This provides a /etc/passwd and /etc/group that contain root and nobody.
Useful when packaging binaries that insist on using nss to look up
username/groups (like nginx).
The current nginx example used the `runAsRoot` parameter to setup
/etc/group and /etc/passwd (which also doesn't exist in
buildLayeredImage), so we can now just use fakeNss there and use
buildLayeredImage.
The image tag can be specified or generated from the output hash.
Previously, a generated tag could be recovered from the evaluated
image with some string operations.
However, with the introduction of streamLayeredImage, it's not
feasible to compute the generated tag yourself.
With this change, the imageTag attribute is set unconditionally,
for the buildImage, buildLayeredImage, streamLayeredImage functions.
Calculating the tarsum after creating a layer is inefficient, since
we have to read the tarball we've just written from the disk.
This commit simultaneously calculates the tarsum while creating the
tarball.
This is useful when buildLayeredImage is called in a generic way
that should allow simple (base) images to be built, which may not
reference any store paths.
Since a layer is reserved for "customization", the image can not
contains less than 2 layers.
The user gets the following message at evaluation:
nix-instantiate nixos/tests/docker-tools.nix
trace: the maxLayers argument of dockerTools.buildLayeredImage function must be greather than 1 (current value: 1)
Building a docker image with darwin binaries just yields a confusing
error when ran:
standard_init_linux.go:211: exec user process caused "exec format error"
This change prevents people from building such images in the first place
when tar'ing store paths into layered archives when building layered
images, don't use the absolute nix store path so that tar won't complain
if something new is added to the nix store
when building the final docker image, ignore any file changes tar
detects in the layers. they are all immutable and the only thing that
might change is the number of hard links due to store optimization
Before, every docker image had three extra layers:
1. A `closure` layer which is an internal implementation detail of
calculating the closure of the container
2. a `name-config.json` layer which is the images' run-time
configuration, and has no business being *in* the image as a layer.
3. a "bulk-layers" layer which is again and implementation detail
around collecting the image's closure.
None of these layers need to be in the final product.
dockerTools.buildImageWithNixDb: export USER
Changes to Nix user detection (./src/nix-channel/nix-channel.cc#L-166)
cause this function to error. Exporting USER fixes this.
The architecture of an image should default to the architecture for
which that image is being composed or pulled. buildPackages.go.GOARCH is
an easy way to compute that architecture with the correct terminology.
The layer order was not correct when a parent image was used: parent
image layers were above the new created layer.
This commits simplifies the code related to layer ordering. In
particular, layers in `layer-list` are ordered from bottom-most to
top-most. This is also the order of layers in the `rootfs.diff_ids`
attribute of the image configuration.
Whenever we create scripts that are installed to $out, we must use runtimeShell
in order to get the shell that can be executed on the machine we create the
package for. This is relevant for cross-compiling. The only use case for
stdenv.shell are scripts that are executed as part of the build system.
Usages in checkPhase are borderline however to decrease the likelyhood
of people copying the wrong examples, I decided to use runtimeShell as well.
bcf54ce5bb introduced a treewide change to
use ${stdenv.shell} where-ever possible. However, this broke a script
used by dockerTools, store-path-to-layer.sh, as it did not preserve the
+x mode bit. This meant the file got put into the store as mode 0444,
resulting in a build-time error later on that looked like:
xargs: /nix/store/jixivxhh3c8sncp9xlkc4ls3y5f2mmxh-store-path-to-layer.sh: Permission denied
However, in a twist of fate, bcf54ce5bb
not only introduced this regression but, in this particular instance,
didn't even fix the original bug: the store-path-to-layer.sh script
*still* uses /bin/sh as its shebang line, rather than an absolute path
to stdenv. (Fixing this can be done in a separate commit.)

This patch preserves the ordering of layers of a parent image when the
new image is packed.
It is currently not the case: layers are stacked in the reverse order.
