- adds distro dependency
- buildbot nodaemon in service module
- fakerepo for module tests
- service module parameter fixup
- tested on nixos
- tested on darwin
1) The forking behavior of `buildbot start` is temporarily broken for
mysterious reasons that I'm still looking into
2) Let systemd do the forking: no point in using two different process
startup wait loops
The nixbld group belongs to nix-daemon and you really don't want to be
in it. If you are in it, nix-daemon will kill your processes when you
least expect it :)
The extraOptions option has default values which seems surprising. This
moves those values to startupOptions (which is what gocd-agent uses) and
empties out the default extraOptions.
The gocd-agent startupOptions description was also changed to remove the
mention of the example (given there isn't one).
- Agent now takes a full URL to the Go.CD server
- Instruct the agent to attempt restart every 30s upon failure
- Test's Accept header did not match the server's expectation
- Replace the tests' complex Awk matches with calls to `jq`
Update gocd-agent package version to 16.6.0-3590 including new sha. Modify heapSize
and maxMemory mkOption to accurately reflect their intended purpose of configuring
initial java heap sizes.
Update gocd-server package version to 16.6.0-3590 including new sha. Modify heapSize
and maxMemory mkOption to accurately reflect their intended purpose of configuring
initial java heap sizes.
GoCD is an open source continuous delivery server specializing in advanced workflow
modeling and visualization. Update maintainers list to include swarren83. Update
module list to include gocd agent and server module. Update packages list to include
gocd agent and server package. Update version, revision and checksum for GoCD
release 16.5.0.
As pointed out by @danbst, the tomcat NixOS module expects packages
listed in services.tomcat.webapps to either be direct .war file paths or
have .war files inside a "webapps" directory.
Commit 4075c10a59
("jenkins: move .war file from $out to $out/lib/jenkins.war") broke
jenkins + tomcat. Fix it by moving jenkins.war to $out/webapps/.
Fixes #14137, also known as:
$ nix-shell -p jenkins
bash: source: /nix/store/ln1yw6c2v8bb2cjqfr1z5aqcssw054wa-jenkins-2.3:
cannot execute binary file
[nix-shell exited with error]
The problem is that jenkins.war is not installed inside the directory
$out, but rather _as the file_ $out. Fix it by moving the file to
$out/lib/jenkins.war.
While at it, move buildCommand so that the "meta" section is at the end
of the expression (standard style), and quote shell variables.
This was originally removed in d4d0e449d7.
The intent was not to maintain hydra expression at two places.
Nowadays we have enough devs to maintain this despite copy/pasta.
This should encourage more people to use Hydra, which is a really
great piece of software together with Nix.
Tested a deploy using https://github.com/peti/hydra-tutorial
* Perform HTTP HEAD request instead of full GET (lighter weight)
* Don't log output of curl to the journal (it's noise/debug)
* Use explicit http:// URL scheme
* Reduce poll interval from 10s to 2s (respond to state changes
quicker). Probably not relevant on boot (lots of services compete for
the CPU), but online service restarts/reloads should be quicker.
* Pass --fail to curl (should be more robust against false positives)
* Use 4 space indent for shell code.
The current postStart code holds Jenkins off the "started" state until
Jenkins becomes idle. But it should be enough to wait until Jenkins
start handling HTTP requests to consider it "started".
More reasons why the current approach is bad and we should remove it,
from @coreyoconnor in
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/14991#issuecomment-216572571:
1. Repeatedly curling for a specific human-readable string to
determine "Active" is fragile. For instance, what happens when jenkins
is localized?
2. The time jenkins takes to initializes is variable. This (at least
used to) depend on the number of jobs and any plugin upgrades requested.
3. Jenkins can be requested to restart from the UI. Which will not
affect the status of the service. This means that the service being
"active" does not imply jenkins is initialized. Downstream services
cannot assume jenkins is initialized if the service is active. Might
as well accept that and remove the initialized test from service
startup.
Fixes #14991.
- add missing types in module definitions
- add missing 'defaultText' in module definitions
- wrap example with 'literalExample' where necessary in module definitions
I think the name 'listenAddress' is more descriptive. Other NixOS
modules that define 'host' either use it as listen address or as address
a client connects to. listenAddress is unambiguous.
The addition of 'host' was added earlier today[1], so not bothering with
./nixos/modules/rename.nix.
[1]: 44ea184997 ("jenkins ci enhancement: add port and prefix option")
As named these options enable to specify a bind host and url prefix
to be used by jenkins. Adding these options in the config rather than
using extra arguments allows us to re-use those information in other
services using jenkins such as jenkins-job-builder or a reverse proxy.
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.
This option allows to define (declarative) Jenkins jobs, using Jenkins
Job Builder (JJB) as backend.
Example:
services.jenkins = {
enable = true;
jobBuilder = {
enable = true;
yamlJobs = ''
- job:
name: jenkins-job-test
builders:
- shell: echo 'Hello world!'
'';
};
};
Jobs can be defined using YAML, JSON and Nix.
Note that it really is declarative configuration; if you remove a
previously defined job, the module will remove the jobdir under
$JENKINS_HOME.
Jobs managed through the Jenkins WebUI (or by other means) are not
touched by this module.
Changes v1 -> v2:
* add nixJobs
* let jsonJobs take a list of strings (allows merge)
* 4 space indent in shell code
Jenkins gets (by default) an additional environment of
{ NIX_REMOTE = "daemon"; }
This has the following problems:
1. NIX_REMOTE disappears when users specify additional environment
variables, because defaults have low merge priority.
2. nix cannot be used without additional NIX_PATH envvar, which is
currently missing.
3. If you try to use HTTPS, you'll see that jenkins lacks
SSL_CERT_FILE envvar, causing it to fail.
This commit adds config.environment.sessionVariables and NIX_REMOTE to
the set of variables that are always there for jenkins, making nix and
HTTPS work out of the box.
services.jenkins.environment is now empty by default.
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.
Uses standard NixOS user config merging.
Work in progress: The slave config does not actually start the slave agent. This just configures a
jenkins user if required. Bare minimum to enable a nice jenkins SSH slave.
By default the jenkins server is executed under the user "jenkins". Which can be configured using
users.jenkins.* options. If a different user is requested by changing services.jenkins.user then
none of the users.jenkins options apply.
This patch does not include jenkins slave configuration. Some config options will probably change
when this is implemented.
Aspects like the user and environment are typically identical between slave and master. The service
configs are different. The design is for users.jenkins to cover the shared aspects while
services.jenkins and services.jenkins-slave cover the master and slave specific aspects,
respectively.
Another option would be to place everything under services.jenkins and have a config that selects
master vs slave.
