NixOS currently has issues with setting the FQDN of a system in a way
where standard tools work. In order to help with experimentation and
avoid regressions, add a test that checks that the hostname is
reported as the user wanted it to be.

This adds a simple test running GNU Hello cross-compiled for armv7l and
aarch64 inside a x86_64 VM with configured binfmt.
We already build the cross toolchains in other invocations, and building
hello itself is small.
This seems to have worked in 15f105d41f (5
months ago) but broke somewhere in the meantime.
The current module doesn't seem to be underdocumented and might need a
serious refactor. It requires quite some hacks to get it to work (see
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/86305#issuecomment-621129942),
or how the ldap.nix test used systemd.services.openldap.preStart and
made quite some assumptions on internals.
Mic92 agreed on being added as a maintainer for the module, as he uses
it a lot and can possibly fix eventual breakages. For the most basic
startup breakages, the remaining openldap.nix test might suffice.
`doas` is a lighter alternative to `sudo` that "provide[s] 95% of the
features of `sudo` with a fraction of the codebase" [1]. I prefer it to
`sudo`, so I figured I would add a NixOS module in order for it to be
easier to use. The module is based off of the existing `sudo` module.

This is a follow-up to the PR #82026 that contains the promised tests.
In this test I am testing if we can properly propagate prefixes received
via DHCPv6 PD with the networkd options in our module system.
The comments in the test should be sufficient to follow the idea and
what is going on.
When testing WireGuard updates, I usually run the VM-tests with
different kernels to make sure we're not introducing accidental
regressions for e.g. older kernels.
I figured that we should automate this process to ensure continuously
that WireGuard works fine on several kernels.
For now I decided to test the latest LTS version (5.4) and
the latest kernel (currently 5.6). We can add more kernels in the
future, however this seems to significantly slow down evaluation and
time.
The list can be customized by running a command like this:
nix-build nixos/tests/wireguard --arg kernelVersionsToTest '["4.19"]'
The `kernelPackages` argument in the tests is null by default to make
sure that it's still possible to invoke the test-files directly. In that
case the default kernel of NixOS (currently 5.4) is used.
This was added in aade4e577b, but the
implementation of the ACME module has been entirely rewritten since
then, and the test seems to run fine on AArch64.
* nixos/k3s: simplify config expression
* nixos/k3s: add config assertions and trim unneeded bits
* nixos/k3s: add a test that k3s works; minor module improvements
This is a single-node test. Eventually we should also have a multi-node
test to verify the agent bit works, but that one's more involved.
* nixos/k3s: add option description
* nixos/k3s: add defaults for token/serveraddr
Now that the assertion enforces their presence, we dont' need to use the typesystem for it.
* nixos/k3s: remove unneeded sudo in test
* nixos/k3s: add to test list
Upgrades Hydra to the latest master/flake branch. To perform this
upgrade, it's needed to do a non-trivial db-migration which provides a
massive performance-improvement[1].
The basic ideas behind multi-step upgrades of services between NixOS versions
have been gathered already[2]. For further context it's recommended to
read this first.
Basically, the following steps are needed:
* Upgrade to a non-breaking version of Hydra with the db-changes
(columns are still nullable here). If `system.stateVersion` is set to
something older than 20.03, the package will be selected
automatically, otherwise `pkgs.hydra-migration` needs to be used.
* Run `hydra-backfill-ids` on the server.
* Deploy either `pkgs.hydra-unstable` (for Hydra master) or
`pkgs.hydra-flakes` (for flakes-support) to activate the optimization.
The steps are also documented in the release-notes and in the module
using `warnings`.
`pkgs.hydra` has been removed as latest Hydra doesn't compile with
`pkgs.nixStable` and to ensure a graceful migration using the newly
introduced packages.
To verify the approach, a simple vm-test has been added which verifies
the migration steps.

