Addresses another concern by @edolstra that users might not want to
update *all* channels. We're now reverting to the old behaviour but
after updating the "nixos" channel, we just check whether the channel
ships with a file called ".update-on-nixos-rebuild" and if it exists, we
update that channel as well.
Other channels than these are not touched anymore.

My original reason to put it at the beginning of NIX_PATH was to allow
shipping a particular version <nixpkgs> with a channel. But in order to
do that, we can still let the channel expression ship with a custom
version of nixpkgs by something like <channel/nixpkgs> and the builder
of the channel could also rewrite self-references.
So the inconvenience is now shifted towards the maintainer of the
channel rather than the user (which isn't nice, but better err on the
side of the developer rather than on the user), because as @edolstra
pointed out: Having the channels of root at the beginning of NIX_PATH
could have unintended side-effects if there a channel called nixpkgs.

Should make it even easier to use custom channels, because whenever the
user does a "nixos-rebuild --upgrade", it will also upgrade possibly
used ("used" as in referenced in configuration.nix) channels besides
"nixos". And if you also ship a channel tied to a particular version of
nixpkgs or even remove the "nixos" channels, you won't run into
unexpected situations where the system is not updating your custom
channels.
Signed-off-by: aszlig <aszlig@redmoonstudios.org>
This is very useful if you want to distribute channels (and thus
expressions as well) in a similar fashion to Debians APT sources (or
PPAs or whatnot).
So, for example if you have a channel with some additional functions
or packages, you simply add that channel with:
sudo nix-channel --add https://example.com/my-nifty-channel foo
And you can access that channel using <foo>, for example in your
configuration.nix:
{
imports = [ <foo/modules/shiny-little-module> ];
environment.systemPackages = with import <foo/pkgs> {}; [ bar blah ];
services.udev.extraRules = import <foo/lib/udev/mkrule.nix> {
kernel = "eth*";
attr.address = "00:1D:60:B9:6D:4F";
name = "my_fast_network_card";
};
}
Within nixpkgs, we shouldn't have <nixos> used anywhere anymore, so we
shouldn't get into conflicts.

If a kernel without CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER set is used with NixOS, the file
/proc/sys/kernel/hotplug does not exist. Before writing to it to disable
this deprecated mechanism, we have to ensure it actually exists because
otherwise the activation script will fail.

This patch resolves all uid/gid conflicts except for nobody/nogroup (seems

All conflicts where determined mechanically, but resolutions were manual.
This patch also marks uids/gids with no corresponding group/user as "unused"

The tss group id conflicts with dhcpcd: assign
a new number and add a corresponding tss user.
- elasticsearch uid conflicts with haproxy gid
- resolve firebird/munin conflict
- fix fourstorehttp{,d} typo
- fix ghostOne typo: the service module refers to gids.ghostone, so use that
in ids
- memcached uid conflicts with users gid
- nagios uid conflicts with disks gid
- nscd uid conflicts with wheel gid
- ntp uid conflicts with tty gid
- resolve postfix/postdrop id uid
- redis uid conflicts with keys gid
- sshd uid conflicts with kmem gid
- tcryptd uid conflicts with openldap gid
- unifi uid conflicts with docker gid
- uptimed uid conflicts with utmp gid
- zope2 uid conflicts with connman gid

With the new evaluation of arguments, pkgs is now defined by the

This creates the __internal option namespace, which should only be added
to by the module system itself.

Since we restart all active target units (of which there are many),
it's hard to see the units that actually matter. So don't print that
we're starting target units that are already active.
‘nixos-rebuild dry-activate’ builds the new configuration and then
prints what systemd services would be stopped, restarted etc. if the
configuration were actually activated. This could be extended later to
show other activation actions (like uids being deleted).
To prevent confusion, ‘nixos-rebuild dry-run’ has been renamed to
‘nixos-rebuild dry-build’.

