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.
See https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/15747. Previously this module was called `<unknown-file>`
in error messages, now it is called a bit more close to real:
```
module at /home/danbst/dev/nixpkgs/nixos/modules/virtualisation/containers.nix:470
```
Fix#61859.
Assertion fails when a Google Compute Engine image is built, because
now choices of filesystem types are restricted to `f2fs` and `ext` family if
auto-resizing is enabled.
This change will pin the filesystem used on such an image to be `ext4` for now.
A new internal option `hardware.opengl.setLdLibraryPath` is added which controls if `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` should be set to `/run/opengl-driver(-32)/lib`. It is false by default and is meant to be set to true by any driver which requires it. If this option is false, then `opengl.nix` and `xserver.nix` will not set `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`.
Currently Mesa and NVidia drivers don't set `setLdLibraryPath` because they work with libglvnd and do not override libraries, while `amdgpu-pro`, `ati` and `parallels-guest` set it to true (the former two really need it, the last one doesn't build so is presumed to).
Additionally, the `libPath` attribute within entries of `services.xserver.drivers` is removed. This made `xserver.nix` add the driver path directly to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` for the display manager (including X server). Not only is it redundant when the driver is added to `hardware.opengl.package` (assuming that `hardware.opengl.enable` is true), in fact all current drivers except `ati` set it incorrectly to the package path instead of package/lib.
This removal of `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` could break certain packages using CUDA, but only those that themselves load `libcuda` or other NVidia driver libraries using `dlopen` (not if they just use `cudatoolkit`). A few have already been fixed but it is practically impossible to test all because most packages using CUDA are libraries/frameworks without a simple way to test.
Fixes#11434 if only Mesa or NVidia graphics drivers are used.
Quite some fixing was needed to get this to work.
Changes in VirtualBox and additions:
- VirtualBox is no longer officially supported on 32-bit hosts so i686-linux is removed from platforms
for VirtualBox and the extension pack. 32-bit additions still work.
- There was a refactoring of kernel module makefiles and two resulting bugs affected us which had to be patched.
These bugs were reported to the bug tracker (see comments near patches).
- The Qt5X11Extras makefile patch broke. Fixed it to apply again, making the libraries logic simpler
and more correct (it just uses a different base path instead of always linking to Qt5X11Extras).
- Added a patch to remove "test1" and "test2" kernel messages due to forgotten debugging code.
- virtualbox-host NixOS module: the VirtualBoxVM executable should be setuid not VirtualBox.
This matches how the official installer sets it up.
- Additions: replaced a for loop for installing kernel modules with just a "make install",
which seems to work without any of the things done in the previous code.
- Additions: The package defined buildCommand which resulted in phases not running, including RUNPATH
stripping in fixupPhase, and installPhase was defined which was not even run. Fixed this by
refactoring using phases. Had to set dontStrip otherwise binaries were broken by stripping.
The libdbus path had to be added later in fixupPhase because it is used via dlopen not directly linked.
- Additions: Added zlib and libc to patchelf, otherwise runtime library errors result from some binaries.
For some reason the missing libc only manifested itself for mount.vboxsf when included in the initrd.
Changes in nixos/tests/virtualbox:
- Update the simple-gui test to send the right keys to start the VM. With VirtualBox 5
it was enough to just send "return", but with 6 the Tools thing may be selected by
default. Send "home" to reliably select Tools, "down" to move to the VM and "return"
to start it.
- Disable the VirtualBox UART by default because it causes a crash due to a regression
in VirtualBox (specific to software virtualization and serial port usage). It can
still be enabled using an option but there is an assert that KVM nested virtualization
is enabled, which works around the problem (see below).
- Add an option to enable nested KVM virtualization, allowing VirtualBox to use hardware
virtualization. This works around the UART problem and also allows using 64-bit
guests, but requires a kernel module parameter.
- Add an option to run 64-bit guests. Tested that the tests pass with that. As mentioned
this requires KVM nested virtualization.
Regression introduced by c94005358c.
The commit introduced declarative docker containers and subsequently
enables docker whenever any declarative docker containers are defined.
This is done via an option with type "attrsOf somesubmodule" and a check
on whether the attribute set is empty.
Unfortunately, the check was whether a *list* is empty rather than
wether an attribute set is empty, so "mkIf (cfg != [])" *always*
evaluates to true and thus subsequently enables docker by default:
$ nix-instantiate --eval nixos --arg configuration {} \
-A config.virtualisation.docker.enable
true
Fixing this is simply done by changing the check to "mkIf (cfg != {})".
Tested this by running the "docker-containers" NixOS test and it still
passes.

This otherwise does not eval `:tested` any more, which means no nixos
channel updates.
Regression comes from 0eb6d0735f (#57751)
which added an assertion stopping the use of `autoResize` when the
filesystem cannot be resized automatically.
* WIP: Run Docker containers as declarative systemd services
* PR feedback round 1
* docker-containers: add environment, ports, user, workdir options
* docker-containers: log-driver, string->str, line wrapping
* ExecStart instead of script wrapper, %n for container name
* PR feedback: better description and example formatting
* Fix docbook formatting (oops)
* Use a list of strings for ports, expand documentation
* docker-continers: add a simple nixos test
* waitUntilSucceeds to avoid potential weird async issues
* Don't enable docker daemon unless we actually need it
* PR feedback: leave ExecReload undefined
Since 34234dcb51, for resize2fs to be automatically included in
initrd, a filesystem needed for boot must be explicitly defined as an
ext* type filesystem.