While our ETag patch works pretty fine if it comes to serving data off
store paths, it unfortunately broke something that might be a bit more
common, namely when using regexes to extract path components of
location directives for example.
Recently, @devhell has reported a bug with a nginx location directive
like this:
location ~^/\~([a-z0-9_]+)(/.*)?$" {
alias /home/$1/public_html$2;
}
While this might look harmless at first glance, it does however cause
issues with our ETag patch. The alias directive gets broken up by nginx
like this:
*2 http script copy: "/home/"
*2 http script capture: "foo"
*2 http script copy: "/public_html/"
*2 http script capture: "bar.txt"
In our patch however, we use realpath(3) to get the canonicalised path
from ngx_http_core_loc_conf_s.root, which returns the *configured* value
from the root or alias directive. So in the example above, realpath(3)
boils down to the following syscalls:
lstat("/home", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
lstat("/home/$1", 0x7ffd08da6f60) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
During my review[1] of the initial patch, I didn't actually notice that
what we're doing here is returning NGX_ERROR if the realpath(3) call
fails, which in turn causes an HTTP 500 error.
Since our patch actually made the canonicalisation (and thus additional
syscalls) necessary, we really shouldn't introduce an additional error
so let's - at least for now - silently skip return value if realpath(3)
has failed.
However since we're using the unaltered root from the config we have
another issue, consider this root:
/nix/store/...-abcde/$1
Calling realpath(3) on this path will fail (except if there's a file
called "$1" of course), so even this fix is not enough because it
results in the ETag not being set to the store path hash.
While this is very ugly and we should fix this very soon, it's not as
serious as getting HTTP 500 errors for serving static files.
I added a small NixOS VM test, which uses the example above as a
regression test.
It seems that my memory is failing these days, since apparently I *knew*
about this issue since digging for existing issues in nixpkgs, I found
this similar pull request which I even reviewed:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/66532
However, since the comments weren't addressed and the author hasn't
responded to the pull request, I decided to keep this very commit and do
a follow-up pull request.

Add a cage module to nixos. This can be used to make kiosk-style
systems that boot directly to a single application. The user (demo by
default) is automatically logged in by this service and the
program (xterm by default) is automatically started.
This is useful for some embedded, single-user systems where we want
automatic booting. To keep the system secure, the user should have
limited privileges.
Based on the service provided in the Cage wiki here:

This fixes the patch for nginx to clear the Last-Modified header if a
static file is served from the Nix store.
So far we only used the ETag from the store path, but if the
Last-Modified header is always set to "Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:01 GMT",
Firefox and Chrome/Chromium seem to ignore the ETag and simply use the
cached content instead of revalidating.
Alongside the fix, this also adds a dedicated NixOS VM test, which uses
WebDriver and Firefox to check whether the content is actually served
from the browser's cache and to have a more real-world test case.
This is what I've suspected a while ago[1]:
> Heads-up everyone: After testing this in a few production instances,

Much earlier[2] when I reviewed the patch, I wrote this:
> Other than that, it looks good to me.
>
> However, I'm not sure what we should do with Last-Modified header.

Unfortunately, I didn't pursue this any further back then because
@pbogdan noted[3] the following:
> Hmm, could they (assuming they are conforming):
>
> * If an entity tag has been provided by the origin server, MUST
> use that entity tag in any cache-conditional request (using If-
> Match or If-None-Match).
Since running with this patch in some deployments, I found that both
Firefox and Chrome/Chromium do NOT re-validate against the ETag if the
Last-Modified header is still the same.
So I wrote a small NixOS VM test with Geckodriver to have a test case
which is closer to the real world and I indeed was able to reproduce
this.
Whether this is actually a bug in Chrome or Firefox is an entirely
different issue and even IF it is the fault of the browsers and it is
fixed at some point, we'd still need to handle this for older browser
versions.
Apart from clearing the header, I also recreated the patch by using a
plain "git diff" with a small description on top. This should make it
easier for future authors to work on that patch.

The SLIM project is abandoned and their last release was in 2013.
Because of this it poses a security risk to systems, no one is working
on it or picked up maintenance. It also lacks compatibility with systemd
and logind sessions. For users, there liikely isn't anything like slim
that's as lightweight in terms of dependencies.
The two new options make it possible to create the interface in one namespace
and move it to a different one, as explained at https://www.wireguard.com/netns/.
This is a good example of a package/module that should be distributed
externally (e.g. as a flake [1]): it's not stable yet so anybody who
seriously wants to use it will want to use the upstream repo. Also,
it's highly specialized so NixOS is not really the right place at the
moment (every NixOS module slows down NixOS evaluation for everybody).

