Part of #49783. NextCloud tracks in its `config.php` the application's
state which makes it hard for the module to modify configurations during
upgrades.
It will take time until the issue is properly fixed, therefore we
decided to warn about this in the manual.
This PR addresses two things:
* Adding a basic example for nextcloud. I figured it to be helpful to
add some basic usage instructions when adding a new manual entry.
Advanced documentation may follow later.
For now this document actively links to the service options, so users
are guided to the remaining options that can be helpful in certain
cases.
* Add a warning about upgrades and manual changes in
`/var/lib/nextcloud`. This will be fixed in the future, but it's
definetely helpful to document the current issues in the manual (as
proposed in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/49783#issuecomment-439691127).

This allows, finally, proper detection when postgresql is ready to
accept connections. Until now, it was possible that services depending
on postgresql would fail in a race condition trying to connect
to postgresql.
ZFS's popularity is growing, and not including it by default is a
bit frustrating. On top of that, the base iso includes ZFS
_anyway_ due to other packages depending upon it.
I think we're in the clear to do this on the basis that Oracle
probably doesn't care, it is probably fine (the SFLC agrees) and
we're a small fish. If a copyright holder asks us to, we can
definitely revert it again.
This reverts commit 33d07c7ea9.
This fixes some quirks I introduced in previous commits.
1. No need for an extra newline when printing the output of shell commands.
2. 'or die' is what's already used in the NixOS test sources, while
'die unless' has no occurrences.
When reworking the rspamd workers I disallowed `proxy` as a type and
instead used `rspamd_proxy` which is the correct name for that worker
type. That change breaks peoples existing config and so I have made this
commit which allows `proxy` as a worker type again but makes it behave
as `rspamd_proxy` and prints a warning if you use it.
This commit adds an assertion that checks that either `configFile` or
`configuration` is configured for alertmanager. The alertmanager config
can not be an empty attributeset. The check executed with `amtool` fails
before the service even has the chance to start. We should probably not
allow a broken alertmanager configuration anyway.
This also introduces a test for alertmanager configuration that piggy
backs on the existing prometheus tests.
The nixos test is a bit misleading, as the given nginx configuration
would always cause gitlab to redirect to localhost, which is clearly not
what you want in a production setup.
Instead we now enable services.nginx.recommendedProxySettings,
curl against http://gitlab, and assure we get redirected to that same
hostname, too.
Previously I got the following error message:
```

Mininet (https://github.com/mininet/mininet) is a popular network emulator that
glues several components such as network namespaces, traffic control
commands into a set of python bindings. It is then "easy" to describe a
topology and run experiments on it.
The default of systemd is to kill the
the whole cgroup of a service. For slurmd
this means that all running jobs get killed
as well whenever the configuration is updated (and activated).
To avoid this behaviour we set "KillMode=process"
to kill only slurmd on reload. This is how
slurm configures the systemd service.

It's a quick approximation to unblock unstable channels after #48116.
This commit isn't ideal, as I suspect most wayland users won't have
xserver.enable, so they will lose the icon cache in case they had gtk
in system path (otherwise they didn't get cache anyway).
I considered using environment.noXlibs, but the nixos tests installing
headless systems do *not* get that option, so we would still be pulling
gtk in many cases where it's clearly not desired. We need to design
this more carefully.
Otherwise netdata will not find python modules.
To make sure netdata still pick up our setuid version of apps.plugin
we rename the original executable.
These days build systems are more robust w.r.t. to concurrency.
Most users will have at least two cores in their machines.
Therefore I suggest to increase the number of cores used for building.

Based on reports X wouldn't start out of the box and seems OK now.
In case there are still some problems, we can improve later.
I checked that nixos.tests.virtualbox.* still succeed.
This will make the list much easier to re-use, eg. for `nixosTests`
The drawback is that this approaches makes the
```
nix-build release.nix -A tests.opensmtpd.x86_64-linux
```
command about twice as slow (3s to 6s): it now has to evaluate `nixpkgs`
once for each architecture, instead of just having the hardcoded list of
tests that allowed to say “ok just evaluate for x86_64-linux”.
On the other hand, complete evaluation of `release.nix` should be much
faster because we no longer import `nixpkgs` for each test: testing with
the following command went from 30s to 18s, and that's just for a few
tests.
