Turns out, #75510 was too restrictive.
We also need to allow str here, as some modules set this to
"/run/wrappers" to bring `/run/wrappers/bin` into $PATH of a unit.
Upstream has this alias too; so that dbus activation works.
What I don't fully understand is why this would ever be useful given
this unit is already started way in early boot; even before dbus is up.
But lets just keep behaviour similar to upstream and then ask these
questions to upstream.
With this systemd buffers netlink messages in early boot from the kernel
itself; and passes them on to networkd for processing once it's started.
Makes sure no routing messages are missed.
Also makes an alias so that dbus can activate this unit. Upstream has
this too.
This will make dbus socket activation for it work
When `systemd-resolved` is restarted; this would lead to unavailability
of DNS lookups. You're supposed to use DBUS socket activation to buffer
resolved requests; such that restarts happen without downtime
The way this ends up being called with the raspberry pi 4 image builder
ends up not using the `-e` from the shebang.
In turn, the builds fails during cross-compilation. The wrong coreutils
ends up being used, but this is not made apparent.
The issue I faced is already fixed on master, but this ensures no one
ends up with a failed build "succeeding".
Also, remove the dangling systemd.services.systemd-binfmt.wants = [
"proc-sys-fs-binfmt_misc.mount" ]; in systemd.nix.
If boot.binfmt.registrations != {}, systemd will install
proc-sys-fs-binfmt_misc.automount, which will auto-mount
`/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc` as soon as systemd-binfmt tries to access it.

A disabled nscd breaks nss module loading on NixOS, and systemd without
its nss modules doesn't really work either - instead of silently
disabling its nss modules if nscd is disabled, let the assertion in
nsswitch handle this.
nixos/modules/config/nsswitch.nix uses `passwdArray` for both `passwd`
and `group`, but when moving this into the systemd module in
c0995d22ee, it didn't get split
appropriately.

