Newer versions of DNSCrypt proxy *can* cache lookups (via
plugin); make the wording more neutral wrt. why one might want
to run the proxy in a forwarding setup.
It'd be better to do the update as an unprivileged user; for
now, we do our best to minimize the surface available. We
filter mount syscalls to prevent the process from undoing the fs
isolation.
Resolve download.dnscrypt.org using hostip with a bootstrap
resolver (hard-coded to Google Public DNS for now), to ensure
that we can get an up-to-date resolver list without working name
service lookups. This makes us more robust to the upstream
resolver list getting out of date and other DNS configuration
problems.
We use the curl --resolver switch to allow https cert validation
(we'd need to do --insecure if using just the ip addr). Note
that we don't rely on https for security but it's nice to have
it ...
Use mkMerge to make the code a little more ergonomic and easier
to follow (to my eyes, anyway ...). Also take the opportunity
to do some minor cleanups & tweaks, but no functional changes.
Set `networking.networkmanager.wifi.macAddress` or `networking.networkmanager.ethernet.macAddress`
to one of these values to change your macAddress.
* "XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX": set the MAC address of the interface.
* "permanent": use the permanent MAC address of the device.
* "preserve": don’t change the MAC address of the device upon activation.
* "random": generate a randomized value upon each connect.
* "stable": generate a stable, hashed MAC address.
See https://blogs.gnome.org/thaller/2016/08/26/mac-address-spoofing-in-networkmanager-1-4-0/ for more information
reason:
- We currently have an open discussion regarding a more modular
firewall (https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/23181) and
leaving null makes future extension easier.
- the current default might not cover all use cases (different ssh port)
and might break setups, if applied blindly
When dhcpcd instead of networkd is used, the network-online.target behaved
the same as network.target, resulting in broken services that need a working
network connectivity when being started.
This commit makes dhcpcd wait for a lease and makes it wanted by
network-online.target. In turn, network-online.target is now wanted by
multi-user.target, so it will be activated at every boot.
Recent versions of libreswan seem to omit this file, but it may be added/changed in the future. It is silly to have the service fail because a file is missing that only enriches the environment.
This fixes an issue where `nixops deploy` wouldn't restart the chrony
service when the chrony configuration changed, because it wouldn't
detect that `/etc/chrony.conf` was a dependency of the chrony service.
20e81f7c0d prevented key generation in
`preStart`, leaving the service broken for the case where the user has
no pre-existing key.
Eventually, we ought to store the state elsewhere so that `/etc` can be
read-only but for now we fix this the easy way.
