Reusing the same private/public key on renewal has two issues:
- some providers don't accept to sign the same public key
again (Buypass Go SSL)
- keeping the same private key forever partly defeats the purpose of
renewing the certificate often
Therefore, let's remove this option. People wanting to keep the same
key can set extraLegoRenewFlags to `[ --reuse-key ]` to keep the
previous behavior. Alternatively, we could put this as an option whose
default value is true.
The root filesystem resizing step, `resize2fs -M', does not provide any
control over the amount of slack left in the result. It can produce an
arbitrarily tight fit, depending on how well the payload aligns with
ext4 data structures.
This is problematic, as NixOS must create a few files and directories
during its first boot, before the root is enlarged to match the size of
the containing SD card.
An overly tight fit can cause failures in the first stage:
mkdir: can't create directory '/mnt-root/proc': No space left on device
or in the second stage:
install: cannot create directory '/var': No space left on device
A previous version of `make-ext4-fs' (before PR #79368) was explicitly
"reserving" 16 MiB of free space in the final filesystem. Manually
calculating the size of an ext4 filesystem is a perilous endeavor,
however, and the method it employed was apparently unreliable.
Reverting is consequently not a good option.
A solution would be to create some sort of "balloon" occupying inodes
and blocks in the image prior to invoking `resize2fs -M', and to remove
these temporary files/directories before the compression step.
This changeset takes the simpler approach of simply dropping the
resizing step.
Note that this does *not* result in a larger image in general, as the
current procedure does not truncate the `.img' file anyway. In fact, it
has been observed to yield *smaller* compressed images---probably
because of some "noise" left after resizing. E.g., before-vs-after:
-r--r--r-- 2 root root 607M 1. Jan 1970 nixos-sd-image-21.11pre-git-x86_64-linux.img.zst
-r--r--r-- 2 root root 606M 1. Jan 1970 nixos-sd-image-21.11pre-git-x86_64-linux.img.zst
Previously this defaulted to the default MOTD in the solanum source
tree, and I don't want my friends to laugh at me. Includes a patch to
the tests to ensure that the MOTD is actually set.
This replicates the fix done in #109705 (solanum is a fork of charybdis,
so they share fundamental logic for this).

in your (hydra) build failure. Due to the absence of timestamps you were
left guessing if the machine was just slow, someone passed a low timeout

By making this error a bit more descriptive (by including the elapsed

iptables is currently defined in `all-packages.nix` to be
iptables-compat. That package does however not contain `ethertypes`.
Only `iptables-nftables-compat` contains this file so the symlink
dangles.
A secret key generated by the nixos module was misspelled, which could
possibly impact the security of session cookies.
To recover from this situation we will wipe all security keys that were
previously generated by the NixOS module, when the misspelled one is
found. This will result in all session cookies being invalidated. This
is confirmed by the wordpress documentation:
> You can change these at any point in time to invalidate all existing
> cookies. This does mean that all users will have to login again.
https://wordpress.org/support/article/editing-wp-config-php/#security-keys
Meanwhile this issue shouldn't be too grave, since the salting function
of wordpress will rely on the concatenation of both the user-provided
and automatically generated values, that are stored in the database.
> Secret keys are located in two places: in the database and in the
> wp-config.php file. The secret key in the database is randomly
> generated and will be appended to the secret keys in wp-config.php.

Thus the existence of the path unit made it impossible to stop the
wireguard service using e.g.
systemctl stop wireguard-wg0.service
Systemd path units are not intended for program inputs such
as private key files.
This commit simply removes this usage; the private key is still
generated by the `generateKeyServiceUnit`.

this adds support for software defined radio (SDR) devices by SDRplay.
SDRplay provides an unfree binary library and api-service as well
as a MIT licensed adapter library for SoapySDR for integration
with many popular SDR applications.
Since the update to wlroots 0.13 (e03dde82a7) the default VGA card
isn't supported anymore and we needed to switch to virtio (qxl didn't
work either). However, as it turned out "-vga virtio" (28b8cff301)
broke the test on AArch64. Luckily there's a third option that works on
all three supported platforms: virtio-gpu-pci
According to [0] "This device lacks VGA compatibility mode but is
otherwise identical to the virtio vga device. UEFI firmware can handle
this, and if your guests has drivers too you can use this instead of
virtio-vga. This will reduce the attack surface (no complex VGA
emulation support) and reduce the memory footprint by 8 MB (no pci
memory bar for VGA compatibility). This device can be placed in a PCI
Express slot."
So in the end this seems like the ideal choice :)

The tests timeout on AArch64 (e.g. [0] and [1]), likely because the QEMU
option "-vga virtio" isn't supported there (unfortunately I currently
lack access to an AArch64 system with NixOS to investigate).
This also affects the test for Cage but that one is already limited to
x86_64-linux.

