The instructions to install nixos behind a proxy were not clear. While
one could guess that setting http_proxy variables can get the install
rolling, one could end up with an installed system where the proxy
settings for the nix-daemon are not configured.
This commit updates the documentation with
1. steps to install behind a proxy
2. configure the global proxy settings so that nix-daemon can access
internet.
3. Pointers to use nesting.clone in case one has to use different proxy
settings on different networks.
Since 1b11fdd0df the test VM
depends on some extra packages to build the system to be installed.
This broke the installer test as it tried to download/build these
packages in a sandbox.
Switch from slim to lightdm as the display-manager.
If plasma5 is used as desktop-manager use sdddm.
If gnome3 is used as desktop-manager use gdm.
Based on #12516
The recommended TLS configuration comes with `ssl_stapling on` and
`ssl_stapling_verify on`. However, this last directive also requires
the use of `ssl_trusted_certificate` to verify the received answer.
When using `enableACME` or similar, we can help the user by providing
the correct value for the directive.
The result can be tested with:
openssl s_client -connect web.example.com:443 -status 2> /dev/null
Without OCSP stapling, we get:

A shared exported guard `__NIXOS_SET_ENVIRONMENT_DONE` is introduced that can
be used to prevent child shells from sourcing `system.build.setEnvironment`
the second time.
This fixes e.g. `nix run derivation` when run from e.g. ZSH through the console or
ssh. Before this Bash would resource the common environment resetting the `PATH`
environment variable.
We also export `system.build.setEnvironment` to `/etc/set-environment` making it
easy to reset the common environment with `. /etc/set-environment` when
needed and to grep for environment variables in `/etc` (which was the
motivation of #30418).
This reverts changes made in b00a3fc6fd
(the original #30418).
This allows one to add rules which change a packet's routing table:
iptables -t raw -I PREROUTING 1 -m set --match-set myset src -j MARK --set-mark 2
ip rule add fwmark 2 table 1 priority 1000
ip route add default dev wg0 table 1
to the beginning of raw table PREROUTING chain, and still have rpfilter.
DefaultTimeoutStartSec is normally set to 90 seconds and works fine. But
when running NixOS tests on a very slow machine (like a VM without
nested virtualisation support) this default is to low and causes
systemd units to fail spuriously. One symptom of this issue are tests
at times failing with "timed out waiting for the VM to connect".
Since the VM connect timeout is 300 seconds I also set
DefaultTimeoutStartSec to this which is ridiculously high.
The background color option is self-explanatory.
The mode is either `normal` or `stretch`, they are as defined by GRUB,
where normal will put the image in the top-left corner of the menu, and
stretch is the default, where it stretches the image without
consideration for the aspect ratio.

The wallpaper used is *structurally compatible* with the other one,
meaning that the logo is at the same location, and not bigger.
It has one drawback: the logo is brighter, which clashes with the grub
usage. This is to be fixed with new options in grub.
- default coreutils is stripped of /share/ (11 -> 2 MiB)
- coreutils-full retains /share/ and adds openssl for faster *sum tools
- NixOS systemPackages contains coreutils-full
- *Support parameter defaults are moved inside
(it seemed confusing to have `? false` and "at once" with `? isLinux`)
Closure considerations:
+ typical build-time closure will get lighter by ~9 MiB
- typical closure of NixOS installation will grow by ~2 MiB,
due to referring to both versions. I think it would be possible to
re-use most of the utils between the two versions, but the expression
would get much more complex.
I considered having stdenv with minimal coreutils and the default
`coreutils` attribute being full, but it turned out there were too many
trivial references in nixpkgs, so it didn't seem easy to keep rebuild
impact of openssl from growing significantly.
The additions are:
- image/svg+xml for SVG images
- application/atom+xml for Atom feeds
These types are also present in mime.types. For better readability,
the list is sorted and formatted with one type per line.
The test sporadically failed on hydra when a request was made
before the service was actually listening on its port.
Explicitly wait for the port to open.
Since matrix-synapse 0.33.0 underscores in server names are rejected
by server name validation, causing the test to fail:
valueError: Server name 'server_sqlite' contains invalid characters

- wait for node to listen before starting munin-cron
- increase timeout for munin-cron startup
- disable a failing plugin to remove irrelevant error message
This prevents issues when gitea adds new locales etc. And if they
change locale values in future versions. Or if you rollback to a
previous version of gitea it might be a good idea to use the previous
locale files.
This is a 277K (as of right now) addition that can greatly help in some
last recourse scenarios. The specific rEFInd setup will not be able to
boot the installer image, but this is not why it has been added. It has
been added to make use of its volumes scanning capabilities to boot
existing EFI images on the target computer, which is sometimes necessary
with buggy EFI. While is isn't NixOS's job to fix buggy EFI, shipping
this small bit with the installer will help the unlucky few.