When starting from a clean slate, the couchdb service fails.
First, the pre-start script fails because it tries to chown the uriFile,
which doesn't exist. It also doesn't ensure that the directory in which
the uriFIle is placed is writeable by couchdb, which could also cause
failure (though I didn't observe this).
Additionally, the log file's default location isn't a directory owned by
couchdb, nor is the file guaranteed to exist, nor is it guaranteed to be
chowned to the appropriate user. All of which can cause unexpected
failure.
As a bonus I made a small change in the description of the configFile
attribute, in the hopes of making it a little more obvious why it

that from the subnode, because we lack that information about whether
it's defined multiple times) and if the subnode consist entirely of a

This reverts commit 766207ca1d.
We need to solve the problem with `environment.profileRelativeEnvVars`.
The best workaround is to make profileRelativeEnvVars prepend paths.
This patch fixes the AppArmor profile path clause and adds
(currently ignored) network rules.
The AppArmor profile used to be defined for the path sbin/dnscrypt-proxy,
but the real path is bin/dnscrypt-proxy (due to sbin now being a symlink
to bin), which permitted the service to run unconfined.
Adding the network rules has no effect other than improving correctness,
as the version of AppArmor in the NixOS kernel fails to enforce network
rules.
postfix 2.11 is much more humane with respect to disk writes since it uses

Added configurations to `bumblebee` package to easy multiple monitors on Optimus

During install, the bootloader script gets run inside a chroot after the

IMHO, having a short timeout (1h) defeats the point of using

Because we have to rely on setuid wrappers on NixOS, we can't easily
hardcode the executable paths and set it 4755. So for all calls, we need
to change the runtime path executable directory to /var/setuid-wrappers/

Also note, that usually VBoxNetAdpCtl, VBoxNetDHCP, VBoxNetNAT, VBoxSDL
and VBoxVolInfo don't reside in directories that are commonly in PATH,
but in /usr/lib/virtualbox in most mainstream distros. But because the
names of these executables are distinctive enough to not cause
collisions with other setuid programs, I'll leave it like that and not
patch up setuid-wrappers.

- Create lxc-container nixos config using container nixos profile
- Docker nixos image, use nixos profile for its base config
The default configuration installed the Bitstream Vera fonts, but DejaVu
is a superior replacement, and the default Fontconfig settings need it
now for the generic faces monospace, sans-serif, and serif.
Details:
* The option `fonts.fontconfig.ultimate.enable` can be used to disable
the fontconfig-ultimate configuration.
* The user-configurable options provided by fontconfig-ultimate are
exposed in the NixOS module: `allowBitmaps` (default: true),
`allowType1` (default: false), `useEmbeddedBitmaps` (default: false),
`forceAutohint` (default: false), `renderMonoTTFAsBitmap` (default:
false).
* Upstream provides three substitution modes for substituting TrueType
fonts for Type 1 fonts (which do not render well). The default,
"free", substitutes free fonts for Type 1 fonts. The option "ms"
substitutions Microsoft fonts for Type 1 fonts. The option "combi"
uses a combination of Microsoft and free fonts. Substitutions can also
be disabled.
* All 21 of the Infinality rendering modes supported by fontconfig-ultimate
or by the original Infinality distribution can be selected through
`fonts.fontconfig.ultimate.rendering`. The default is the medium style
provided by fontconfig-ultimate. Any of the modes may be customized,
or Infinality rendering can be disabled entirely.
Details:
* The option `fonts.enableFontConfig` has (finally) been renamed
`fonts.fontconfig.enable`.
* Configurations are loaded in this order: first the Fontconfig-upstream
configuration is loaded, then the NixOS-specific font directories are
set, the system-wide default configuration is loaded, and finally the
user configuration is loaded (if enabled).
* The NixOS options `fonts.fontconfig.defaultFonts.monospace`,
`fonts.fontconfig.defaultFonts.sansSerif` and
`fonts.fontconfig.defaultFonts.serif` are added to allow setting the
default system-wide font used for these generic faces. The defaults
are the appropriate faces from the DejaVu collection because of their
comprehensive Unicode coverage, clean rendering, and excellent
legibility.
* The NixOS option `fonts.fontconfig.antialias` can be used to disable
antialiasing (it is enabled by default).
* The options `fonts.fontconfig.subpixel.rgba` and
`fonts.fontconfig.subpixel.lcdfilter` control the system-wide default
settings for subpixel order and LCD filtering algorithm,
respectively.
* `fonts.fontconfig.hinting.enable` can be used to disable TrueType font
hinting (it is enabled by default).
`fonts.fontconfig.hinting.autohint` controls the FreeType autohinter.
`fonts.fontconfig.hinting.style` controls the hint style; it is "full"
by default.
* User configurations can be disabled system-wide by setting
`fonts.fontconfig.includeUserConf = false`. They are enabled by
default so users can set Fontconfig options in the desktop environment
of their choice.

