This makes it possible to only start IPFS when needed. So a user’s
IPFS daemon only starts when they actually use it.
A few important warnings though:
- This probably shouldn’t be mixed with services.ipfs.autoMount
since you want /ipfs and /ipns aren’t activated like this
- ipfs.socket assumes that you are using ports 5001 and 8080 for the
API and gateway respectively. We could do some parsing to figure
out what is in apiAddress and gatewayAddress, but that’s kind of
difficult given the nonstandard address format.
- Apparently? this doesn’t work with the --api commands used in the tests.
Of course you can always start automatically with startWhenNeeded =
false, or just running ‘systemctl start ipfs.service’.
Tested with the following test (modified from tests/ipfs.nix):
import ./make-test-python.nix ({ pkgs, ...} : {
name = "ipfs";
nodes.machine = { ... }: {
services.ipfs = {
enable = true;
startWhenNeeded = true;
};
};
testScript = ''
start_all()
machine.wait_until_succeeds("ipfs id")
ipfs_hash = machine.succeed("echo fnord | ipfs add | awk '{ print $2 }'")
machine.succeed(f"ipfs cat /ipfs/{ipfs_hash.strip()} | grep fnord")
'';
})

Update nixos/modules/services/network-filesystems/ipfs.nix

Previously we had three services for different config flavors. This is
confusing because only one instance of IPFS can run on a host / port
combination at once. So move all into ipfs.service, which contains the
configuration specified in services.ipfs.
Also remove the env wrapper and just use systemd env configuration.
This fixes the output of "hostname --fqdn" (previously the domain name
was not appended). Additionally it's now possible to use the FQDN.
This works by unconditionally adding two entries to /etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost
These are the first two entries and therefore gethostbyaddr() will
always resolve "127.0.0.1" and "::1" back to "localhost" [0].
This works because nscd (or rather the nss-files module) returns the
first matching row from /etc/hosts (and ignores the rest).
The FQDN and hostname entries are appended later to /etc/hosts, e.g.:
127.0.0.2 nixos-unstable.test.tld nixos-unstable
::1 nixos-unstable.test.tld nixos-unstable
Note: We use 127.0.0.2 here to follow nss-myhostname (systemd) as close
as possible. This has the advantage that 127.0.0.2 can be resolved back
to the FQDN but also the drawback that applications that only listen to
127.0.0.1 (and not additionally ::1) cannot be reached via the FQDN.
If you would like this to work you can use the following configuration:
```nix
networking.hosts."127.0.0.1" = [
"${config.networking.hostName}.${config.networking.domain}"
config.networking.hostName
];
```
Therefore gethostbyname() resolves "nixos-unstable" to the FQDN
(canonical name): "nixos-unstable.test.tld".
Advantages over the previous behaviour:
- The FQDN will now also be resolved correctly (the entry was missing).
- E.g. the command "hostname --fqdn" will now work as expected.
Drawbacks:
- Overrides entries form the DNS (an issue if e.g. $FQDN should resolve
to the public IP address instead of 127.0.0.1)
- Note: This was already partly an issue as there's an entry for
$HOSTNAME (without the domain part) that resolves to
127.0.1.1 (!= 127.0.0.1).
- Unknown (could potentially cause other unexpected issues, but special
care was taken).
[0]: Some applications do apparently depend on this behaviour (see
c578924) and this is typically the expected behaviour.

- Update the default pause image
- Set the cgroup manager to systemd
- Enable `manage_ns_lifecycle` instead of the deprecated
`manage_network_ns_lifecycle` option

https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/88492 flipped some references to
systemctl from config.systemd.package to /run/current-system/systemd/,
which udevRules obviously isn't able resolve.
If we encounter such references, replace them with
config.systemd.package before doing the check.
The `network-link-${i.name}` units raced with other things trying to
configure the interface, or ran before the interface was available.
Instead of running our own set of shell scripts on boot, and hoping
they're executed at the right time, we can make use of udev to configure
the interface *while they appear*, by providing `.link` files in
/etc/systemd/network/*.link to set MACAddress and MTUBytes.
This doesn't require networkd to be enabled, and is populated properly
on non-networkd systems since
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/82941.
This continues clean-up work done in
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/85170 for the scripted networking
stack.
The only leftover part of the `network-link-${i.name}` unit (bringing
the interface up) is moved to the beginning of the
`network-addresses-${i.name}` unit.

it does happen that `dnscrypt-proxy` exit when it is unable to
synchronise its resolvers metadata on startup. this can happen due
to network connectivity issues for example. not restarting it automatically
means no dns resolution will work until a manual restart is performed.
Favor the configuration in "configFile" over "config" to allow
"configFile" to override "config" without a system rebuild.
Add a "persistentKeys" option to generate keys and addresses that
persist across service restarts. This is useful for self-configuring
boot media.