Example scenario: two wildly different EFI implementation I have
encountered have fatal flaws in which they sometimes will lose all the
settings, this includes boot configuration. This is compounded by the
fact that the two specific and distinct implementation do not allow
manually adding ESP paths from their interface. The only recourse is to
let the EFI boot the default paths, EFI/boot/boot{platform}.efi, which
is not a default location used by the NixOS bootloaders. rEFInd is able
to scan the volumes and detect the existing efi bootloaders, and boot
them successfully.
Following up https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/23665
Bootable USB-drives are not limited to ISO-images, there can be "normal" MBR/GPT-partitioned disk connected via USB-rack.
Also, "uas" implies "usb-storage", so there is no need to mention both.
thermald has two modes: zero-config and manual. Sometimes it is useful
to manually configure thermald to achieve better thermal results or to give
thermald a hand when detecting possible cooling options.
I broke it:
in job ‘nixos.iso_graphical.x86_64-linux’:
The option `services.udisks2.enable' has conflicting definitions, in `/nix/store/bwcjw1ddj94q83vbbnq1nnrs5aisaw59-source/nixos/modules/profiles/installation-device.nix' and `/nix/store/bwcjw1ddj94q83vbbnq1nnrs5aisaw59-source/nixos/modules/services/x11/desktop-managers/plasma5.nix'.
And don't need to source the uevent files anymore either since $MAJOR
or $MINOR aren't used elsewhere.
[dezgeg: The reason these are no longer needed is that 0d27df280f
switched /tmp to a devtmpfs which automatically creates such device
nodes]
When rebuilding you have to manually run `systemctl --user
daemon-reload`. It gathers all authenticated users using
`loginctl list-user` and runs `daemon-reload` for each of them.
This is a first step towards a `nixos-rebuild` which is able to reload
user units from systemd. The entire task is fairly hard, however I
consider this patch usable as it allows to restart units without running
`daemon-reload` for each authenticated user.
This bumps Hydra to the latest revision available. As Hydra doesn't have
a release model (and therefore no tags) ATM, the derivation will pin
against the actual git revision and the date of the commit in the
derivation name.
Additionally the following changes have been made:
* Dropped `postUnpack` phase. It is useful when working with the Hydra
source (and no dirty changes shall be used in `release.nix`, but is has
no use in `nixpkgs`).
* Added myself as maintainer to have more folks available in case of
future breakage.
* Implemented support for Nix 2.0 and `unstable` (currently 2.1):
Since 1672bcd230447f1ce0c3291950bdd9a662cee974 in NixOS/nix the
evaluator differentiates between `settings` and `evalSettings`.
Previously `restrictEval` in `hydra-eval-jobs.cc` has been set in
`settings`, this doesn't work anymore in Nix 2.1 and is therefore
incompatible to Nix 2.0 on an API level.
To resolve this, the flag `isGreaterNix20` parses the version string
of `pkgs.nix` and applies a patch if nix.version<=2.0.
Furthermore the Hydra build with Nix 2.1 requires `boost` as build input
which is not needed for Nix 2.0. To avoid unnecessary increase in the
closure size this library will only used as build input for
nix.version>2.0.
* Fixed the NixOS test for `hydra`:
disabled binary cache to allow sandbox builds (otherwise it would
query `cache.nixos.org` during the Hydra build inside the test).
Additionally the trivial.nix jobset required simplification (as done
in NixOS/hydra, e.g. tests/api-test.nix) as bash is not available in
the build sandbox as builder (even when adding pkgs.bash to
systemPackages).
The easiest workaround to confirm a the functionality of a jobset
without importing nixpkgs is to use the default shell /bin/sh which
is mounted from `pkgs.busybox` into the build env
(https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/44841#discussion_r209751972) in the
VM and a named pipe to create $out.
Closes#44044
This fixes an issue where setting both
`boot.loader.systemd-boot.editor` to `false` and
`boot.loader.systemd-boot.consoleMode` to any value would concatenate
the two configuration lines in the output, resulting in an invalid
`loader.conf`.
Since a9d69a74d6, the passphrase prompt
now no longer starts with "Enter passphrase for" but now it's just
"Passphrase for", which causes the luksroot installer test to fail.
I've tested this on a x86_64-linux machine and the test now succeeds.

Issue: #29441
This allows the user to add `wpa_supplicant` config options not yet supported by Nix without having to write the entire `wpa_supplicant.conf` file manually.
Introduces an option `services.datadog-agent.extraIntegrations` that
can be set to include additional Datadog agent integrations from the
integrations-core repository.
Documentation and an example is provided with the change.
Relates to NixOS/nixpkgs#40399
Refactors the datadog-agent (i.e. V6) module to let users configure
arbitrary checks, not just a limited set, without having to resort to
linking the files manually and updating the systemd unit.