Using primusrun will work as expected in a multilib environment. Even if the initial program
executes a antoehr program of the another architecture. Assuming the program does not modify
LD_LIBRARY_PATH inappropriately.
This does not update virtualgl for seemless multilib. I was unable to get a mixed 64/32 bit
environment to work with VirtualGL. The mechanism VirtualGL uses to inject the fake GL library would
fail if both 32bit and 64 bit libraries were in the environment. Instead the bumblebee package
creates a optirun32 executable that can be used to run a 32bit executable with optimus on a 64 bit
host. This is not created if the host is 32bit.
For my usage, gaming under wine, the primusrun executable works as expected regardless of
32bit/64bit.
VirtualBox with hardening support requires the main binaries to be
setuid root. Using VBOX_WITH_RUNPATH, we ensure that the RPATHs are
pointing to the libexec directory and we also need to unset
VBOX_WITH_ORIGIN to make sure that the build system is actually setting
those RPATHs.
The hardened.patch implements two things:
* Set the binary directory to the setuid-wrappers dir so that
VboxSVC calls them instead of the binaries from the store path. The
reason behind this is because nothing in the Nix store can have the
setuid flag.
* Excempt /nix/store from the group permission check, because while it
is group-writeable indeed it also has the sticky bit set (and also
the whole store is mounted read-only on most NixOS systems), so we're
checking on that as well.
Right now, the hardened.patch uses /nix/store and /var/setuid-wrappers
directly, so someone would ever want to change those on a NixOS system,
please provide a patch to set those paths on build time. However, for
simplicity, it's best to do it when we _really_ need it.

We will simply rename the previous module and add a warning whenever the
module is included directly, pointing the user to the right option and
also enable it as well (in case somebody has missed the option and is
wondering why VirtualBox doesn't work anymore).

Especially new users could be confused by this, so we're now marking
services.virtualbox.enable as obsolete and defaulting to
services.virtualboxGuest.enable instead. I believe this now makes it
clear, that this option is for guest additions only.

This is needed when /etc/resolv.conf is being overriden by networkd
and other configurations. If the file is destroyed by an environment
activation then it must be rebuilt so that applications which interface
with /etc/resolv.conf directly don't break.
There currently are collisions between the main CUPS package and the
filters package, which are:
* $storepath/share/cups/banners/classified
* $storepath/share/cups/banners/confidential
* $storepath/share/cups/banners/secret
* $storepath/share/cups/banners/standard
* $storepath/share/cups/banners/topsecret
* $storepath/share/cups/banners/unclassified
* $storepath/share/cups/data/testprint
And they actually have different content, so let's ignore those for now
until we have a better fix.

