- Replace hand-rolled version of nixos-install in make-disk-image by an
actual call to nixos-install
- Required a few cleanups of nixos-install
- nixos-install invokes an activation script which the hand-rolled version
in make-disk-image did not do. We remove /etc/machine-id as that's
a host-specific, impure, output of the activation script
Testing:
nix-build '<nixpkgs/nixos/release.nix>' -A tests.installer.simple passes
Also tried generating an image with:
nix-build -E 'let
pkgs = import <nixpkgs> {};
lib = pkgs.lib;
nixos = import <nixpkgs/nixos> {
configuration = {
fileSystems."/".device = "/dev/disk/by-label/nixos";
boot.loader.grub.devices = [ "/dev/sda" ];
boot.loader.grub.extraEntries = '"''"'
menuentry "Ubuntu" {
insmod ext2
search --set=root --label ubuntu
configfile /boot/grub/grub.cfg
}
'"''"';
};
};
in import <nixpkgs/nixos/lib/make-disk-image.nix> {
inherit pkgs lib;
config = nixos.config;
diskSize = 2000;
partitioned = false;
installBootLoader = false;
}'
Then installed the image:
$ sudo df if=./result/nixos.img of=/dev/sdaX bs=1M
$ sudo resize2fs /dev/disk/by-label/nixos
$ sudo mount /dev/disk/by-label/nixos /mnt
$ sudo mount --rbind /proc /mnt/proc
$ sudo mount --rbind /dev /mnt/dev
$ sudo chroot /mnt /nix/var/nix/profiles/system/bin/switch-to-configuration boot
[ … optionally do something about passwords … ]
and successfully rebooted to that image.
Was doing all this from inside a Ubuntu VM with a single user nix install.
- Fix --no-bootloader which didn't do what it advertised
- Hardcode nixbld GID so that systems which do not have a nixbld user
can still run nixos-install (only with --closure since they can't
build anything)
- Cleanup: get rid of NIX_CONF_DIR(=/tmp)/nix.conf and pass arguments instead
- Cleanup: don't assume that the target system has '<nixpkgs/nixos>' or
'<nixos-config>' to see if config.users.mutableUsers. Instead check if
/var/setuid-wrappers/passwd is there
Installing NixOS now works from a Ubuntu host (using --closure).
nix-build -A tests.installer.simple '<nixpkgs/nixos/release.nix>' succeeds ✓
While useless, some builds may dabble with setuid bits (e.g.,
util-linux), which breaks under grsec. In the interest of user
friendliness, we once again compromise by disabling an otherwise useful
feature ...

It uses import-from-derivation, which is a bad thing, because this
causes hydra-evaluator to build Cassandra at evaluation time.
$ nix-instantiate nixos/release.nix -A tests.cassandra.i686-linux --dry-run
error: cannot read ‘/nix/store/c41blyjz6pfvk9fnvrn6miihq5w3j0l4-cassandra-2.0.16/conf/cassandra-env.sh’, since path ‘/nix/store/0j9ax4z8xhaz5lhrwl3bwj10waxs3hgy-cassandra-2.0.16.drv’ is not valid, at /home/eelco/Dev/nixpkgs/nixos/modules/services/databases/cassandra.nix:373:11
Also, the module is a mess (bad option descriptions, poor indentation,
a gazillion options where a generic "config" option would suffice, it
opens ports in the firewall, it sets vm.swappiness, ...).
- Agent now takes a full URL to the Go.CD server
- Instruct the agent to attempt restart every 30s upon failure
- Test's Accept header did not match the server's expectation
- Replace the tests' complex Awk matches with calls to `jq`
Update gocd-agent package version to 16.6.0-3590 including new sha. Modify heapSize
and maxMemory mkOption to accurately reflect their intended purpose of configuring
initial java heap sizes.
Addresses #17218 in a better way in that it doesn't create a
".git-revision" file on every nixos-rebuild, because we already have
".git" available. Even if we don't nixos-rebuild can't create the
"git-revision" file.
Tested via:
nix-build -E '(import ./nixos/tests/make-test.nix {
name = "foo";
machine = {};
testScript = "startAll; $machine->execute(\"nixos-version >&2\");";
})'
Closes: #17610

Let's first try if we can determine the Git revision from the .git
directory and if that fails, fall back to get the info from the
".git-revision" file... and after that use something generic like
"master".
This should address #17218 in better way, because we don't need to
create another redundant file in the source checkout of nixpkgs.
I'm not going to route of falling back to using .git, because after
55d881e, we already have ".git-revision" files in people's Git
repositories, which in turn means that nixos-version will report that
old file every time even if the working tree has updated.

