This test wants to download things from the internet while building the
system. It can probably be fixed by ensuring these paths are present in
the initial nix-store.
Updates required:
- Use vpc image format (new default, supported by Amazon)
- Pass full image filename to makeEc2Test
- Increase memory allocation for nixos-rebuild
- Set a networking.hostName for services.httpd
- Add appropriate escaping in literal userdata
While I'm here, try to make it fail fast.
The Openstack metadata service exposes the EC2 API. We use the
existing `ec2.nix` module to configure the hostname and ssh keys of an
Openstack Instance.
A test checks the ssh server is well configured.
This is mainly to reduce the size of the image (700MB). Also,
declarative features provided by cloud-init are not really useful
since we would prefer to use our `configuration.nix` file instead.
We now make it happen later in the boot process so that multi-user
has already activated, so as to not run afoul of the logic in
switch-to-configuration.pl. It's not my favorite solution, but at
least it works. Also added a check to the VM test to catch the failure
so we don't break in future.
Fixes#23121
We now generate a qcow2 image to prevent hitting Hydra's output size
limit. Also updated /root/user-data -> /etc/ec2-metadata/user-data.
