It only increases the closure size by 0.5M and users who do not set
the NixOS option `hardware.pulseaudio.package = pkgs.pulseaudioFull;`
will be stumped by their bluetooth audio not working.
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.

It's impossible to move two major-versions forward when upgrading
Nextcloud. This is an issue when comming from 19.09 (using Nextcloud 16)
and trying to upgrade to 20.03 (using Nextcloud 18 by default).
This patch implements the measurements discussed in #82056 and #82353 to
improve the update process and to circumvent similar issues in the
future:
* `pkgs.nextcloud` has been removed in favor of versioned attributes
(currently `pkgs.nextcloud17` and `pkgs.nextcloud18`). With that
approach we can safely backport major-releases in the future to
simplify those upgrade-paths and we can select one of the
major-releases as default depending on the configuration (helpful to
decide whether e.g. `pkgs.nextcloud17` or `pkgs.nextcloud18` should be
used on 20.03 and `master` atm).
* If `system.stateVersion` is older than `20.03`, `nextcloud17` will be
used (which is one major-release behind v16 from 19.09). When using a
package older than the latest major-release available (currently v18),
the evaluation will cause a warning which describes the issue and
suggests next steps.
To make those package-selections easier, a new option to define the
package to be used for the service (namely
`services.nextcloud.package`) was introduced.
* If `pkgs.nextcloud` exists (e.g. due to an overlay which was used to
provide more recent Nextcloud versions on older NixOS-releases), an
evaluation error will be thrown by default: this is to make sure that
`services.nextcloud.package` doesn't use an older version by accident
after checking the state-version. If `pkgs.nextcloud` is added
manually, it needs to be declared explicitly in
`services.nextcloud.package`.
* The `nixos/nextcloud`-documentation contains a
"Maintainer information"-chapter which describes how to roll out new
Nextcloud releases and how to deal with old (and probably unsafe)
versions.
Closes #82056
