Set `networking.networkmanager.wifi.macAddress` or `networking.networkmanager.ethernet.macAddress`
to one of these values to change your macAddress.
* "XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX": set the MAC address of the interface.
* "permanent": use the permanent MAC address of the device.
* "preserve": don’t change the MAC address of the device upon activation.
* "random": generate a randomized value upon each connect.
* "stable": generate a stable, hashed MAC address.

Version 2.0.0 is installed as a separate package called "couchdb2".
When setting the config option "package" attribute to pkgs.couchdb2, a
corresponding service configuration will be generated. If a previous
1.6 installation exists, the databases can still be found on the local
port (default: 5986) and can be replicated from there.
Note that single-node or cluster setup still needs to be configured
manually, as described in
http://docs.couchdb.org/en/2.0.0/install/index.html.
We only care about /nix/store because its contents might be out of
sync with /nix/var/nix/db. Syncing other filesystems might cause
unnecessary delays or hangs (e.g. I encountered a case where an NFS
mount was taking a very long time to sync).
This is based on a prototype Nicolas B. Pierron worked on during a
discussion we had at FOSDEM.
A new version with a workaround for problems of the reverted original.
Discussion: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/commit/3f2566689
The implicit behavior of pulling it out of the classpath seemed not
to work properly and could be thrown off by other things on the
classpath also providing the properties file. This guarantees that
our settings stick.
We now make it happen later in the boot process so that multi-user
has already activated, so as to not run afoul of the logic in
switch-to-configuration.pl. It's not my favorite solution, but at
least it works. Also added a check to the VM test to catch the failure
so we don't break in future.
Fixes #23121
phpfpm currently uses `readFile` to read the php.ini file from the
phpPackage. This causes php to be build at evaluation time.
This eliminates the use of readFile and builds the php.ini at build
time.
This reverts commit 29caa185a7.
Not clear what the proper thing to do is. cf94cdb59b renders this
question mostly moot. Reverting before 17.03 branch to avoid a repeat
of #19054.
reason:
- We currently have an open discussion regarding a more modular
firewall (https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/23181) and
leaving null makes future extension easier.
- the current default might not cover all use cases (different ssh port)
and might break setups, if applied blindly
This PR adds support for ```iio-sensor-proxy``` used by GNOME v3 and
others for reading data from the accelerometer, gps, compass and similar sensors
built into some relatively recent laptops.
Additionally, there is a NixOS module exposed via hardware.sensor.iio
for enabling services, udev rules and dbus services.
If a package's meta has `knownVulnerabilities`, like so:
stdenv.mkDerivation {
name = "foobar-1.2.3";
...
meta.knownVulnerabilities = [
"CVE-0000-00000: remote code execution"
"CVE-0000-00001: local privilege escalation"
];
}
and a user attempts to install the package, they will be greeted with
a warning indicating that maybe they don't want to install it:
error: Package ‘foobar-1.2.3’ in ‘...default.nix:20’ is marked as insecure, refusing to evaluate.
Known issues:
- CVE-0000-00000: remote code execution
- CVE-0000-00001: local privilege escalation
You can install it anyway by whitelisting this package, using the
following methods:
a) for `nixos-rebuild` you can add ‘foobar-1.2.3’ to
`nixpkgs.config.permittedInsecurePackages` in the configuration.nix,
like so:
{
nixpkgs.config.permittedInsecurePackages = [
"foobar-1.2.3"
];
}
b) For `nix-env`, `nix-build`, `nix-shell` or any other Nix command you can add
‘foobar-1.2.3’ to `permittedInsecurePackages` in
~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix, like so:
{
permittedInsecurePackages = [
"foobar-1.2.3"
];
}
Adding either of these configurations will permit this specific
version to be installed. A third option also exists:
NIXPKGS_ALLOW_INSECURE=1 nix-build ...
though I specifically avoided having a global file-based toggle to
disable this check. This way, users don't disable it once in order to
get a single package, and then don't realize future packages are
insecure.
When dhcpcd instead of networkd is used, the network-online.target behaved
the same as network.target, resulting in broken services that need a working
network connectivity when being started.
This commit makes dhcpcd wait for a lease and makes it wanted by
network-online.target. In turn, network-online.target is now wanted by
multi-user.target, so it will be activated at every boot.
This makes make-disk-image.nix slightly more consistent with other image
builders we have. Unfortunately I duplicated some code in doing so, but
this is temporary duplication on the path to consolidating everything.
See https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/23052 for more details on that.
I'm also exposing the option in the amazon-image.nix maintainer module.
Using toJSON on a string value works because the allowed JSON escape
sequences is almost a subset of the systemd allowed escape sequences.
The only exception is `\/` which JSON allows but systemd doesn't.
Luckily this sequence isn't required and toJSON don't produce it making
the result valid for systemd consumption.
Examples of things that this fixes are environment variables with double
quotes or newlines.
Since systemd version 232 the install subcommand of bootctl opens the
loader.conf with fopen() modes "wxe", where the "e" stands for
exclusive, so the call will fail if the file exists.
For installing the boot loader just once this is fine, but if we're
using NIXOS_INSTALL_BOOTLOADER on a systemd where the bootloader is
already present this will fail.
Exactly this is done within the simpleUefiGummiboot installer test,
where nixos-install is called twice and thus the bootloader is also
installed twice, resulting in an error during the fopen call:
Failed to open loader.conf for writing: File exists
Removing the file prior to calling bootctl should fix this.
I've tested this using the installer.simpleUefiGummiboot test and it now
succeeds.

