While switching NixOS configurations with both
networking.useNetworkd = true;
virtualisation.virtualbox.host.enable;
You often end up waiting for systemd-networkd-wait-online.service.
This happens because the vboxnet0 device doesn't have a carrier until
virtualbox machines are started, so networkd gets stuck in
"Configuring":
⇒ networkctl list
IDX LINK TYPE OPERATIONAL SETUP
1 lo loopback carrier unmanaged
2 wlp2s0 wlan routable unmanaged
3 vboxnet0 ether no-carrier configuring
This updates the NixOS virtualbox host module to include a
RequiredForOnline=no statement in the generated 40-vboxnet0.network
file, so networkd doesn't consider it necessary for
systemd-networkd-wait-online.service to finish.
Let's encrypt bumped ACME to V2. We need to update our nixos test to
be compatible with this new protocol version.
We decided to drop the Boulder ACME server in favor of the more
integration test friendly Pebble.
- overriding cacert not necessary
- this avoids rebuilding lots of packages needlessly
- nixos/tests/acme: use pebble's ca for client tests
- pebble always generates its own ca which has to be fetched
TODO: write proper commit msg :)
Updating:
- nixos module to use the new `account_reg.json` file.
- use nixpkgs pebble for integration tests.

Replace certbot-embedded pebble
Just maching all network interfaces caused many breakages, see #18962
and #71106.
We already don't support the global networking.useDHCP,
networking.defaultGateway(6) options if networking.useNetworkd is
enabled, but direct users to configure the per-device
networking.interfaces.<name?>.… options.
This adds support for deploying to remote hosts without being root:
sudo nixos-rebuild --target-host non-root@host
Without this change, only root@host is able to deploy.
The idea is that if the local command is run with sudo, so should the
remote one, thus there is no need for adding any CLI options.
Even though the release obviously already happened, I think it might
still make sense to add a short note about the attributes not being
supported any longer (and going forward).

This option was removed because allowing (multiple) regular users to
override host entries affecting the whole system opens up a huge attack
vector. There seem to be very rare cases where this might be useful.
Consider setting system-wide host entries using networking.hosts,
provide them via the DNS server in your network, or use
networking.networkmanager.appendNameservers to point your system to
another (local) nameserver to set those entries.
This reverts commit 60aedadc59.
Using tests from #71212 I am now unable to reproduce there being issues
with starting the default metacity flashback session without this.