Sway is a Wayland compositor. It should have a smaller userbase than
Gnome and KDE but Sway plays an important role in the Wayland ecosystem
(it is e.g. maintained by Simon Ser who also maintains wlroots, Wayland,
and Weston (the reference compositor) and contributes to a lot of
important packages in the Wayland ecosystem). Sway also comes with much
fewer dependencies than large desktop environments.
This should make the Sway VM test an ideal choice for testing updates to
core packages (e.g. wayland, wayland-protocols, wlroots, libdrm, mesa,
and xwayland - I maintain all but XWayland in Nixpkgs) and test failures
should be much easier to debug.
The test is fairly new but so far all 18 Hydra builds on x86_64-linux
have succeeded [0]. I'm actively maintaining the test and can look into
build failures if I'm pinged.

The absence of current-context in the right place resulted in obscure
bugs. The reason this has not been detected before can only be that
it was unused.
Adds includeStorePaths, allowing the omission of the store paths.
You generally want to leave it on, but tooling may disable this
to insert the store paths more efficiently via other means, such
as bind mounting the host store.
This should help in rare hardware-specific situations where the root is
not automatically detected properly.
We search using a marker file. This should help some weird UEFI setups
where the root is set to `(hd0,msdos2)` by default.
Defaulting to `(hd0)` by looking for the ESP **will break themeing**. It
is unclear why, but files in `(hd0,msdos2)` are not all present as they
should be.
This also fixes an issue introduced with cb5c4fcd3c
where rEFInd stopped booting in many cases. This is because it ended up
using (hd0) rather than using the `search` which was happening
beforehand, which in turn uses (hd0,msdos2), which is the ESP.
Putting back the `search` here fixes that.
This technically changes nothing. In practice `$root` is always the
"CWD", whether searched for automatically or not.
But this serves to announce we are relying on `$root`... I guess...
Enforce UMask on the systemd unit to restrict the permissions of files
created. Especially the homeserver signing key should not be world
readable, and media is served through synapse itself, so no other user
needs access to these files.
Use a prestart chmod to fixup the permissions on the signing key.
In newer versions of Nix (at least on 2.4pre20201102_550e11f) the
`extra-` prefix for config options received a special meaning and the
option `extra-sandbox-paths` isn't recognized anymore. This commit fixes
it.
It doesn't cause a behavior change when using older versions of Nix but
does cause an extra newline to appear in the config, thus changing the
hash.
Instead of requiring the user to bundle the certificate and private
key into a single file, provide separate options for them. This is
more in line with most other modules.
`install` copies the files before setting their mode, so there could
be a breif window where the secrets are readable by other users
without a strict umask.
Feeding `psql` the password on the command line leaks it through the
`psql` process' `/proc/<pid>/cmdline` file. Using `echo` to put the
command in a file and then feeding `psql` the file should work around
this, since `echo` is a bash builtin and thus shouldn't spawn a new
process.
Using `replace-literal` to insert secrets leaks the secrets through
the `replace-literal` process' `/proc/<pid>/cmdline`
file. `replace-secret` solves this by reading the secret straight from
the file instead, which also simplifies the code a bit.

Resolves: #123435
It was basically just a `environment.systemPackages` synonym,
only GNOME used it, and it was stretching the responsibilities
of the flatpak module too far.
It also makes it cleaner to avoid installing the program
using GNOME module’s `excludePackages` option.

`allowKeysForGroup` is no longer available so this drops

allowing access to certificates.
According to the ABNF grammar for PEM files described in [RFC
7468][1], an eol character (i.e. a newline) is not mandatory after the
posteb line (i.e. "-----END CERTIFICATE-----" in the case of
certificates).
This commit makes our CA certificate bundler expression account for
the possibility that files in config.security.pki.certificateFiles
might not have final newlines, by using `awk` instead of `cat` to
concatenate them. (`awk` prints a final newline from each input file
even if the file doesn't end with a newline.)

While looking at the sphinx package I noticed it was heavily
undermaintained, which is when we noticed nand0p has been inactive for
roughly 18 months. It is therefore prudent to assume they will not be
maintaining their packages, modules and tests.
- Their last contribution to nixpkgs was in 2019/12
- On 2021/05/08 I wrote them an email to the address listed in the
maintainer-list, which they didn't reply to.
- use "with subtest" everywhere
- do more in nix and less in python
- use makeTest directly to define multiple tests instead of one with
multiple nodes -> this enables them to run in parallel
- Thunderbird 68 has been dropped on master.
- gccCrossLibcStdenv has been factored out on staging-next in all-packages.nix, while the file has been re-formatted on master.
Most programs already run natively under Wayland so extraSessionCommands
isn't as important anymore. XWayland is already covered by
"programs.xwayland.enable = mkDefault true;" in the module.
Also document that `ProtectClock` blocks access to serial line.
I couldn't found out why this is the case,
but faxgetty complains about the device file
not being accessible with `ProtectClock=true`.
This should make it easier to get started.
