the declarative configuration we now get this for
free, because removing a user will also restart the service and thus its
client certificate will end up in the CRL.
Signed-off-by: aszlig <aszlig@redmoonstudios.org>
Unfortunately we don't have a better way to check whether the reload has
been done successfully, but at least we now *can* reload it without
figuring out the exact signal to send to the process.
Note that on reload, Taskserver will not reload the CRL file. For that
to work, a full restart needs to be done.
Signed-off-by: aszlig <aszlig@redmoonstudios.org>
If we want to revoke client certificates and want the server to actually
notice the revocation, we need to have a valid certificate revocation
list.
Right now the expiration_days is set to 10 years, but that's merely to
actually get certtool to actually generate the CRL without trying to
prompt for user input.

It doesn't do much harm to make the server certificate world readable,

We now no longer have the stupid --service-helper option, which silences
messages about already existing organisations, users or groups.
Instead of that option, we now have a new subcommand called
"process-json", which accepts a JSON file directly from the specified
NixOS module options and creates/deletes the users accordingly.
Note that this still has a two issues left to solve in this area:
* Deletion is not supported yet.
* If a user is created imperatively, the next run of process-json will
delete it once deletion is supported.
So we need to implement deletion and a way to mark organisations, users
and groups as "imperatively managed".

The Click functions really are for the command line and should be solely
used for that.
What I have in mind is that instead of that crappy --service-helper
argument, we should really have a new subcommand that is expecting JSON
which is directly coming from the services.taskserver.organisations
module option.
That way we can decrease even more boilerplate and we can also ensure
that organisations, users and groups get properly deleted if they're
removed from the NixOS configuration.

It's not necessarily related to the PKI options, because this is also
used for setting the server address on the Taskwarrior client.
So if someone doesn't have his/her own certificates from another CA, all

want to bother with getting certificates from another CA, (s)he just
doesn't set anything in .pki.

In the comments of the pull request @nbp wrote:
"Why is it implemented in 3 different languages: Nix, Bash and C?"
And he's right, it doesn't make sense, because we were using C as a

boilerplates.
Writing this in Python gets rid of all of this and we also don't need
the boilerplate as well, because we're using Click to handle all the
command line stuff.

Referring to the GnuTLS documentation isn't very nice if the user has to
use a search engine to find that documentation. So let's directly link
to it.
The type was "str" before, but it's actually a colon-separated string,

Finally, this is where we declaratively set up our organisations and
users/groups, which looks like this in the system configuration:
services.taskserver.organisations.NixOS.users = [ "alice" "bob" ];
This automatically sets up "alice" and "bob" for the "NixOS"
organisation, generates the required client keys and signs it via the
CA.
However, we still need to use nixos-taskdctl export-user in order to
import these certificates on the client.
Signed-off-by: aszlig <aszlig@redmoonstudios.org>
It's a helper for NixOS systems to make it easier to handle CA
certificate signing, similar to what taskd provides but comes preseeded
with the values from the system configuration.
The tool is very limited at the moment and only allows to *add*
organisations, users and groups. Deletion and suspension however is much
simpler to implement, because we don't need to handle certificate
signing.
Another limitation is that we don't take into account whether
certificates and keys are already set in the system configuration and if
they're set it will fail spectacularly.
For passing the commands to the taskd command, we're using a small C
program which does setuid() and setgid() to the Taskserver user and
group, because runuser(1) needs PAM (quite pointless if you're already
root) and su(1) doesn't allow for setting the group and setgid()s to the
default group of the user, so it even doesn't work in conjunction with
sg(1).
In summary, we now have a shiny nixos-taskdctl command, which lets us do
things like:
nixos-taskdctl add-org NixOS
nixos-taskdctl add-user NixOS alice
nixos-taskdctl export-user NixOS alice
The last command writes a series of shell commands to stdout, which then
can be imported on the client by piping it into a shell as well as doing
it for example via SSH:
ssh root@server nixos-taskdctl export-user NixOS alice | sh
Of course, in terms of security we need to improve this even further so
that we generate the private key on the client and just send a CSR to
the server so that we don't need to push any secrets over the wire.

Using just the host for the common name *and* for listening on the port

The server starts up without that option anyway, but it complains about

well.

Now the service starts up if only the services.taskserver.enable option
is set to true.
We now also have three systemd services (started in this order):
* taskserver-init: For creating the necessary data directory and also
includes a refecence to the configuration file in
the Nix store.
* taskserver-ca: Only enabled if none of the server.key, server.cert,
server.crl and caCert options are set, so we can
allow for certificates that are issued by another
CA.
This service creates a new CA key+certificate and a
server key+certificate and signs the latter using
the CA key.
The permissions of these keys/certs are set quite
strictly to allow only the root user to sign
certificates.
* taskserver: The main Taskserver service which just starts taskd.
We now also log to stdout and thus to the journal.
Of course, there are still a few problems left to solve, for instance:
* The CA currently only signs the server certificates, so it's
only usable for clients if the server doesn't validate client certs
(which is kinda pointless).
* Using "taskd <command>" is currently still a bit awkward to use, so
we need to properly wrap it in environment.systemPackages to set the
dataDir by default.
* There are still a few configuration options left to include, for
example the "trust" option.
* We might want to introduce an extraConfig option.
* It might be useful to allow for declarative configuration of
organisations and users, especially when it comes to creating client
certificates.
* The right signal has to be sent for the taskserver service to reload
properly.
* Currently the CA and server certificates are created using
server.host as the common name and doesn't set additional certificate
information. This could be improved by adding options that explicitly
set that information.
As for the config file, we might need to patch taskd to allow for
setting not only --data but also a --cfgfile, which then omits the
${dataDir}/config file. We can still use the "include" directive from
the file specified using --cfgfile in order to chainload
${dataDir}/config.

