A user noticed the example for `hosts`, took the `mode` permissions literally, and ended up with surprising behavior on their system. Updating the documentation to not reference a real config file which might have real permissions requirements.
The pre-sleep service exits if any command fails. Unloading facetimehd
without it being loaded blocks subsequent commands from running.
Note: `modprobe -r` works a bit better when unloading unused modules,
and is preferrable to `rmmod`. However, the facetimehd module does not
support suspending. In this case, it seems preferable to forcefully
unload the module. `modprobe` does not support a `--force` flag when
removing, so we are left with `rmmod`.

Basic hardening
- Run as nobody:nogroup with a private /tmp, /home & /run/user
- Create working directory under /run (hoogle insists on writing to cwd
and otherwise returns "something went wrong" to every query)
Option tweaks
- Provide a default for the haskellPackage option
- Set text values for defaults
- Move hoogleEnv to the top-level & simplify it
This command was useful when NixOS was spread across multiple
repositories, but now it's pretty pointless (and obfuscates what
happens, i.e. "git clone git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs.git").
Note: I ignored the C++ libraries, but it appears we're not currently
using them. Once we do, we'll probably want to put them in a separate
output as well (to prevent non-C++ users from depending on Boost).
Two fixes:
Not really sure why removing `--fail` from the curl calls is necessary,
but with that option, curl erronously reports 404 (which it shouldn't
per my interactive vm testing).
Fix paths to example files used for the printing test
Toghether, these changes allow the test to run to completion on my machine.
Need to pass `cups.out` to `systemd.packages`, lest we end up with an invalid
generated unit containing only directives set in the service module.
This patch gives us a valid cups.service unit but, vexingly, does not fix the
test failure at NixOS/nixpkgs#14748
`dbus-launch` is executed early in the script, before desktop managers
had a chance to setup the environment. If DBus activation is used,
applications launched by this may therefore lack necessary environment
variables. This patch sends the complete environment to DBus after
launching the desktop manager.
With the merge of the closure-size branch, most packages now have
multiple outputs. One of these packages is gnutls, so previously
everything that we needed was to reference "${gnutls}/bin/..." and now
we need to use "${gnutls.bin}/bin/...".
So it's not a very big issue to fix.

This adds a Taskserver module along with documentation and a small
helper tool which eases managing a custom CA along with Taskserver
organisations, users and groups.
Taskserver is the server component of Taskwarrior, a TODO list
application for the command line.
The work has been started by @matthiasbeyer back in mid 2015 and I have
continued to work on it recently, so this merge contains commits from
both of us.
Thanks particularly to @nbp and @matthiasbeyer for reviewing and
suggesting improvements.
I've tested this with the new test (nixos/tests/taskserver.nix) this
branch adds and it fails because of the changes introduced by the
closure-size branch, so we need to do additional work on base of this.
This reverts commit 1d77dcaed3.
It will be reintroduced along with #14700 as a separate branch, as
suggested by @nbp.
I added this to this branch because I thought it was a necessary
dependency, but it turns out that the build of the manual/manpages still
succeeds and merely prints a warning like this:
warning: failed to load external entity "olinkdb.xml"
Olink error: could not open target database 'olinkdb.xml'.
Error: unresolved olink: targetdoc/targetptr = 'manual/module-taskserver'.
The olink itself will be replaced by "???", so users looking at the
description of the option in question will still see the reference to
the NixOS manual, like this:
More instructions about NixOS in conjuction with Taskserver can be found
in the NixOS manual at ???.

My first attempt to do this was to just use a conditional <refsection/>
in order to not create exact references in the manpage but create the
reference in the HTML manual, as suggested by @edolstra on IRC.
Later I went on to use <olink/> to reference sections of the manual, but
in order to do that, we need to overhaul how we generate the manual and
manpages.
So, that's where we are now:
There is a new derivation called "manual-olinkdb", which is the olinkdb
for the HTML manual, which in turn creates the olinkdb.xml file and the
manual.db. The former contains the targetdoc references and the latter
the specific targetptr elements.
The reason why I included the olinkdb.xml verbatim is that first of all
the DTD is dependent on the Docbook XSL sources and the references
within the olinkdb.xml entities are relative to the current directory.
So using a store path for that would end up searching for the manual.db
directly in /nix/store/manual.db.
Unfortunately, the <olinks/> that end up in the output file are
relative, so for example if you're clicking on one of these within the
PDF, the URL is searched in the current directory.
However, the sections from the olink's text are still valid, so we could
use an alternative URL for that in the future.
The manual doesn't contain any links, so even referencing the relative
URL shouldn't do any harm.

It was failing with a `Read-only filesystem` failure due to the systemd
service option `ReadWriteDirectories` not being correctly configured.
Fixes#14132
Continuation of 79c3c16dcbb3b45c0f108550cb89ccd4fc855e3b. Systemd 229
sets the default RLIMIT_CORE to infinity, causing systems to be
littered with core dumps when systemd.coredump.enable is disabled.
This restores the 15.09 soft limit of 0 and hard limit of infinity.
This module adds support for defining a flexget service.
Due to flexget insisting on being able to write all over where it finds
its configuration file, we use a ExecStartPre hook to copy the generated
configuration file into place under the user's home. It's fairly ugly
and I'm very open to suggestions
Coreutils is multi-output and the `info` output doesn't seem to be

Using requiredBy is a bad idea for the initialisation units, because
whenever the Taskserver service is restarted the initialisation units
get restarted as well.
Also, make sure taskserver-init.service will be ordered *before*
taskserver.service.