Fixes: #17218
This reverts commit 1e534e234b.
We already should have a .git directory if it is managed via Git,
otherwise there is no way to get the Git revision if neither
.git-revision or .git is present.
But having .git-revision _and_ .git present seems very much redundant to
me.

Issue: #17218
The builder has this convoluted `while` loop which just replicates
`readlink -e`. I'm sure there was a reason at one point, because the
loop has been there since time immemorial. It kept getting copied
around, I suspect because nobody bothered to understand what it actually
did.
Incidentally, this fixes #17513, but I have no idea why.
From @fpletz: Keep poolConfigs option for backwards-compatibility.
The original commit 6b3f5b5a42 was previously
reverted by c7860cae1a but the issues were
resolved.
Closes #17460
Changed the wrapper derivation to produce a second output containing the sandbox.
Add a launch wrapper to try and locate the sandbox (either in /var/setuid-wrappers or in /nix/store).
This launch wrapper also sheds libredirect.so from LD_PRELOAD as Chromium does not tolerate it.
Does not trigger a Chromium rebuild.

The varnish tools (varnishstat, varnishlog, ...) tried to load the VSM
file from a spurious var directory in the Nix store. Fix the default so
the tools "just work" when also keeping services.varnish.stateDir at the
default.
Notes:
- The tools use $localstatedir/$HOSTNAME so I've adapted the default for
stateDir as well to contain hostName.
- Added postStop action to remove the localstatedir. There is no point
in keeping it around when varnish does not run, as it regenerates it
on startup anyway.
Fixes #7495
The name gitlab-runner clashes with a component of Gitlab CI with the
same name and only confuses people. It's now called gitlab-bundle and
a convenience-script gitlab-rake for easier invocation of rake tasks
was added. This was the primary use case of gitlab-runner.
The module will configure a Cassandra server with common options being
tweakable. Included is also a test which will spin up 3 nodes and
verify that the cluster can be formed, broken, and repaired.
In light of Emacs packaging improvements such as those mentioned
in #11503, and with the addition of a systemd service (#15807
and #16356), and considering that the wiki page is completely
out of date (#13217), it seems that some documentation is in order.
Enabling EFI runtime services provides a venue for injecting code into
the kernel.
When grsecurity is enabled, we close this by default by disabling access
to EFI runtime services. The upshot of this is that
/sys/firmware/efi/efivars will be unavailable by default (and attempts
to mount it will fail).
This is not strictly a grsecurity related option, it could be made into
a general option, but it seems to be of particular interest to
grsecurity users (for non-grsecurity users, there are other, more
immediate kernel injection attack dangers to contend with anyway).
* Hydra doesn't like spaces in filenames.
* The zip file contained nix/store/.../OEBPS rather than OEBPS at
top-level, causing some programs (like okular) to barf.
* Remove the redundant $dst/epub directory.
Adds a new chain in the raw table for reverse path filtering and optional
logging. A rule to allow serving DHCPv4 was also added as it is commonly
needed and poses no security risk even when no DHCPv4 server is running.
Fixes #10101.
Adds options for tcp streaming and avahi zeroconf support (so that the
server can be easily found by clients).
There is also an option to allow anonymous clients to stream to the
server (by default pulseaudio uses a cookie mechanism, see manpage).
Instead of one package `extra-cmake-modules`, there is now `ecm` and
`ecmNoHooks`. The latter is used when one does not want to incur a Qt 5
dependency; it is also available as a top-level package
`extra-cmake-modules`.
With these changes, a container can have more then one veth-pair. This allows for example to have LAN and DMZ as bridges on the host and add dedicated containers for proxies, ipv4-firewall and ipv6-firewall. Or to have a bridge for normal WAN, one bridge for administration and one bridge for customer-internal communication. So that web-server containers can be reached from outside per http, from the management via ssh and can talk to their database via the customer network.
The scripts to set up the containers are now rendered several times instead of just one template. The scripts now contain per-container code to configure the extra veth interfaces. The default template without support for extra-veths is still rendered for the imperative containers.
Also a test is there to see if extra veths can be placed into host-bridges or can be reached via routing.
This makes the container a bit more secure, by preventing root
creating device nodes to access the host file system, for
instance. (Reference: systemd-nspawn@.service in systemd.)
Revert httpConfig its old behaviour and make it mutually exclusive to
the new structured configuration. Adds appendHttpConfig to have the
ability to write custom config in the generated http block.
