Jenkins gets (by default) an additional environment of
{ NIX_REMOTE = "daemon"; }
This has the following problems:
1. NIX_REMOTE disappears when users specify additional environment
variables, because defaults have low merge priority.
2. nix cannot be used without additional NIX_PATH envvar, which is
currently missing.
3. If you try to use HTTPS, you'll see that jenkins lacks
SSL_CERT_FILE envvar, causing it to fail.
This commit adds config.environment.sessionVariables and NIX_REMOTE to
the set of variables that are always there for jenkins, making nix and
HTTPS work out of the box.
services.jenkins.environment is now empty by default.
Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:
% git remote add channels git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git
For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain
custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-15.09 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-15.09
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