The NixOS manual says modules have the following signature:
{ config, lib, pkgs, ... }:
But our generated configuration.nix file lacks the 'lib' part. Add it.
The host id value gets generated by reading a 32-bit value from
/dev/urandom.
This makes programs that rely on a correct host id more reliable.
It also makes using ZFS more seamless, as you don't need to configure
the hostId manually; instead, it becomes part of your config from the
moment you install NixOS.
The old boot.spl.hostid option was not working correctly due to an
upstream bug.
Instead, now we will create the /etc/hostid file so that all applications
(including the ZFS kernel modules, ZFS user-space applications and other
unrelated programs) pick-up the same system-wide host id. Note that glibc
(and by extension, the `hostid` program) also respect the host id configured in
/etc/hostid, if it exists.
The hostid option is now mandatory when using ZFS because otherwise, ZFS will
require you to force-import your ZFS pools if you want to use them, which is
undesirable because it disables some of the checks that ZFS does to make sure it
is safe to import a ZFS pool.
The /etc/hostid file must also exist when booting the initrd, before the SPL
kernel module is loaded, so that ZFS picks up the hostid correctly.
The complexity in creating the /etc/hostid file is due to having to
write the host ID as a 32-bit binary value, taking into account the
endianness of the machine, while using only shell commands and/or simple
utilities (to avoid exploding the size of the initrd).
It turns out that the upstream systemd services that import ZFS pools contain
serious bugs. The first major problem is that importing pools fails if there
are no pools to import. The second major problem is that if a pool ends up in
/etc/zfs/zpool.cache but it disappears from the system (e.g. if you
reboot but during the reboot you unplug your ZFS-formatted USB pen drive),
then the import service will always fail and it will be impossible to get rid
of the pool from the cache (unless you manually delete the cache).
Also, the upstream service would always import all available ZFS pools every
boot, which may not be what is desired in some cases.
This commit will solve these problems in the following ways:
1. Ignore /etc/zfs/zpool.cache. This seems to be a major source of
issues, and also does not play well with NixOS's philosophy of
reproducible configurations. Instead, on every boot NixOS will try to import
the set of pools that are specified in its configuration. This is also the
direction that upstream is moving towards.
2. Instead of trying to import all ZFS pools, only import those that are
actually necessary. NixOS will automatically determine these from the
config.fileSystems.* option. Also, the user can import any additional
pools every boot by adding them to the config.boot.zfs.extraPools
option, but this is only necessary if their filesystems are not
specified in config.fileSystems.*.
3. Added options to configure if ZFS should force-import ZFS pools. This may
currently be necessary, especially if your pools have not been correctly
imported with a proper host id configuration (which is probably true for 99% of
current NixOS ZFS users). Once host id configuration becomes mandatory when
using ZFS in NixOS and we are sure that most users have updated their
configurations and rebooted at least once, we should disable force-import by
default. Probably, this shouldn't be done before the next stable release.
WARNING: This commit may change the order in which your non-ZFS vs ZFS
filesystems are mounted. To avoid this problem (now or in the future)
it is recommended that you set the 'mountpoint' property of your ZFS
filesystems to 'legacy', and that you manage them using
config.fileSystems, just like any other non-ZFS filesystem is usually
managed in NixOS.
Also remove custom zfs services from NixOS. This makes NixOS more aligned with
upstream.
More importantly, it prepares the way for NixOS to use ZED (the ZFS event
daemon). This service will automatically be enabled but it is not possible to
configure it via configuration.nix yet.
The dnscrypt-proxy service relays regular DNS queries to
a DNSCrypt enabled upstream resolver.
The traffic between the client and the upstream resolver is
encrypted and authenticated, which may mitigate the risk of
MITM attacks and third-party snooping (assuming a trustworthy
upstream).
Though dnscrypt-proxy can run as a standalone DNS client,
the recommended setup is to use it as a forwarder for a
caching DNS client.
To use dnscrypt-proxy as a forwarder for dnsmasq, do
```nix
{
# ...
networking.nameservers = [ "127.0.0.1" ];
networking.dhcpcd.extraConfig = "nohook resolv.conf";
services.dnscrypt-proxy.enable = true;
services.dnscrypt-proxy.localAddress = "127.0.0.1";
services.dnscrypt-proxy.port = 40;
services.dnsmasq.enable = true;
services.dnsmasq.extraConfig = ''
no-resolv
server=127.0.0.1#40
listen-address=127.0.0.1
'';
# ...
}
```
Perl seems to write the file in latin1 independent of the actual input
encoding. This can corrupt the "description" field of /etc/passwd. By
setting "binmode" to ":utf8" Perl can be forced to write UTF-8. Ideally
the program would simply read/write the fields by value without any
changes in encoding. However, assuming/enforcing UTF-8 is a lot better
than using an obsolete coding like latin1.
Regression introduced in f496c3cbe4.
Previously when we used security.initialRootPassword, the default
priority for this option was 1001, because it was a default value set by
the option itself.
With the mentioned commit, it is no longer an option default but a
mkDefault, which is priority 1000.
I'm setting this to 150 now, as test-instrumentation.nix is using this
for overriding other options and because I think it still makes it
possible to simple-override it, because if no priority is given, we get
priority 100.