```
time nix-instantiate --eval --strict nixos/release.nix -A tests.nat
```
I initially wanted to test on the whole `release.nix`, but there are too
many broken tests and it takes too long to eval them all, especially
compared to the fact that the current implementation breaks some setup.
Given developers can just `nix-build nixos/tests/my-test.nix`, it sounds
like an overall win.
By using types.lines for 'config', we can specify monit configurations
in lots of modules and they can all be automatically combined together
with newlines. This is desireable because different modules might want
to each specify the small monitoring task specific to their service.
This commit also updates the module to use current idioms.
The `rmilter` module has options for configuring `postfix` to use it but
since that module is deprecated because rspamd now has a builtin worker
that supports the milter protocol this commit adds similar `postfix`
integration options directly to the `rspamd` module.

While this seems silly at first (it's already given as start parameter
to mysqld), it seems like xtrabackup needs that sometimes.
Without it, a Galera cluster cannot be run using the xtrabackup
replication method.
The lines stored in `extraConfig` and `worker.<name?>.extraConfig`
should take precedent over values from included files but in order to do
this in rspamd UCL they need to be stored in a file that then gets
included with a high priority. This commit uses the overrides option to
store the value of the two `extraConfig` options in `extra-config.inc`
and `worker-<name?>.inc` respectively.
When the workers option for rspamd was originally implemented it was
based on a flawed understanding of how workers are configured in rspamd.
This meant that while rspamd supports configuring multiple workers of
the same type, so that different controller workers could have different
passwords, the NixOS module did not support this because it would write
an invalid configuration file if you tried.
Specifically a configuration like the one below:
```
workers.controller = {};
workers.controller2 = {
type = "controller";
};
```
Would result in a rspamd configuration of:
```
worker {
type = "controller";
count = 1;
.include "$CONFDIR/worker-controller.inc"
}
worker "controller2" {
type = "controller";
count = 1;
}
```
While to get multiple controller workers it should instead be:
```
worker "controller" {
type = "controller";
count = 1;
.include "$CONFDIR/worker-controller.inc"
}
worker "controller" {
type = "controller";
count = 1;
}
```
When implementing #49620 I included an enable option for both the
locals and overrides options but the code writing the files didn't
actually look at enable and so would write the file regardless of its
value. I also set the type to loaOf which should have been attrsOf
since the code was not written to handle the options being lists.
This fixes both of those issues.
With `promtool` we can check the validity of a configuration before
deploying it. This avoids situations where you would end up with a
broken monitoring system without noticing it - since the monitoring
broke down. :-)
Gluster's pidfile handling is bug-ridden.
I have fixed https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1509340
in an attempt to improve it but that is far from enough.
The gluster developers describe another pidfile issue as
"our brick-process management is a total nightmare", see
f1071f17e0/xlators/mgmt/glusterd/src/glusterd-utils.c (L5907-L5924)
I have observed multiple cases where glusterd doesn't start correctly
and systemd doesn't notice because of the erroneous pidfile handling.
To improve the situation, we don't let glusterd daemonize itself any more
and instead use `--no-daemon` and the `Simple` service type.
Removes the old UI build tooling; it is no longer necessary
because as of 1.2.0 it's bundled into the server binary.
It doesn't even need to have JS built, because it's bundled into
the release commit's source tree (see #48714).
The UI is enabled by default, so the NixOS service is
updated to directly use `ui = webUi;` now.

Merging staging into staging-next even though we haven't merged staging-next into master yet.
The motivation for this merge is that it's been a while since we merged into master causing
the 3 branches to diverge too much.
This module permits to preload Docker image in a VM in order to reduce
OIs on file copies. This module has to be only used in testing
environments, when the test requires several Docker images such as in
Kubernetes tests. In this case,
`virtualisation.dockerPreloader.images` can replace the
`services.kubernetes.kubelet.seedDockerImages` options.
The idea is to populate the /var/lib/docker directory by mounting qcow
files (we uses qcow file to avoid permission issues) that contain images.