This reverts commit 764c8203b8.
While this is desireable in principle, some of our modules and services
fail during service startup if no network is available don't currently
properly set Wants=network-online.target.
If nothing pulls in this target anymore, systemd won't try to reach it.
We have many VM tests waiting for `network-online.target`, and after
764c8203b8 fail with the following error
message:
```
error: unit "network-online.target" is inactive and there are no pending jobs
```
Most likely, test scripts shouldn't wait for `network-online.target` in
first place (as `network-online.target` says nothing about whether a
service has been started), but instead, the script should wait for the
network ports of the corresponding service to be open.
Let's revert this for now, and re-apply in a draft PR, fixing the tests
before merging it back in.
This follows upstreams change in documentation. While the `[DHCP]`
section might still work it is undocumented and we should probably not
be using it anymore. Users can just upgrade to the new option without
much hassle.
I had to create a bit of custom module deprecation code since the usual
approach doesn't support wildcards in the path.
You can now specify option for the `[DHCPv6]` section with
`systemd.network.<name>.dhcpV6Config.…`. Previously you could only use
the combined legacy DHCP configuration.
Systemd upstream has deprecated CriticalConnection with v244 in favor of
KeepConnection as that seems to be more flexible:
The CriticalConnection= setting in .network files is now deprecated,
and replaced by a new KeepConfiguration= setting which allows more
detailed configuration of the IP configuration to keep in place.
Not all systems need to be online to boot up. So, don’t pull
network-online.target into multi-user.target. Services that need
online network can still require it.
This increases my boot time from ~9s to ~5s.
1d61efb7f1 accidentially changed the
restartTriggers of systemd-networkd.service` to point to the attribute
name (in this case, a location relative to `/etc`), instead of the
location of the network-related unit files in the nix store.
This caused systemd-networkd to not get restarted on activation of new
networking config, if the file name hasn't changed.
Fix this, by pointing this back to the location in the nix store.
Add a distinctive `unit-script` prefix to systemd unit scripts to make
them easier to find in the store directory. Do not add this prefix to
actual script file name as it clutters logs.
Current journal output from services started by `script` rather than
`ExexStart` is unreadable because the name of the file (which journalctl
records and outputs) quite literally takes 1/3 of the screen (on smaller
screens).
Make it shorter. In particular:
* Drop the `unit-script` prefix as it is not very useful.
* Use `writeShellScriptBin` to write them because:
* It has a `checkPhase` which is better than no checkPhase.
* The script itself ends up having a short name.
systemd-tmpfiles will load all files in lexicographic order and ignores rules
for the same path in later files with a warning Since we apply the default rules
provided by systemd, we should load user-defines rules first so users have a
chance to override defaults.
Commit 1d2c3279311e4f03fcf164e1366f2fda9f4bfccf in the upstream kernel
repository removed support for the scalar x86_64 and i586 AES
assembly implementations, since the generic AES implementation generated
by the compiler is faster for both platforms. Remove the modules from
the cryptoModules list. This causes a regression for kernel versions
>=5.4 which include the removal. This should have no negative impact on
AES performance on older kernels since the generic implementation should
be faster there as well since the implementation was hardly touched from
its initial submission.
Fixes #84842
In contrast to `.service`-units, it's not possible to declare an
`overrides.conf`, however this is done by `generateUnits` for `.nspawn`
units as well. This change breaks the build if you have two derivations
configuring one nspawn unit.
This will happen in a case like this:
``` nix
{ pkgs, ... }: {
systemd.packages = [
(pkgs.writeTextDir "etc/systemd/nspawn/container0.nspawn" ''
[Files]
Bind=/tmp
'')
];
systemd.nspawn.container0 = {
/* ... */
};
}
```
This option allows replacing the tmpfs mounted on / by
the live CD's init script with a physical device
Since nixOS symlinks everything there's no trouble
at all.
That enables the user to easily use a nixOS live CD
as a portable installation.
Note that due to some limitations in how the store is mounted
currently only the non-store things are persisted.
Dropbear lags behind OpenSSH significantly in both support for modern
key formats like `ssh-ed25519`, let alone the recently-introduced
U2F/FIDO2-based `sk-ssh-ed25519@openssh.com` (as I found when I switched
my `authorizedKeys` over to it and promptly locked myself out of my
server's initrd SSH, breaking reboots), as well as security features
like multiprocess isolation. Using the same SSH daemon for stage-1 and
the main system ensures key formats will always remain compatible, as
well as more conveniently allowing the sharing of configuration and
host keys.
The main reason to use Dropbear over OpenSSH would be initrd space
concerns, but NixOS initrds are already large (17 MiB currently on my
server), and the size difference between the two isn't huge (the test's
initrd goes from 9.7 MiB to 12 MiB with this change). If the size is
still a problem, then it would be easy to shrink sshd down to a few
hundred kilobytes by using an initrd-specific build that uses musl and
disables things like Kerberos support.
This passes the test and works on my server, but more rigorous testing
and review from people who use initrd SSH would be appreciated!
`$toplevel/system` of a system closure with `x86_64` kernel and `i686` userland should contain "x86_64-linux".
If `$toplevel/system` contains "i686-linux", the closure will be run using `qemu-system-i386`, which is able to run `x86_64` kernel on most Intel CPU, but fails on AMD.
So this fix is for a rare case of `x86_64` kernel + `i686` userland + AMD CPU
This mirrors the behaviour of systemd - It's udev that parses `.link`
files, not `systemd-networkd`.
This was originally applied in 36ef112a47,

I'm sorry; Hydra has been unable to evaluate, always returning

This is to facilitate units that should _only_ be manually started and
not activated when a configuration is switched to.
More specifically this is to be used by the new Nixops deploy-*
targets created in https://github.com/NixOS/nixops/pull/1245 that are
triggered by Nixops before/after switch-to-configuration is called.
This avoids a possible surprise if the user is using `nixpkgs.system`
and `nesting.children`. `nesting.children` is expected to ignore all
parent configuration so we shouldn't propagate the user-facing option
`nixpkgs.system`. To avoid doing so, we introduce a new internal
option for holding the value passed to eval-config.nix, and use that
when recursing for nesting.
The current behavior lets `system` default to
`builtins.currentSystem`. The system value specified to
`eval-config.nix` has very low precedence, so this should compose
properly.
Fixes #80806
Depending on the network management backend being used, if the interface
configuration in stage 1 is not cleared, there might still be some old
addresses or routes from stage 1 present in stage 2 after network
configuration has finished.
This makes predictable interfaces names available as soon as possible
with udev by adding the default network link units to initrd which are read
by udev. Also adds some udev rules that are needed but which would normally
loaded from the udev store path which is not included in the initrd.
In 87a19e9048 I merged staging-next into master using the GitHub gui as intended.
In ac241fb7a5 I merged master into staging-next for the next staging cycle, however, I accidentally pushed it to master.
Thinking this may cause trouble, I reverted it in 0be87c7979. This was however wrong, as it "removed" master.
This reverts commit 0be87c7979.
I merged master into staging-next but accidentally pushed it to master.

Memtest86+ doesn't support EFI, so unfree Memtest86 is used when EFI
support is enabled (systemd-boot currently also uses Memtest86 when
memtest is enabled).