* lm_sensors: add fancontrol module + nixos test
fancontrol is a small script that checks temperature sensors and adapts
fan speeds accordingly. It reads a text config file that can be
auto-generated by running the pwmconfig wizard on the live system.
The actual only difference from the gnome3-xorg
test is that this tests the wayland session.
It's also more accurate to call it just "gnome3"
since wayland is default here.
Basic test which confirms new inputs can be created and that messages
can be sent to a UDP-GELF input using `netcat`.
This test requires 4GB of RAM to avoid issues due insufficient
memory (please refer to `nixos/tests/elk.nix` for a detailed explanation of
the issue) for elasticsearch.
Also it's ensured that elasticsearch has an open HTTP port for communication
when starting `graylog`. This is a workaround to ensure that all services
are started in proper order, even in test environments with less power.
However this shouldn't be implemented in the `nixos/graylog` module as
this might be harmful when using elasticsearch clusters that require e.g.
authentication and/or run on different servers.
Somewhen between systemd v239 and v242 upstream decided to no longer run
a few system services with `DyanmicUser=1` but failed to provide a
migration path for all the state those services left behind.
For the case of systemd-timesync the state has to be moved from
/var/lib/private/systemd/timesync to /var/lib/systemd/timesync if
/var/lib/systemd/timesync is currently a symlink.
We only do this if the stateVersion is still below 19.09 to avoid
starting to have an ever growing activation script for (then) ancient
systemd migrations that are no longer required.
See https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/12131 for details about
the missing migration path and related discussion.
This is actually very useful. Allows you to test switch-to-configuration
nesting.children is still currently still broken as it will throw
away 'too much' of the config, including the modules that make
nixos tests work in the first place. But that's something for
another time.
Ideally, private keys never leave the host they're generated on - like
SSH. Setting generatePrivateKeyFile to true causes the PK to be
generate automatically.
Documize is an open-source alternative for wiki software like Confluence
based on Go and EmberJS. This patch adds the sources for the community
edition[1], for commercial their paid-plan[2] needs to be used.
For commercial use a derivation that bundles the commercial package and
contains a `$out/bin/documize` can be passed to
`services.documize.enable`.
The package compiles the Go sources, the build process also bundles the
pre-built frontend from `gui/public` into the binary.
The NixOS module generates a simple `systemd` unit which starts the
service as a dynamic user, database and a reverse proxy won't be
configured.