For each image specified in
config.virtualisation.dockerPreloader.images:
1. The image is loaded by Docker in a VM
2. The resulting /var/lib/docker is written to a QCOW file
This set of QCOW files can then be used to populate the
/var/lib/docker:
1. Each QCOW is mounted in the VM
2. Symlink are created from these mount points to /var/lib/docker
3. A /var/lib/docker/image/overlay2/repositories.json file is generated
4. The docker daemon is started.
Setting this variable in the environment of systemd-timedated allows
'timedatectl' to tell if an NTP service is running.

As reported by @andir, the regular expressions that match the sandbox

By default rspamd will look for multiple files in /etc/rspamd/local.d
and /etc/rspamd/override.d to be included in subsections of the merged
final config for rspamd. Most of the config snippets in the official
rspamd documentation are made to these files and so it makes sense for
NixOS to support them and this is what this commit does.
As part of rspamd 1.8.1 support was added for having custom Lua
rules stored in $LOCAL_CONFDIR/rspamd.local.lua which means that it is
now possible for NixOS to support such rules and so this commit also
adds support for this to the rspamd module.
hass will ignore the standard SIGTERM sent by systemd during stop/restart and we
then have to wait for the timeout after which systemd will forcefully kill the
process.
If instead if we send SIGINT, hass will shut down nicely.
There are many issues reported upstream about the inability to shut down/restart
and it is *supposed* to work with SIGTERM but doesn't.
`services.virtualisation.libvirtd.onShutdown` was previously unused.
While suspending a domain on host shutdown is the default, this commit
makes it so domains can be shut down, also.

Rationale
---------
Currently, tests are hard to discover. For instance, someone updating
`dovecot` might not notice that the interaction of `dovecot` with
`opensmtpd` is handled in the `opensmtpd.nix` test.
And even for someone updating `opensmtpd`, it requires manual work to go
check in `nixos/tests` whether there is actually a test, especially
given not so many packages in `nixpkgs` have tests and this is thus most
of the time useless.
Finally, for the reviewer, it is much easier to check that the “Tested
via one or more NixOS test(s)” has been checked if the file modified
already includes the list of relevant tests.
Implementation
--------------
Currently, this commit only adds the metadata in the package. Each
element of the `meta.tests` attribute is a derivation that, when it
builds successfully, means the test has passed (ie. following the same
convention as NixOS tests).
Future Work
-----------
In the future, the tools could be made aware of this `meta.tests`
attribute, and for instance a `--with-tests` could be added to
`nix-build` so that it also builds all the tests. Or a `--without-tests`
to build without all the tests. @Profpatsch described in his NixCon talk
such systems.
Another thing that would help in the future would be the possibility to
reasonably easily have cross-derivation nix tests without the whole
NixOS VM stack. @7c6f434c already proposed such a system.
This RFC currently handles none of these concerns. Only the addition of
`meta.tests` as metadata to be used by maintainers to remember to run
relevant tests.
Referencing modulesPath in NixOS configurations can cause evaluation
errors in restricted mode. If used as `${modulesPath}` (as in all
use-sites in nixpkgs) the modules subtree is copied into its own store
path. Access to this path will be forbidden in restricted mode.
Converting to a string solves this issue.
`${builtins.toString modulesPath}` will point to a subdirectory of the
nixpkgs tree out of which evalModules is called.
This change converts modulesPath to a string by default so that the
call-site doesn't have to anymore.
Previously, setting "privateNetwork = true" without specifying host and
local addresses would create unconfigured interfaces: ve-$INSTANCE on the host
and eth0 inside the container.
These changes is rebased part of the original PR #3021.
With this option enabled, before creating file/directories/symlinks in baseDir
according to configuration, old occurences of them are removed.
This prevents remainders of an old configuration (libraries, webapps, you name
it) from persisting after activating a new configuration.

Rootston is just a reference compositor so it doesn't make that much
sense to have a module for it. Upstream doesn't really like it as well:

Removing the package and the module shouldn't cause much problems
because it was marked as broken until
886131c243. If required the package can
still be accessed via wlroots.bin (could be useful for testing
purposes).

* Enable Cgroup delegation for nixos-containers
Delegate=yes should be set for container scopes where a systemd instance
inside the container shall manage the hierarchies below its own cgroup
and have access to all controllers.