In this case, they're equivalent to setting ‘password’ and
‘hashedPassword’ (since there is no distinction between an initial and
non-initial user account state).
This changes the bootloader for iso generation from Grub to
syslinux. In addition this adds USB booting support, so that
"dd" can be used to burn the generated ISO to USB thumbdrives
instead of needing applications like UnetBootin.
from sudoers (5):
When multiple entries match for a user, they are applied in order.
Where there are multiple matches, the last match is used (which is not necessarily the most specific match).
I'm not sure what exactly this user is needed for, i.e. under what circumstances
it must exist or not, but creating it unconditionally seems like the wrong thing
to do. I complained to @offlinehacker about this on Github, but got no response
for a week or so. I'm disabling the extraUsers bit to put out the fire, and now
hope that someone who actually knows about Graphite implements a proper solution
later.
I.e. don't call "passwd" to update /etc/shadow from the "password"
option. This has the side-effect of not updating the password if
mutableUsers = true (since the code path for "hashedPassword" has a
check for mutableUsers).
Fixes#4747.
Partially and temporarily addresses NixOS/nixops#228.
We now have an up-to-date version of Blivet and a bunch of its dependen-
cies as well as the old nixpart 0.4 with all its old and crappy
dependencies, which should fix _simple_ partitioning layouts for NixOps.
Also, nixpart 1.0 is now marked as broken, because it is not yet
released and this branch is more of a preparation and "damage control"
in case I shouldn't manage to finish nixpart + nixos-assimilate in time
for the next NixOS release.
I'm not using JFS, but this is to mainly make jfsutils available if you
have defined a JFS filesystem in your configuration.

This option makes the coupling between lighttpd and its sub-services
more "loose".
While the option is a list, its purpose is to provide a "set" of needed
modules to load for lighttpd to function correctly with its config. The
NixOS lighttpd module ensures that lighttpd modules are loaded no more
than once (because lighttpd dislikes that), and in the correct order.
Also add an assertion that all modules listed in .enableModules are
valid.
Any reasonably new version of fontconfig does search that path by default,
and setting this globally causes problems, as 2.10 and 2.11 need
incompatible configs.
Tested: slim+xfce desktop, chrootenv-ed steam.
I have no idea why we were setting the global variable;
e.g., neither Fedora nor Ubuntu does that.
This commit updates the stumpwm to version 0.9.8. Futhermore, it
refactors the expression quite a lot:
* stumpwm has been moved from lisp modules to window-managers.
* stumpwm has been added to the window managers NixOS knows about, this
enables the user to add stumpwm as a default window manager in his
NixOS configuration like with Xmonad or i3.
* the package has been split into stumpwm and stumpwmContrib. This is
due to the fact that development of stumpwm and its extension modules
has been split into two repositories. As of today, the release is the
last one before this split. This split into two packages only reflect
those upcoming upstream changes already.
It is planned to make the addition of the extension modules voluntarily,
like with Xmonads option "enableContribAndExtras". Furthermore it might
be possible to add an option to compile stumpwm with clisp instead of
sbcl.
This allows you to configure extra files that should be appended to your
crontab. Implemented by writing to /etc/crontab when the cron service starts.
Would be nicer to use a cron that supports /etc/cron.d but that would require
us to patch vixie-cron.
3.16.0 introduced a regression where vlan and veth devices could not be
created due to a check in the code for existing devices. This applies
the upstream patch which fixes the issue.
Additionally, this corrects the nixos network-interfaces task which now
needs to specify the name parameter when adding links.
The .configText option is for providing verbatim content of smb.conf.
I'm adding this because I cannot seem to find any other way to override
(with mkForce) the generated smb.conf with the current samba module. All
attempts ends with errors ("duplicate entry samba/smb.conf").
It's not that difficult to define shares using standard samba config
file syntax, so why do we need the semi-configurable .defaultShare
option?
Also:
* It uses /home/smbd and I think /home should be reserved
for real human users.
* If enabled, it breaks the assumption that .extraConfig continues in
the [global] section.
Without .defaultShare there is no need for the "smbguest" user and group
either, mark them as unused.
Option defaults should not refer to store paths, because they cause
the manual to be rebuilt gratuitously. It's especially bad to refer to
a highly variable path like a computed configuration file.
This fixes the issue when the LXC emulator binary is garbage collected
and breaks libvirtd containers, because libvirtd XML file still refers
to GC'ed store path.
We already have a fix for QEMU, this commit extends the fix to cover LXC
too.