The Taskserver doesn't need access to the full /dev nor does it need a
shared /tmp. In addition, the initialisation services don't need network
access, so let's constrain them to the loopback device.

As suggested by @matthiasbeyer:
"We might add a short note that this port has to be opened in the
firewall, or is this done by the service automatically?"
This commit now adds the listenPort to
networking.firewall.allowedTCPPorts as soon as the listenHost is not
"localhost".
In addition to that, this is now also documented in the listenHost
option declaration and I have removed disabling of the firewall from the
VM test.

No changes in functionality but rather just restructuring the module
definitions to be one mkMerge, which now uses mkIf from the top-level
scope of the CA initialization service so we can better abstract
additional options we might need there.

We want to make sure that the helper tool won't work if the automatic CA
wasn't properly set up. This not only avoids race conditions if the tool
is started before the actual service is running but it also fails if
something during CA setup has failed so the user can investigate what
went wrong.
Signed-off-by: aszlig <aszlig@redmoonstudios.org>
We need to explicitly make sure the CA is created before we actually
launch the main Taskserver service in order to avoid race conditions
where the preStart phase of the main service could possibly corrupt
certificates if it would be started in parallel.

This is simply to add configuration lines to the generated configuration
file. The reason why I didn't went for an attribute set is that the
taskdrc file format doesn't map very well on Nix attributes, for example
the following can be set in taskdrc:
server = somestring
server.key = anotherstring
In order to use a Nix attribute set for that, it would be way too
complicated, for example if we want to represent the mentioned example
we'd have to do something like this:
{ server._top = somestring;
server.key = anotherstring;
}
Of course, this would work as well but nothing is more simple than just
appending raw strings.

At least this should allow for some customisation of how the
certificates and keys are created. We now have two sub-namespaces within
PKI so it should be more clear which options you have to set if you want
to either manage your own CA or let the module create it automatically.

Whenever the nixos-taskserver tool was invoked manually for creating an
organisation/group/user we now add an empty file called .imperative to
the data directory.
During the preStart of the Taskserver service, we use process-json which
in turn now checks whether those .imperative files exist and if so, it
doesn't do anything with it.
This should now ensure that whenever there is a manually created user,
it doesn't get killed off by the declarative configuration in case it
shouldn't exist within that configuration.
In addition, we also add a small subtest to check whether this is
happening or not and fail if the imperatively created user got deleted
by process-json.

We only print the output whenever there is an error, otherwise let's
shut it up because it only shows information the user can gather through
other means. For example by invoking certtool manually, or by just
looking at private key files (the whole blurb it's outputting is in
there as well).

We were putting the whole output of "nixos-taskserver export-user" from
the server to the respective client and on every such operation the
whole output was shown again in the test log.
Now we're *only* showing these details whenever a user import fails on
the client.

Now we finally can delete organisations, groups and users along with
certificate revocation. The new subtests now make sure that the client
certificate is also revoked (both when removing the whole organisation
and just a single user).
If we use the imperative way to add and delete users, we have to restart
the Taskserver in order for the CRL to be effective.
However, by using the declarative configuration we now get this for
free, because removing a user will also restart the service and thus its
client certificate will end up in the CRL.
Signed-off-by: aszlig <aszlig@redmoonstudios.org>
Unfortunately we don't have a better way to check whether the reload has
been done successfully, but at least we now *can* reload it without
figuring out the exact signal to send to the process.
Note that on reload, Taskserver will not reload the CRL file. For that
to work, a full restart needs to be done.
Signed-off-by: aszlig <aszlig@redmoonstudios.org>
If we want to revoke client certificates and want the server to actually
notice the revocation, we need to have a valid certificate revocation
list.
Right now the expiration_days is set to 10 years, but that's merely to
actually get certtool to actually generate the CRL without trying to
prompt for user input.

It doesn't do much harm to make the server certificate world readable,
because even though it's not accessible anymore via the file system,
someone can still get it by simply doing a TLS handshake with the
server.
So this is solely for consistency.

We now no longer have the stupid --service-helper option, which silences
messages about already existing organisations, users or groups.
Instead of that option, we now have a new subcommand called
"process-json", which accepts a JSON file directly from the specified
NixOS module options and creates/deletes the users accordingly.
Note that this still has a two issues left to solve in this area:
* Deletion is not supported yet.
* If a user is created imperatively, the next run of process-json will
delete it once deletion is supported.
So we need to implement deletion and a way to mark organisations, users
and groups as "imperatively managed".
Signed-off-by: aszlig <aszlig@redmoonstudios.org>
The Click functions really are for the command line and should be solely
used for that.
What I have in mind is that instead of that crappy --service-helper
argument, we should really have a new subcommand that is expecting JSON
which is directly coming from the services.taskserver.organisations
module option.
That way we can decrease even more boilerplate and we can also ensure
that organisations, users and groups get properly deleted if they're
removed from the NixOS configuration.