This is equivalent to enabling all accounting options on the systemd
process inside the system container. This means that systemd inside
the container is responsible for managing Cgroup resources for
unit files that enable accounting options inside. Without this
option, units that make use of cgroup features within system
containers might misbehave
See original commit: https://github.com/NixOS/systemd/commit/a931ad47a8
from the manpage:
Turns on delegation of further resource control partitioning to
processes of the unit. Units where this is enabled may create and
manage their own private subhierarchy of control groups below the
control group of the unit itself. For unprivileged services (i.e.
those using the User= setting) the unit's control group will be made
accessible to the relevant user. When enabled the service manager
will refrain from manipulating control groups or moving processes
below the unit's control group, so that a clear concept of ownership
is established: the control group tree above the unit's control
group (i.e. towards the root control group) is owned and managed by
the service manager of the host, while the control group tree below
the unit's control group is owned and managed by the unit itself.
Takes either a boolean argument or a list of control group
controller names. If true, delegation is turned on, and all
supported controllers are enabled for the unit, making them
available to the unit's processes for management. If false,
delegation is turned off entirely (and no additional controllers are
enabled). If set to a list of controllers, delegation is turned on,
and the specified controllers are enabled for the unit. Note that
additional controllers than the ones specified might be made
available as well, depending on configuration of the containing
slice unit or other units contained in it. Note that assigning the
empty string will enable delegation, but reset the list of
controllers, all assignments prior to this will have no effect.
Defaults to false.
Note that controller delegation to less privileged code is only safe
on the unified control group hierarchy. Accordingly, access to the
specified controllers will not be granted to unprivileged services
on the legacy hierarchy, even when requested.
The following controller names may be specified: cpu, cpuacct, io,
blkio, memory, devices, pids. Not all of these controllers are
available on all kernels however, and some are specific to the
unified hierarchy while others are specific to the legacy hierarchy.
Also note that the kernel might support further controllers, which
aren't covered here yet as delegation is either not supported at all
for them or not defined cleanly.
In this update:
* binaries `ckb` and `ckb-daemon` are renamed to `ckb-next` and `ckb-next-daemon`
* build system changed from qmake to cmake
* the directory searched for animation plugins no longer needs to be patched, as a result of the build system change
* modprobe patch has been bumped, since the source repository layout has changed
* the cmake scripts are quite FHS-centric and require patching to fix install locations
Nixpkgs' channel currently can't move forward so long as there is a
trace in evaluating the top-level arguments. Which means that it isn't
possible to add a warning message to warn users of future package
removal.
So the only way forward appears to be just removing the alias
altogether.

NixOS scripts should be kept in the NixOS source tree, not in
pkgs. Moving them around is just confusing and creates unnecessary
code/history churn.
Move all the nixos-* scripts from the nixos distribution as real
packages in the pkgs/ package set.
This allows non-nixos users to run the script as well. For example,
deploying a remote machine with:
nixos-rebuild --target-host root@hostname --build-host root@hostname
A module for security options that are too small to warrant their own module.
The impetus for adding this module is to make it more convenient to override
the behavior of the hardened profile wrt user namespaces.
Without a dedicated option for user namespaces, the user needs to
1) know which sysctl knob controls userns
2) know how large a value the sysctl knob needs to allow e.g.,
Nix sandbox builds to work
In the future, other mitigations currently enabled by the hardened profile may
be promoted to options in this module.
This option represents the ZNC configuration as a Nix value. It will be
converted to a syntactically valid file. This provides:
- Flexibility: Any ZNC option can be used
- Modularity: These values can be set from any NixOS module and will be
merged correctly
- Overridability: Default values can be overridden
Also done:
Remove unused/unneeded options, mkRemovedOptionModule unfortunately doesn't work
inside submodules (yet). The options userName and modulePackages were never used
to begin with
The system variable is used from the (possibly polluted) shell
environment.
This causes nixos-install to fail in a nix-shell because the system
shell variable is automatically set to the current system (e.g.
x86_64-linux).

Dummy display manager that allows running X as a normal user.
The X server is started manually from a vt using `startx`.
Session startup commands must be provided by the user
in ~/.xinitrc, which is NOT automatically generated.
`nixos-option` basically handles two cases: the given option is either a
valid option defined using `mkOption` or an attribute set which contains
a set of options.