The descriptions for the options previously seem to be from the
taskdrc(5) manual page. So in cases where they didn't make sense for us
I changed the wording a bit (for example for client.deny we don't have a
"comma-separated list".
Also, I've reordered things a bit for consistency (type, default,
example and then description) and add missing types, examples and
docbook tags.
Options that are not used by default now have a null value, so that we
can generate a configuration file out of all the options defined for the
module.
The dataDir default value is now /var/lib/taskserver, because it doesn't
make sense to put just yet another empty subdirectory in it and "data"
doesn't quite make sense anyway, because it also contains the
configuration file as well.

Updates gitlab to the current stable version and fixes a lot of features that
were broken, at least with the current version and our configuration.
Quite a lot of sweat and tears has gone into testing nearly all features and
reading/patching the Gitlab source as we're about to deploy gitlab for our
whole company.
Things to note:
* The gitlab config is now written as a nix attribute set and will be
converted to JSON. Gitlab uses YAML but JSON is a subset of YAML.
The `extraConfig` opition is also an attribute set that will be merged
with the default config. This way *all* Gitlab options are supported.
* Some paths like uploads and configs are hardcoded in rails (at least
after my study of the Gitlab source). This is why they are linked from
the Gitlab root to /run/gitlab and then linked to the configurable
`statePath`.
* Backup & restore should work out of the box from another Gitlab instance.
* gitlab-git-http-server has been replaced by gitlab-workhorse upstream.
Push & pull over HTTPS works perfectly. Communication to gitlab is done
over unix sockets. An HTTP server is required to proxy requests to
gitlab-workhorse over another unix socket at
`/run/gitlab/gitlab-workhorse.socket`.
* The user & group running gitlab are now configurable. These can even be
changed for live instances.
* The initial email address & password of the root user can be configured.
Fixes#8598.

As before, defaults created by `mkDefault` aren't displayed,

Configuring multiple bepasty servers provides a way to serve pastes externally

nginx can be used to provide access via hostname + listen address.

secretKey = "another-secret";

};
};
The most complex problems were from dealing with switches reverted in
the meantime (gcc5, gmp6, ncurses6).
It's likely that darwin is (still) broken nontrivially.
Also related to NixOS/nixops#350, because while switching to the new
configuration, depending on /nix/store also propagates to the mount
points for /nix/.ro-store and /nix/.rw-store and we don't get an error
while trying to unmount them (because nix-daemon needs to be stopped for
unmounting these paths).
While Nix does have the option to set a different store path, I've found
only hardcoded references in nix-daemon.nix, so I'm using a hardcoded
reference here as well, because after all customizing the store path
will probably only make sense on non-NixOS systems.

Added support for managing Plex plugins via Nix. This is done via an
"extraPlugins" configuration option which takes a list of paths to
plugin bundles, which are then symlinked into Plex's plugin directory
when the service is started.
This allows for module arguments to be handled modularly, in particular
allowing the nixpkgs module to handle the nixpkgs import internally.
This creates the __internal option namespace, which should only be added
to by the module system itself.

It turns out that installing therubytracer, with dependency on old v8, even
when using source libv8 version is problematic.
(see

fine.

* Log unicorn output to syslog.

- add the networking.proxy option
- open a default no_proxy environment variable
- add a rsync option
- Manual tests ok.
- Automatic tests ok.
Amended by lethalman to simplify the option descriptions.
This led to the container test failing, which made no sense
whatsoever, until I realized nix-daemon.socket creates the socket
directory as a side effect, which systemd-nspawn then bind-mounts.

If you define a unit, and either systemd or a package in
systemd.packages already provides that unit, then we now generate a
file /etc/systemd/system/<unit>.d/overrides.conf. This makes it
possible to use upstream units, while allowing them to be customised
from the NixOS configuration. For instance, the module nix-daemon.nix
now uses the units provided by the Nix package. And all unit
definitions that duplicated upstream systemd units are finally gone.
This makes the baseUnit option unnecessary, so I've removed it.
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 reverts commit b792394119.
Starting the manual on tty8 was intended as a convenience during
installation, not as a general purpose thing. In fact, given that w3m
runs as root, this is highly insecure!
This has the nice side-effect of making gpsd actually run!
Old behaviour (debugLevel=2):
systemd[1]: gpsd.service holdoff time over, scheduling restart.
systemd[1]: Stopping GPSD daemon...
systemd[1]: Starting GPSD daemon...
systemd[1]: gpsd.service start request repeated too quickly, refusing to start.
systemd[1]: Failed to start GPSD daemon.
systemd[1]: Unit gpsd.service entered failed state.
New behaviour (debugLevel=2):
gpsd[945]: gpsd: launching (Version 2.95)
systemd[1]: Started GPSD daemon.
gpsd[945]: gpsd: listening on port 2947
gpsd[945]: gpsd: running with effective group ID 27
gpsd[945]: gpsd: running with effective user ID 23
gpsd[945]: gpsd: stashing device /dev/ttyUSB0 at slot 0
Previously changing the value of certain options in configuration.nix
would cause the manual to be regenerated, because some option defaults
depend on the configuration. This is undesirable because rebuilding
the manual is kind of slow. So now the manual reflects an empty
configuration.
The downside is that this requires another call to fixMergeModules,
which adds about 14% to evaluation time. Probably worth it.
Suggested by Marc Weber. Fixes#1059.
Generate /etc/nix.machines only if buildMachines is not empty. Thus,
if you want to manage /etc/nix.machines in some other way, you can set
nix.distributedBuilds to true but not set nix.buildMachines.