Also add back tests, don't seem broken anymore.
This is just fine:
nix-build ./nixos/release.nix -A tests.kafka.kafka_2_1.x86_64-linux -A tests.kafka.kafka_2_2.x86_64-linux
Currently if you want to properly chroot a systemd service, you could do
it using BindReadOnlyPaths=/nix/store or use a separate derivation which
gathers the runtime closure of the service you want to chroot. The
former is the easier method and there is also a method directly offered
by systemd, called ProtectSystem, which still leaves the whole store
accessible. The latter however is a bit more involved, because you need
to bind-mount each store path of the runtime closure of the service you
want to chroot.
This can be achieved using pkgs.closureInfo and a small derivation that
packs everything into a systemd unit, which later can be added to
systemd.packages.
However, this process is a bit tedious, so the changes here implement
this in a more generic way.
Now if you want to chroot a systemd service, all you need to do is:
{
systemd.services.myservice = {
description = "My Shiny Service";
wantedBy = [ "multi-user.target" ];
confinement.enable = true;
serviceConfig.ExecStart = "${pkgs.myservice}/bin/myservice";
};
}
If more than the dependencies for the ExecStart* and ExecStop* (which
btw. also includes script and {pre,post}Start) need to be in the chroot,
it can be specified using the confinement.packages option. By default
(which uses the full-apivfs confinement mode), a user namespace is set
up as well and /proc, /sys and /dev are mounted appropriately.
In addition - and by default - a /bin/sh executable is provided, which
is useful for most programs that use the system() C library call to
execute commands via shell.
Unfortunately, there are a few limitations at the moment. The first
being that DynamicUser doesn't work in conjunction with tmpfs, because
systemd seems to ignore the TemporaryFileSystem option if DynamicUser is
enabled. I started implementing a workaround to do this, but I decided
to not include it as part of this pull request, because it needs a lot
more testing to ensure it's consistent with the behaviour without
DynamicUser.
The second limitation/issue is that RootDirectoryStartOnly doesn't work
right now, because it only affects the RootDirectory option and doesn't
include/exclude the individual bind mounts or the tmpfs.
A quirk we do have right now is that systemd tries to create a /usr
directory within the chroot, which subsequently fails. Fortunately, this
is just an ugly error and not a hard failure.
The changes also come with a changelog entry for NixOS 19.03, which is
why I asked for a vote of the NixOS 19.03 stable maintainers whether to
include it (I admit it's a bit late a few days before official release,
sorry for that):
@samueldr:
Via pull request comment[1]:
+1 for backporting as this only enhances the feature set of nixos,
and does not (at a glance) change existing behaviours.
Via IRC:
new feature: -1, tests +1, we're at zero, self-contained, with no
global effects without actively using it, +1, I think it's good
@lheckemann:
Via pull request comment[2]:
I'm neutral on backporting. On the one hand, as @samueldr says,
this doesn't change any existing functionality. On the other hand,
it's a new feature and we're well past the feature freeze, which
AFAIU is intended so that new, potentially buggy features aren't
introduced in the "stabilisation period". It is a cool feature
though? :)
A few other people on IRC didn't have opposition either against late
inclusion into NixOS 19.03:
@edolstra: "I'm not against it"
@Infinisil: "+1 from me as well"
@grahamc: "IMO its up to the RMs"
So that makes +1 from @samueldr, 0 from @lheckemann, 0 from @edolstra
and +1 from @Infinisil (even though he's not a release manager) and no
opposition from anyone, which is the reason why I'm merging this right
now.
I also would like to thank @Infinisil, @edolstra and @danbst for their
reviews.

In Linux 4.19 there has been a major rework of the overlayfs
implementation and it now opens files in lowerdir with O_NOATIME, which
in turn caused issues in our VM tests because the process owner of QEMU
doesn't match the file owner of the lowerdir.
The crux here is that 9p propagates the O_NOATIME flag to the host and
the guest kernel has no way of verifying whether that flag will lead to
any problems beforehand.
There is ongoing work to possibly fix this in the kernel, but it will
take a while until there is a working patch and consensus.
So in order to bring our default kernel back to 4.19 and of course make
it possible to run newer kernels in VM tests, I'm merging a small QEMU
patch as an interim solution, which we can drop once we have a working
fix in the next round of stable kernels.
Now we already had Linux 4.19 set as the default kernel, but that was
subsequently reverted in 048c36ccaa
because the patch we have used was the revert of the commit I bisected a
while ago.
This patch broke overlayfs in other ways, so I'm also merging in a VM
test by @bachp, which only tests whether overlayfs is working, just to
be on the safe side that something like this won't happen in the future.
Even though this change could be considered a moderate mass-rebuild at
least for GNU/Linux, I'm merging this to master, mainly to give us some
time to get it into the current 19.03 release branch (and subsequent
testing window) once we got no new breaking builds from Hydra.

After working on the last wireguard bump (#57534), we figured that it's
probably a good idea to have a basic test which confirms that a simple
VPN with wireguard still works.
This test starts two peers with a `wg0` network interface and adds a v4
and a v6 route that goes through `wg0`.
Quoting @edolstra from [1]:
I don't really like the name "chroot", something like "confine[ment]"
or "restrict" seems better. Conceptually we're not providing a
completely different filesystem tree but a restricted view of the same
tree.
I already used "confinement" as a sub-option and I do agree that
"chroot" sounds a bit too specific (especially because not *only* chroot
is involved).
So this changes the module name and its option to use "confinement"
instead of "chroot" and also renames the "chroot.confinement" to
"confinement.mode".