If none of the above cases is valid, `$1` is invalid. Unfortunatley the
script interpreted invalid options as an attribute set which rendered
shell failures when trying to evaluate the arguments.
First of all, `if names=$(attrNames ...)` resulted in `<PRIMOP>` as
`attrNames` simply evaluated `builtins.attrNames $result` which results
in a non-applied function with `$result` being empty. Trying to map over
this string using `nixMap` while applying `escapeQuotes` causes the bash
error as `eval echo "<PRIMOP>"` is invalid syntax.
Explicitly checking if `$result' contains a value (do we have an
attribute set?) and otherwise returning a warning and asking if $option
exists fixes the problem.

any build commands to the nix daemon of the host operating system.
This already works for non-root users inside a nixos-container,
as it doesn't 'own' the nix-store, and thus defaults
to talking to the daemon socket at /nix/var/nix/daemon-socket/,
which is bind-mounted to the host daemon-socket, causing all nix
commands to be delegated to the host.
However, when we are the root user inside the container, we have the
same uid as the nix store owner, eventhough it's not actually
the same root user (due to user namespaces). Nix gets confused,
and is convinced it's running in single-user mode, and tries
to modify the nix store directly instead.
By setting `NIX_REMOTE=daemon` in `/etc/profile`, we force nix
to operate in multi-user mode, so that it will talk to the host
daemon instead, which will modify the nix store for the container.
This fixes#40355
Several service definitions used `mkEnableOption` with text starting
with "Whether to", which produced funny option descriptions like
"Whether to enable Whether to run the rspamd daemon..".
This commit corrects this, and adds short descriptions of services
to affected service definitions.
The problem was that the non-fatal warning was not omitted
from the output when constructing a nix expression.
Now it seems OK for me. When return code is OK,
the warnings don't get passed anywhere, but I expect
that won't matter for this utility. Fatal errors are still shown.
The tests in <nixos/tests/installer.nix> are using `parted`, so they are
bound to be better tested than `fdisk`.
This is brought on by a couple issues, plus reports on IRC that the
`fdisk` instructions didn't work as expected.

Care was taken so that the other documented steps did not need changes.
In all this kerfufle, a slight re-organization of the Chapter has been
made, allowing better deep linking.
While it seemingly brings more attention to the macOS notes with the
default docbook template, it better represents which parts of the
section are about macOS, and which parts are simply in the flow of the
text; otherwise the last paragraph may be lost into the details for
macOS.
as using /var/run now emits a warning by systemd's tmpfiles.d.
As /var/run is already a symlink to /run, this can't break anything, and
data does not need to be migrated.
The autoupgrade service defined in `system.autoUpgrade`
(`nixos/modules/installer/tools/auto-upgrade.nix`) doesn't have `su` in
its path and thus yields a warning during the `daemon-reload`.
Specifying the absolute path fixes the issue.
Fixes#47648
From commit b63f65aea0dea11c20e9299210af1d2ee4299b58:
I used tmpfiles.d instead of activation snippets to create the logs.
It's good enough for upstream and other distros; it's probably good
enough for us.
The "reboot-wtmp" subtest fails because it it assumes that there is a
reboot record even on the initial boot. This is only the case if wtmp is
created within the activation script, but the implementation now uses
tmpfiles.d, so the creation of the file is done at a much later stage.
Apart from that, if you think about the state after the installation as
"first boot", using the term "reboot" wouldn't probably make sense
either.
So in our subtest, we now reboot the machine and check the wtmp record
afterwards as we did before.

The init script slightly differs depending on which shell is in use.
So for bash it should be in the interactiveShellInit as well.
In this case we don't need a mkIf as `bash` is enabled by default
on NixOS.
We use `127.0.1.1` instead of `127.0.0.1` because some applications will fail if
`127.0.0.1` resolves to something other than `localhost`.
Debian does the same.
See #1248 and #36261.
Since `networking.hosts` is properly typed all of that magic `/etc/hosts` generator
does can be dropped. People that disagree with the value of `networking.hosts` can
simply `mkForce`.
The improved lspci command shows all available ethernet controllers and
their kernel modules. Previously, the user had to provide the slot name
of a specific device.
This is necessary when system-wide dconf settings must be configured, i.e. to
disable GDM's auto-suspending of the machine when no user is logged in.
