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 also adds a comment to each rule about the associated exporter.

Since 4f6df27aee, nix.useSandbox defaults
to true which causes the Nix build within the containers-imperative test
to fail while trying to hardlink files into the chroot:
link("/nix/store/foo", "/nix/store/bar.drv.chroot/nix/store/foo")
= -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted)
The reason this happens is that the hosts store is mounted using 9p and
an overlayfs is mounted on top, so even if we would disable the tmpfs
for the upper directory the hardlink would still cross filesystem
boundaries, which then fails with the above error code.
I haven't yet seen any other test which fails in a similar way, which
might be because building within VM tests is not very common and the
installer tests build in a separate store, so they're not affected.

`ocserv` is a VPN server which follows the openconnect protocol
(https://github.com/openconnect/protocol). The packaging is slightly
inspired by the AUR version
(https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ocserv/).
This patch initializes the package written in C, the man pages and a
module for a simple systemd unit to run the VPN server. The package
supports the following authentication methods for the server:
* `plain` (mostly username/password)
* `pam`
The third method (`radius`) is currently not supported since `nixpkgs`
misses a packaged client.
The module can be used like this:
``` nix
{
services.ocserv = {
enable = true;
config = ''
...
'';
};
}
```
The option `services.ocserv.config` is required on purpose to
ensure that nobody just enables the service and experiences unexpected
side-effects on the system. For a full reference, please refer to the
man pages, the online docs or the example value.
The docs recommend to simply use `nobody` as user, so no extra user has
been added to the internal user list. Instead a configuration like
this can be used:
```
run-as-user = nobody
run-as-group = nogroup
```

Fixes#42594
The default session might be found in `extraSessionFilePackages`, but it's not
viable to detect at evaluation time, so emit a warning.
In LightDM instead of checking `defaultSessionName` against
`displayManager.session.names` we rely on the assertions in
`desktopManager` and `windowMananger` and just check that there's at least one
default set. The second assertion could never actually be triggered.
This makes it easier to support a wider variety of .desktop session files. In
particular this makes it possible to use both the «legacy» sessions and upstream
session files.
We separate `xsession` into two parts, `xsessionWrapper` and `xsession`.
`xsessionWrapper` sets up the correct environment and then lauches the session's
Exec command (from the .desktop file), falling back to launching the default
window/desktopManager through the `xsession` script (required by at least some
nixos tests).
`xsession` then _only_ handles launching desktop-managers/window-managers defined
through `services.xserver.desktopManager.session`.
Pass gnome-session to extraSessionFilePackages, remove unnecessary environment variables, move the rest out of old session option, and then drop the option.
GPaste GNOME Shell extension uses GPaste library generated via introspection. Previously, we added the gpaste package to services.xserver.desktopManager.gnome3.sessionPath option, which
added its typelib directory to GI_TYPELIB_PATH environment variable globally, in order for GNOME Shell to be able to find it. This is not very Nix-y, though, so we have decided to patch the code to
append the path to the GI repository search path.
Additionally, the code relies on GPaste’s GSettings schemas, so we had to hard-code the paths to them as well. We ignored the GNOME Shell’s schemas, since they will already be available for the
extension inside GNOME Shell program.
Previously, the mkDesktops function produced a flat package containing
session files in the top level. As a preparation for introduction of
Wayland sessions, the files will now be placed to $out/share/xsessions.
It seems like Gitlab doesn't pick up GITLAB_UPLOADS_PATH. The internal uploads
folder is already symlinked to /run/gitlab/uploads by the gitlab package. Here
we symlink this further to ${statePath}/uploads, since /run is (usually) a tmpfs.
* The ELK stack is upgraded to 6.3.2.
* `elasticsearch6`, `logstash6` and `kibana6` now come with X-Pack which is
a suite of additional features. These are however licensed under the unfree
"Elastic License".
* Fortunately they also provide OSS versions which are now packaged
under: `elasticsearch6-oss`, `logstash6-oss` and `kibana6-oss`.
Note that the naming of the attributes is consistent with upstream.
* The test `nix-build nixos/tests/elk.nix -A ELK-6` will test the OSS
version by default. You can also run the test on the unfree ELK using:
`NIXPKGS_ALLOW_UNFREE=1 nix-build nixos/tests/elk.nix -A ELK-6 --arg enableUnfree true`
This reverts commit 095fe5b43d.
Pointless renames considered harmful. All they do is force people to
spend extra work updating their configs for no benefit, and hindering
the ability to switch between unstable and stable versions of NixOS.
Like, what was the value of having the "nixos." there? I mean, by
definition anything in a NixOS module has something to do with NixOS...
