According to Freenode's ##AWS, the metadata server can sometimes
take a few moments to get its shoes on, and the very first boot
of a machine can see failed requests for a few moments.
AWS's metadata service has two versions. Version 1 allowed plain HTTP
requests to get metadata. However, this was frequently abused when a
user could trick an AWS-hosted server in to proxying requests to the
metadata service. Since the metadata service is frequently used to
generate AWS access keys, this is pretty gnarly. Version two is
identical except it requires the caller to request a token and provide
it on each request.
Today, starting a NixOS AMI in EC2 where the metadata service is
configured to only allow v2 requests fails: the user's SSH key is not
placed, and configuration provided by the user-data is not applied.
The server is useless. This patch addresses that.
Note the dependency on curl is not a joyful one, and it expand the
initrd by 30M. However, see the added comment for more information
about why this is needed. Note the idea of using `echo` and `nc` are
laughable. Don't do that.
See https://www.redhat.com/sysadmin/fedora-31-control-group-v2 for
details on why this is desirable, and how it impacts containers.
Users that need to keep using the old cgroup hierarchy can re-enable it
by setting `systemd.unifiedCgroupHierarchy` to `false`.
Well-known candidates not supporting that hierarchy, like docker and
hidepid=… will disable it automatically.
Fixes #73800
This reverts commit fb6d63f3fd.
I really hope this finally fixes #99236: evaluation on Hydra.
This time I really did check basically the same commit on Hydra:
https://hydra.nixos.org/eval/1618011
Right now I don't have energy to find what exactly is wrong in the
commit, and it doesn't seem important in comparison to nixos-unstable
channel being stuck on a commit over one week old.
This adds the pinns path to the configuration let CRI-O start properly.
We also change the configuration to the new drop-in syntax.

The toplevel derivations of systems that have `networking.hostName`
set to `""` (because they want their hostname to be set by DHCP) used
to be all named
`nixos-system-unnamed-${config.system.nixos.label}`.
This makes them hard to distinguish.
A similar problem existed in NixOS tests where `vmName` is used in the
`testScript` to refer to the VM. It defaulted to the
`networking.hostName` which when set to `""` won't allow you to refer
to the machine from the `testScript`.
This commit makes the `system.name` configurable. It still defaults to:
```
if config.networking.hostName == ""
then "unnamed"
else config.networking.hostName;
```
but in case `networking.hostName` needs to be to `""` the
`system.name` can be set to a distinguishable name.
This is analogous to #70447.
With security.lockKernelModules=true, docker commands result in the following
error without at least loading veth:

This is required by (among others) Podman to run containers in rootless mode.
Other distributions such as Fedora and Ubuntu already set up these mappings.
The scheme with a start UID/GID offset starting at 100000 and increasing in 65536 increments is copied from Fedora.

Without this, systemd-boot does not add an EFI boot entry for itself.
The reason it worked before this fix is because it would fall back to
the default installed \EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI
