This reverts commit 764c8203b8.
While this is desireable in principle, some of our modules and services
fail during service startup if no network is available don't currently
properly set Wants=network-online.target.
If nothing pulls in this target anymore, systemd won't try to reach it.
We have many VM tests waiting for `network-online.target`, and after
764c8203b8 fail with the following error
message:
```
error: unit "network-online.target" is inactive and there are no pending jobs
```
Most likely, test scripts shouldn't wait for `network-online.target` in
first place (as `network-online.target` says nothing about whether a
service has been started), but instead, the script should wait for the
network ports of the corresponding service to be open.
Let's revert this for now, and re-apply in a draft PR, fixing the tests
before merging it back in.
Not all systems need to be online to boot up. So, don’t pull
network-online.target into multi-user.target. Services that need
online network can still require it.
This increases my boot time from ~9s to ~5s.
systemd-tmpfiles will load all files in lexicographic order and ignores rules
for the same path in later files with a warning Since we apply the default rules
provided by systemd, we should load user-defines rules first so users have a
chance to override defaults.
This fixes the dhcpcd issue in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/76969,
which was exposed by https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/75031
introducing changes in the module ordering and therefore option ordering
too.
The dhcpcd issue would also be fixable by explicitly putting
dhcpcd's paths before others, however it makes more sense for systemd's
default paths to be after all others by default, since they should only
be a fallback, which is how binary finding will work if they come after.
A centralized list for these renames is not good because:
- It breaks disabledModules for modules that have a rename defined
- Adding/removing renames for a module means having to find them in the
central file
- Merge conflicts due to multiple people editing the central file
Adding `systemd-importd` to the build, so that `machinectl`s `import-.*`
may actually do anything. Currently they fail with
```
Failed to transfer image: The name org.freedesktop.import1 was not provided by any .service files
```
as `systemd-importd` is not built. Also registers the regarding dbus
api and service in the systemd module.
In #68792 it was discovered that /dev/fuse doesn't have
wordl-read-writeable permissions anymore. The cause of this is that the
tmpfiles examples in systemd were reorganized and split into more files.
We thus lost some of the configuration we were depending on.
In this commit some of the new tmpfiles configuration that are
applicable to us are added which also makes wtmp/lastlog in the pam
module not necessary anymore.
Rationale for the new tmpfile configs:
- `journal-nowcow.conf`: Contains chattr +C for journald logs which
makes sense on copy-on-write filesystems like Btrfs. Other filesystems
shouldn't do anything funny when that flag is set.
- `static-nodes-permissions.conf`: Contains some permission overrides
for some device nodes like audio, loop, tun, fuse and kvm.
- `systemd-nspawn.conf`: Makes sure `/var/lib/machines` exists and old
snapshots are properly removed.
- `systemd-tmp.conf`: Removes systemd services related private tmp
folders and temporary coredump files.
- `var.conf`: Creates some useful directories in `/var` which we would
create anyway at some point. Also includes
`/var/log/{wtmp,btmp,lastlog}`.
Fixes#68792.
Pretty useful for laptops. I use them with:
```
services.logind.lidSwitch = "suspend-then-hibernate";
environment.etc."systemd/sleep.conf".text = "HibernateDelaySec=8h";
```
systemd provides two sysctl snippets, 50-coredump.conf and
50-default.conf.
These enable:
- Loose reverse path filtering
- Source route filtering
- `fq_codel` as a packet scheduler (this helps to fight bufferbloat)
This also configures the kernel to pass coredumps to `systemd-coredump`.
These sysctl snippets can be found in `/etc/sysctl.d/50-*.conf`,
and overridden via `boot.kernel.sysctl`
(which will place the parameters in `/etc/sysctl.d/60-nixos.conf`.
Let's start using these, like other distros already do for quite some
time, and remove those duplicate `boot.kernel.sysctl` options we
previously did set.
In the case of rp_filter (which systemd would set to 2 (loose)), make
our overrides to "1" more explicit.
Somewhen between systemd v239 and v242 upstream decided to no longer run
a few system services with `DyanmicUser=1` but failed to provide a
migration path for all the state those services left behind.
For the case of systemd-timesync the state has to be moved from
/var/lib/private/systemd/timesync to /var/lib/systemd/timesync if
/var/lib/systemd/timesync is currently a symlink.
We only do this if the stateVersion is still below 19.09 to avoid
starting to have an ever growing activation script for (then) ancient
systemd migrations that are no longer required.
See https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/12131 for details about
the missing migration path and related discussion.
Right now it's not at all obvious that one can override this option
using `services.logind.extraConfig`; we might as well add an option
for `killUserProcesses` directly so it's clear and documented.
* journald: forward message to syslog by default if a syslog implementation is installed
* added a test to ensure rsyslog is receiving messages when expected
* added rsyslogd tests to release.nix
The default value for journald's Storage option is "auto", which
determines whether to log to /var/log/journal based on whether that
directory already exists. So NixOS has been unconditionally creating
that directory in activation scripts.
However, we can get the same behavior by configuring journald.conf to
set Storage to "persistent" instead. In that case, journald will create
the directory itself if necessary.
Previously, the activation script was responsible for ensuring that
/etc/machine-id exists. However, the only time it could not already
exist is during stage-2-init, not while switching configurations,
because one of the first things systemd does when starting up as PID 1
is to create this file. So I've moved the initialization to
stage-2-init.
Furthermore, since systemd will do the equivalent of
systemd-machine-id-setup if /etc/machine-id doesn't have valid contents,
we don't need to do that ourselves.
We _do_, however, want to ensure that the file at least exists, because
systemd also uses the non-existence of this file to guess that this is a
first-boot situation. In that case, systemd tries to create some
symlinks in /etc/systemd/system according to its presets, which it can't
do because we've already populated /etc according to the current NixOS
configuration.
This is not necessary for any other activation script snippets, so it's
okay to do it after stage-2-init runs the activation script. None of
them declare a dependency on the "systemd" snippet. Also, most of them
only create files or directories in ways that obviously don't need the
machine-id set.
