I've added an alias for multipath_tools to make sure that we don't break
existing configurations referencing the old name.

Make top level /var/lib/postfix as root:root 0755
After generating custom configs in /var/lib/postfix/conf,
`postfix set-permissions` called, to perform all required tricks
related to queue handling (postfix use file mode bits to keep
some internal statuses, so `chmod -R` not recommended by authors,
see comments in $out/libexec/postfix/post-install for details)
Also post-install script was patched, to skip permission check/update
for files inside $out, as well as symlinks following to $NIX_STORE.
Config file `main.cf` extended with all default directory locations,
to prevent post-install script from guessing and overwrite them.
And finally all actions in activation script snippets performed
by postmap/postalias/postfix tools from current build, not random one
from paths.
When using `--ensure-unique-name`, don't needlessly append `"-0"` if the
container name is already unique.
This is especially helpful with NixOps since when it deploys to a
container it uses `--ensure-unique-name`. This means that the container
name will never match the deployment host due to the `"-0"`. Having the
container name and the host name match isn't exactly a requirement, but
it's nice to have and a small change.
Set this option to 'true' (default: 'false') to enable extension mechanisms for
DNS (EDNS) in your local glibc resolver. This is required for supporting
DNSSEC, for example.
Implementation detail: the patch changes assignments to "resolv_conf_options"
to use "+=" instead of "=" to ensure that multiple users of that variable don't
overwrite each other. The generated config file is a shell script, after all,
so this should work fine.
Closes https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/12470.
- add missing types in module definitions
- add missing 'defaultText' in module definitions
- wrap example with 'literalExample' where necessary in module definitions
Building config.system.build.isoImage would fail with the following
error using the channel:
ln: failed to create symbolic link
'/nix/store/zz0hzi5imrg4927v6f8mv281qs6v6pbq-nixos-16.03pre69762.e916273/nixos/nixpkgs/.': File exists
The fix skips symlink as it already exists if the channel
nixpkgs copy is used.
Fixes#10367
Regression introduced by 3891d3e654.
Merging multiple options with type "str" won't work and give an
evaluation error. For extra configuration lines in the Postfix config it
really should be "lines", especially because even the description
mentions "extra lines".

Modifies libvirt package to search for configs in /var/lib and changes
libvirtd service to copy the default configs to the new location.
This enables the user to change e.g. the networking configuration with
virsh or virt-manager and keep those settings.
This reverts most of 89e983786a, as those references are sanitized now.
Fixes#10039, at least most of it.
The `sane` case wasn't fixed, as it calls a *function* in pkgs to get
the default value.
Sadly, we can't instruct systemd to properly restart device-name.swap when this service restarts (or I haven't found the way to do so). As of now blindly restarting it would only get you a bunch of errors about device already used -- let's avoid it.
This reverts commit 6353f580f9.
Unfortunately cache=none doesn't work with all filesystem options.
Hydra tests error out with: file system may not support O_DIRECT

Setting nixosVersion to something custom is useful for meaningful GRUB
menus and /nix/store paths, but actuallly changing it rebulids the
whole system path (because of `nixos-version` script and manual
pages). Also, changing it is not a particularly good idea because you
can then be differentitated from other NixOS users by a lot of
programs that read /etc/os-release.
This patch introduces an alternative option that does all you want
from nixosVersion, but rebuilds only the very top system level and
/etc while using your label in the names of system /nix/store paths,
GRUB and other boot loaders' menus, getty greetings and so on.
This hopefully fixes intermittent initrd failures where udevd cannot
create a Unix domain socket:
machine# running udev...
machine# error getting socket: Address family not supported by protocol
machine# error initializing udev control socket
machine# error getting socket: Address family not supported by protocol
The "unix" kernel module is supposed to be loaded automatically, and
clearly that works most of the time, but maybe there is a race
somewhere. In any case, no sane person would run a kernel without Unix
domain sockets, so we may as well make it builtin.

Two concurrent tarsnap backups cannot be run at the same time with the
same keys - completely separate sets of keys must be generated for each
archive in this case, if you want backups to overlap.
This extends the archives attrset to support a 'keyfile' option, which
defaults to /root/tarsnap.key like the top-level attribute.
With this change, if you generate two keys with tarsnap-keygen(1) and
use each of those separately for each archive, you can backup
concurrently.

Tarsnap locks the cachedir during backup, meaning if you specify
multiple backups with a shared cache that might overlap (for example,
one backup may take an hour), secondary backups will fail. This isn't
very nice behavior for the obvious reasons.
This splits the cache dirs for each archive appropriately. Note that
this will require a rebuild of your archive caches (although if you were
only using one archive for your whole system, you can just move the
directory).

A machine may not always be active (or online!) when a backup timer
triggers, meaning backups can be missed - now we properly set the
tarsnap timer's Persistent option so systemd will run the command even
when the machine wasn't online at that exact time.
However, we also need to make sure that we can contact the tarsnap
server reliably before we start the backup. So, we attempt to ping the
access endpoint in a loop with a sleep, before continuing.
This fixes#8823.

The Bitmessage protocol v3 became mandatory on 16 Nov 2014 and notbit does not support it, nor has there been any activity in the project repository since then.
Part of the way towards #11864. We still don't have the auditd
userland logging daemon, but journald also tracks audit logs so we
can already use this.
This hopefully fixes intermittent test failures like

... because we make it built-in by default.
I can't imagine anyone who wanted to purge this module from his/her system,
so let's keep it simple, at least for now.
This commit adds the options --build-host and --target-host to nixos-rebuild.
--build-host instructs nixos-rebuild to perform all nix builds on the
specified host (via ssh). Build results are then copied back to the
local machine and used when activating the system.
--build-target instructs nixos-rebuild to activate the configuration
not on the local machine but on the specified remote host. Build
results are copied to the target machine and then activated there (via ssh).
It is possible to combine the usage of --build-host and --target-host,
in which case you can perform the build on one remote machine and deploy
the configuration to another remote machine. The only requirement is that
the build host has a working ssh connection to the target host (if the
target is not local), and that the local machine can connect to both
the target and the build host. Also, your user must be allowed to copy
nix closures between the local machine and the target and host machines.
At no point in time are the configuration sources (the nix files) copied
anywhere. Instead, nix evaluation always happens locally
(with nix-instantiate). The drv-file is then copied and realised remotely
(with nix-store).
As a convenience, if only --target-host is specified, --build-host is
implicitly set to that host too. So if you want to build locally and deploy
remotely you have to explicitly set "--build-host localhost".
To activate (test, boot or switch) you need to have root access to the
target host. You can specify this by "--target-host root@myhost".
I have tested the obvious scenarios and they are working. Some of the
combinations of --build-host and --target-host and the various actions might
not make much sense, and should maybe be forbidden (like setting a remote
target host when building a VM), and some combinations might not work at all.