This leads to the following error when trying to install a new machine
where the machine ID wasn't yet initialized during boot:
Failed to get machine did: No such file or directory
In addition this was also detected by the simpleUefiGummiboot installer
test.
So let's generate a fallback machine ID by using
systemd-machine-id-setup before actually running bootctl.
Tested this by running the installer.simpleUefiGummiboot test, it still
fails but not because of the machine ID.

This is deliberate because using the taskd binary to configure
Taskserver has a good chance of messing up permissions.
The nixos-taskserver tool now can manage even manual configurations, so
there really is no need anymore to expose the taskd binary.
If people still want to use the taskd binary at their own risk they can
still add taskserver to systemPackages themselves.

This subtest actually serves two purposes:
1. Test manual PKI configuration
2. Test changing of configuration files
In order to only test manual PKI configuration it would have been enough
to just add another server with a manual config.
But as the switch from automatic PKI config to manual config is probably
one of the most fundamental changes in configuration, so it serves
*very* well to also check whether changes in the NixOS configuration
actually have an impact in the real system.
So instead of adding another server, we now create a dummy "newServer"
machine, which is the new configuration for "server" and use
switch-to-configuration to switch "server" to the config of "newServer".

Putting an include directive in the configuration file referencing a
store path with the real configuration file has the disavantage that
once we change the real configuration file the store path is also a
different one.
So we would have to replace that include directive with the new
configuration file, which is very much error-prone, because whenever
taskd modifies the configuration file on its own it generates a new one
with *only* the key/value options and without any include directives.
Another problem is that we only added the include directive on the first
initalization, so whenever there is *any* configuration change, it won't
affect anything.
We're now passing all the configuration options via command line,
because taskd treats everything in the form of --<name>=<value> to be a
configuration directive.
This also has the effect that we now no longer have extraConfig, because
configuration isn't a file anymore.
Instead we now have an attribute set that is mapped down to
configuration options.
Unfortunately this isn't so easy with the way taskd is configured,
because there is an option called "server" and also other options like
"server.cert", "server.key" and so on, which do not map very well to
attribute sets.
So we have an exception for the "server" option, which is now called
"server.listen", because it specifies the listening address.

The helper tool so far was only intended for use in automatic PKI
handling, but it also is very useful if you have an existing CA.
One of the main advantages is that you don't need to specify the data
directory anymore and the right permissions are also handled as well.
Another advantage is that we now have an uniform management tool for
both automatic and manual config, so the documentation in the NixOS
manual now applies to the manual PKI config as well.

The error message displays that a specific user doesn't exist in an
organisation, but uses the User object's name attribute to show which
user it was.
This is basically a very stupid chicken and egg problem and easily fixed
by using the user name provided on the command line.

reason: after the upgrade of iputils from 20151218 to 20161105
functionality of ping6 and tracepath6 was merged into ping and tracepath.
Ping is now mostly a drop-in replacment for ping6, except that selecting a
specific interface is done by encoding it into the address (ex.: fe80::1%eth0)
rather then specifing it with the `-I` flag.
To be able to use Wireshark as an ordinary user, the 'dumpcap' program
must be installed setuid root. This module module simplifies such a
configuration to simply:
programs.wireshark.enable = true;
The setuid wrapper is available for users in the 'wireshark' group.
Changes v1 -> v2:
- add "defaultText" to the programs.wireshark.package option (AFAIK,
that prevents the manual from being needlessly rebuilt when the
package changes)
Since the bonds interface changed to a lot more possible values we create a
mapping of kernel bond attribute names and values to networkd attributes.
Those match for the most part, but have to transformed slightly.
There is also an assert that unknown options won’t slip through silently.
Until now the four attributes available very selectively provided a small
subset, while copying upstream documentation.
We make driver options an arbitrary key-value set and point to kernel
documentation, which is always up-to-date. This way every option can be set.
The four already existing options are deprecated with a warning.
The initialization code is now a systemd service that explicitly
waits for network-online, so the occasional failure I was seeing
because the `nixos-rebuild` couldn't get anything from the binary
cache should stop. I hope!
* The source attribute is mandatory, not optional
* The program attribute is optional
* Move the info about the mandatory attribute first (most important,
IMHO)