This can be achieved using pkgs.closureInfo and a small derivation that
packs everything into a systemd unit, which later can be added to
systemd.packages. That's also what I did several times[1][2] in the
past.
However, this process got a bit tedious, so I decided that it would be
generally useful for NixOS, so this very implementation was born.
Now if you want to chroot a systemd service, all you need to do is:
{
systemd.services.yourservice = {
description = "My Shiny Service";
wantedBy = [ "multi-user.target" ];
chroot.enable = true;
serviceConfig.ExecStart = "${pkgs.myservice}/bin/myservice";
};
}
If more than the dependencies for the ExecStart* and ExecStop* (which
btw. also includes "script" and {pre,post}Start) need to be in the
chroot, it can be specified using the chroot.packages option. By
default (which uses the "full-apivfs"[3] confinement mode), a user
namespace is set up as well and /proc, /sys and /dev are mounted
appropriately.
In addition - and by default - a /bin/sh executable is provided as well,
which is useful for most programs that use the system() C library call
to execute commands via shell. The shell providing /bin/sh is dash
instead of the default in NixOS (which is bash), because it's way more
lightweight and after all we're chrooting because we want to lower the
attack surface and it should be only used for "/bin/sh -c something".
Prior to submitting this here, I did a first implementation of this
outside[4] of nixpkgs, which duplicated the "pathSafeName" functionality
from systemd-lib.nix, just because it's only a single line.
However, I decided to just re-use the one from systemd here and
subsequently made it available when importing systemd-lib.nix, so that
the systemd-chroot implementation also benefits from fixes to that
functionality (which is now a proper function).
Unfortunately, we do have a few limitations as well. The first being
that DynamicUser doesn't work in conjunction with tmpfs, because it
already sets up a tmpfs in a different path and simply ignores the one
we define. We could probably solve this by detecting it and try to
bind-mount our paths to that different path whenever DynamicUser is
enabled.
The second limitation/issue is that RootDirectoryStartOnly doesn't work
right now, because it only affects the RootDirectory option and not the
individual bind mounts or our tmpfs. It would be helpful if systemd
would have a way to disable specific bind mounts as well or at least
have some way to ignore failures for the bind mounts/tmpfs setup.
Another quirk we do have right now is that systemd tries to create a
/usr directory within the chroot, which subsequently fails. Fortunately,
this is just an ugly error and not a hard failure.

Although the package itself builds fine, the module fails because it
tries to log into a non-existant file in `/var/log` which breaks the
service. Patching to default config to log to stdout by default fixes
the issue. Additionally this is the better solution as NixOS heavily
relies on systemd (and thus journald) for logging.
Also, the runtime relies on `/etc/localtime` to start, as it's not
required by the module system we set UTC as sensitive default when using
the module.
To ensure that the service's basic functionality is available, a simple
NixOS test has been added.
pkgs.owncloud still pointed to owncloud 7.0.15 (from May 13 2016)

They consistently fail since openjdk bump with some out-of-space errors.
That's not a problem by itself, but each test instance ties a build slot
for many hours and consequently they also delay channels as those wait
for all builds to finish.
Feel free to re-enable when fixed, of course.
This will make the list much easier to re-use, eg. for `nixosTests`
The drawback is that this approaches makes the
```
nix-build release.nix -A tests.opensmtpd.x86_64-linux
```
command about twice as slow (3s to 6s): it now has to evaluate `nixpkgs`
once for each architecture, instead of just having the hardcoded list of
tests that allowed to say “ok just evaluate for x86_64-linux”.
On the other hand, complete evaluation of `release.nix` should be much
faster because we no longer import `nixpkgs` for each test: testing with
the following command went from 30s to 18s, and that's just for a few
tests.
```
time nix-instantiate --eval --strict nixos/release.nix -A tests.nat
```
I initially wanted to test on the whole `release.nix`, but there are too
many broken tests and it takes too long to eval them all, especially
compared to the fact that the current implementation breaks some setup.
Given developers can just `nix-build nixos/tests/my-test.nix`, it sounds
like an overall win.