Checks are now configured via a `services.datadog-agent.checks` option
which takes an attribute set in which the keys refer directly to
Datadog check names, and the values are attribute sets representing
Datadog's configuration structure.
With this mechanism users can configure arbitrary integrations, for
example for the `ntp`-check, simply by saying:
services.datadog-agent.checks.ntp = {
init_config = null;
# ... other check configuration options as per Datadog
# documentation
};
The previous check-specific configuration options for non-default
checks have been removed. Disk & network check configuration options
have been kept rather than making them a `default`-value of the
`checks`-option because they will be overridden by user-configurations
in that case.
Relates to NixOS/nixpkgs#40399.
From reading the source I'm pretty sure it doesn't support multiple Yubikeys, hence
those options are useless.
Also, I'm pretty sure nobody actually uses this feature, because enabling it causes
extra utils' checks to fail (even before applying any patches of this branch).
As I don't have the hardware to test this, I'm too lazy to fix the utils, but
I did test that with extra utils checks commented out and Yubikey
enabled the resulting script still passes the syntax check.
Also reuse common cryptsetup invocation subexpressions.
- Passphrase reading is done via the shell now, not by cryptsetup.
This way the same passphrase can be reused between cryptsetup
invocations, which this module now tries to do by default (can be
disabled).
- Number of retries is now infinity, it makes no sense to make users
reboot when they fail to type in their passphrase.
Some modules of cloud-init can cope with a network not immediately
available (notably, the EC2 module), but some others won't retry if
network is not available (notably, the Cloudstack module).
network.target doesn't give much guarantee about the network
availability. Applications not able to start without a fully
configured network should be ordered after network-online.target.
Also see #44573 and #44524.
We override the ESP mount point in the config file /etc/fwupd/uefi.conf
(available since version 1.0.6), as it is set to a path in the nix store
during build time.
Tests are disabled as it needs /etc/os-release, which is not available
when building with sandboxing enabled.
In the last year `programs.oh-my-zsh` gained more complexity and since
the introduction of features like `customPkgs` which builds a
`ZSH_CUSTOM` path from a sequence of derivation a documentation may be
fairly helpful to make the knowledge how to use the module and how to
package new ZSH plugins visible.
See https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/43282#issuecomment-410770432
First change is to override the nm-dispatcher systemd service so that
it puts coreutils (wc/env/...) and iproute in PATH.
Second change is to make sure userscripts have the execute bit.
This allows a developer to better identify in which snippet the
failure happened. Furthermore, users seeking help will have more
information available about the failure.
This reverts a change applied in PR #18491. When interfaces are
configured by DHCP (typical in a cloud environment), ordering after
network.target cause trouble to applications expecting some network to
be present on boot (for example, cloud-init is quite brittle when
network hasn't been configured for `cloud-init.service`) and on
shutdown (for example, collectd needs to flush metrics on shutdown).
When ordering after network.target, we ensure applications relying on
network.target won't have any network reachability on boot and
potentially on shutdown.
Therefore, I think ordering before network.target is better.
If multiple third-party modules shall be used for `oh-my-zsh` it has to
be possible to create another env which composes all the packages.
Now it can be done like this:
```
{ pkgs, ... }:
{
programs.zsh.enable = true;
programs.zsh.ohMyZsh = {
enable = true;
customPkgs = with pkgs; [
lambda-mod-zsh-theme
nix-zsh-completions
];
theme = "lambda-mod";
plugins = [ "nix" ];
};
}
```
Please keep in mind that this is not compatible with
`programs.zsh.ohMyZsh.custom`, only one of these options can be used
ATM.
Each package should store its outputs into
`$out/share/zsh/<output-name>`. Completions (and ZSH-only) extensions
should live in the `fpath` (`$out/share/zsh/site-functions`), plugins in
`.../plugins` and themes in `.../themes` (please refer to
fdb6bf6ed68c2f089ae6c729dfeaa3eddea2ce6a and 406d64aad162b3a4881747be4e24705fb5182573).
All scripts in `customPkgs` will be linked together using `linkFarm` to
provide a single directory for all scripts from all derivations in
`customPkgs` as suggested in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/43282#issuecomment-410396365.
The web_access.patch would no longer apply.
It disabled a check that required the static files
for the web UI to be owned by the user the daemon runs as
(not root, so it doesn't work well with nix).
Besides updating netdata, this commit removes that patch,
changes the netdata service config to set the "web files owner/group"
option to "root" and adds a test that checks that the web UI is being served.
This allows the web files to be owned by root without patching.
Broke evaluation of the nixos options.
The option `services.dysnomia' defined in `.../nixos/modules/rename.nix' does not exist.
This reverts commit 5c897b4eff.
