nixos/geoip-updater: new service The GeoIP databases from MaxMind have no stable URLs and change every month (or so). Our current method of packaging these database in Nix and playing catch-up with ever-changing file hashes is a bad idea. For instance, it makes it impossible to realize old NixOS configurations. This patch adds a NixOS service that periodically updates the GeoIP databases in /var/lib/geoip-databases. Moving NixOS modules over can be done in later patches. I tried adding MD5 check, but not all databases have them, so i skipped it. We are downloading over HTTPS though, it should be good. I also tried adding zip support, but the first zip file I extracted had a different filename inside than the archive name, which breaks an assumption in this service, so I skipped that too. Changes v9 -> v10: - Pass "--max-time" to curl to set upper bound on downloads (ensures no indefinite hanging if there's problem with networking). Timeout for network connectivity check: 60s. Timeout for geoip database (each): 15m. Changes v8 -> v9: - Mention the random timer delay in the documentation for the 'interval' option. Changes v7 -> v8: - Add "RemainAfterExit=true" for the setup service, so it won't be restarted needlessly. (Thanks @danbst!) Changes v6 -> v7: - Add --skip-existing flag to geoip-updater, which skips updating existing database files. Pass that flag when we run the service on boot (and on any NixOS configuration change). (IMHO, this is somewhat a workaround for systemd persistent timers not being triggered immediately when a timer has never expired before. But it does have the nice side effect of ensuring that the installed databases always correspond to the configured ones, since the service is now always run after configuration changes.) Changes v5 -> v6: - Update database files atomically (per DB) - If a database is removed from the configuration, it'll be removed from /var/lib/geoip-databases too (on next run). - Add NixOS module assertion so that if user inputs non- .gz or .xz file there will be a build time error instead of runtime. - Run updater as user "nobody" instead of "root". - Rename NixOS service from "geoip-databases" to "geoip-updater". - Drop RemainAfterExit, or else the timer won't trigger the unit. - Bring back "curl --fail", or else we won't catch and log curl failures. Changes v4 -> v5: - Add "GeoLite2-City.mmdb.gz" to default database list. Changes v3 -> v4: - Remove unneeded geoip-updater-setup.service after adding 'wantedBy = [ "multi-user.target" ]' directly to geoip-updater.service - Drop unneeded "Service" name from service descriptions. Changes v2 -> v3: - Network may be down when starting from a cold boot, so try a few times. Possibly, if using systemd-networkd, it'll pass on the first try. But with default DHCP on NixOS, the service is started before hostnames can be resolved and thus we need a few extra seconds. - Add error handling and mark service as failed if fatal error. - Add proper syslog log levels. - Add RandomizedDelaySec=3600 to the timer to not put high load on the MaxMind servers. Suggested by @Mic92. - Set RemainAfterExit on geoip-updater.service instead of geoip-updater-setup.service. (The latter is only a proxy that pulls in the former service). Changes v1 -> v2: From Данило Глинський (Danylo Hlynskyi) <abcz2.uprola@gmail.com>: nixos/geoip-databases: add `databases` option and fix initial setup There were two great issues when using this service: - When you just enable service, databases aren't downloaded, they are downloaded when timer triggers. Fixed this with automatic download on first system activation. - When there is no internet, updater outputs nothing to logs, which is IMO misbehavior. Fixed this with removing `--fail` option, better be explicit here.

Changes v5 -> v6: - Update database files atomically (per DB) - If a database is removed from the configuration, it'll be removed from /var/lib/geoip-databases too (on next run). - Add NixOS module assertion so that if user inputs non- .gz or .xz file there will be a build time error instead of runtime. - Run updater as user "nobody" instead of "root". - Rename NixOS service from "geoip-databases" to "geoip-updater". - Drop RemainAfterExit, or else the timer won't trigger the unit. - Bring back "curl --fail", or else we won't catch and log curl failures. Changes v4 -> v5: - Add "GeoLite2-City.mmdb.gz" to default database list. Changes v3 -> v4: - Remove unneeded geoip-updater-setup.service after adding 'wantedBy = [ "multi-user.target" ]' directly to geoip-updater.service - Drop unneeded "Service" name from service descriptions. Changes v2 -> v3: - Network may be down when starting from a cold boot, so try a few times. Possibly, if using systemd-networkd, it'll pass on the first try. But with default DHCP on NixOS, the service is started before hostnames can be resolved and thus we need a few extra seconds. - Add error handling and mark service as failed if fatal error. - Add proper syslog log levels. - Add RandomizedDelaySec=3600 to the timer to not put high load on the MaxMind servers. Suggested by @Mic92. - Set RemainAfterExit on geoip-updater.service instead of geoip-updater-setup.service. (The latter is only a proxy that pulls in the former service). Changes v1 -> v2: From Данило Глинський (Danylo Hlynskyi) <abcz2.uprola@gmail.com>: nixos/geoip-databases: add `databases` option and fix initial setup There were two great issues when using this service: - When you just enable service, databases aren't downloaded, they are downloaded when timer triggers. Fixed this with automatic download on first system activation. - When there is no internet, updater outputs nothing to logs, which is IMO misbehavior. Fixed this with removing `--fail` option, better be explicit here.
