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
The initialization code is now a systemd service that explicitly
waits for network-online, so the occasional failure I was seeing
because the `nixos-rebuild` couldn't get anything from the binary
cache should stop. I hope!
fix#22709
Recent pvgrub (from Grub built with “--with-platform=xen”) understands
the Grub2 configuration format. Grub legacy configuration (menu.lst) is
ignored.
A very simple skeleton for now that doesn't attempt to model any of
the agent configuration, but we can grow it later. Tested and works
on an EC2 instance with ECS.
All the new options in detail:
Enable docker in multi-user.target make container created with restart=always
to start. We still want socket activation as it decouples dependencies between
the existing of /var/run/docker.sock and the docker daemon. This means that
services can rely on the availability of this socket. Fixes#11478#21303
wantedBy = ["multi-user.target"];
This allows us to remove the postStart hack, as docker reports on its own when
it is ready.
Type=notify
The following will set unset some limits because overhead in kernel's ressource
accounting was observed. Note that these limit only apply to containerd.
Containers will have their own limit set.
LimitNPROC=infinity
LimitCORE=infinity
TasksMax=infinity
Upgrades may require schema migrations. This can delay the startup of dockerd.
TimeoutStartSec=0
Allows docker to create its own cgroup subhierarchy to apply ressource limits on
containers.
Delegate=true
When dockerd is killed, container should be not affected to allow
`live restore` to work.
KillMode=process
Overlayfs is quite a bit faster, e.g. with it the KDE 5 test takes ~7m
instead of ~30m on my laptop (which is still not great, since plain
9pfs is ~4m30s).
This works around:
machine: must succeed: nix-store -qR /run/current-system | grep nixos-
machine# error: changing ownership of path ‘/nix/store’: Invalid argument
Probably Nix shouldn't be anal about the ownership of the store unless
it's trying to build/write to the store.

- most nixos user only require time synchronisation,
while ntpd implements a battery-included ntp server (1,215 LOCs of C-Code vs 64,302)
- timesyncd support ntp server per interface (if configured through dhcp for instance)
- timesyncd is already included in the systemd package, switching to it would
save a little disk space (1,5M)
A secret can be stored in a file. It is written at runtime in the
configuration file.
Note it is also possible to write them in the nix store for dev
purposes.
This commit introduces a nixos module for the Openstack Keystone
service. It also provides a optional bootstrap step that creates some
basic initial resources (tenants, endpoints,...).
The provided test starts Keystone by enabling bootstrapping and checks
if user creation works well.
This commit is based on initial works made by domenkozar.
Allows one or more directories to be mounted as a read-only file system.
This makes it convenient to run volatile containers that do not retain
application state.
Fix automatic mouse grabbing/releasing when running as a vmware guest.
1. The xf86inputvmmouse is not loaded by default. Add it.
2. InptutDevice sections for which specify a driver are ignored if
AutoAddDevices is enabled (which it is by default). See [1]. Instead use
an InputClass to load the vmmouse driver.

The reason to patch QEMU is that with latest Nix, tests like "printing"
or "misc" fail because they expect the store paths to be owned by uid 0
and gid 0.
Starting with NixOS/nix@5e51ffb1c2, Nix
builds inside of a new user namespace. Unfortunately this also means
that bind-mounted store paths that are part of the derivation's inputs
are no longer owned by uid 0 and gid 0 but by uid 65534 and gid 65534.
This in turn causes things like sudo or cups to fail with errors about
insecure file permissions.
So in order to avoid that, let's make sure the VM always gets files
owned by uid 0 and gid 0 and does a no-op when doing a chmod on a store
path.
In addition, this adds a virtualisation.qemu.program option so that we
can make sure that we only use the patched version if we're *really*
running NixOS VM tests (that is, whenever we have imported
test-instrumentation.nix).
Tested against the "misc" and "printing" tests.

The dnsmasq instance run by the xen-bridge.service errorenously
hands out 172.16.0.0 as the netmask over DHCP to the VMs. This
commit removes the option responsible for that from dnsmasq.conf,
so that the proper netmask is inferred by dnsmasq instead.
Addresses https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/19883
The calls to iptables in xen-bridge.service were missing the -w switch,
which caused them to fail if another script was calling iptables
at the same time. Fix it by adding the -w switch.

This adds the containers.<name>.enableTun option allowing containers to
access /dev/net/tun. This is required by openvpn, tinc, etc. in order to
work properly inside containers.
The new option builds on top of two generic options
containers.<name>.additionalCapabilities and
containers.<name>.allowedDevices which also can be used for example when
adding support for FUSE later down the road.
Get rid of the "or null" stuff. Also change 'cfg . "foo"' to 'cfg.foo'.
Also fixed what appears to be an actual bug: in postStartScript,
cfg.attribute (where attribute is a function argument) should be
cfg.${attribute}.
This introduces VirtualBox version 5.1.6 along with a few refactored
stuff, notably:
* Kernel modules and user space applications are now separate
derivations.
* If config.pulseaudio doesn't exist in nixpkgs config, the default is
now to build with PulseAudio modules.
* A new updater to keep VirtualBox up to date.
All subtests in nixos/tests/virtualbox.nix succeed on my machine and
VirtualBox was reported to be working by @DamienCassou (although with
unrelated audio problems for another fix/branch) and @calbrecht.
- logDriver option, use journald for logging by default
- keep storage driver intact by default, as docker has sane defaults
- do not choose storage driver in tests, docker will choose by itself
- use dockerd binary as "docker daemon" command is deprecated and will be
removed
- add overlay2 to list of storage drivers
VirtualBox user space binaries now no longer reside in linuxPackages, so
let's use the package for the real user space binaries instead.
Tested using the following command:
nix-build nixos/release.nix -A ova.x86_64-linux

Putting the kernel modules into the same output path as the main
VirtualBox derivation causes all of VirtualBox to be rebuilt on every
single kernel update.
The build process of VirtualBox already outputs the kernel module source
along with the generated files for the configuration of the main
VirtualBox package. We put this into a different output called "modsrc"
which we re-use from linuxPackages.virtualbox, which is now only
containing the resulting kernel modules without the main user space
implementation.
This not only has the advantage of decluttering the Nix expression for
the user space portions but also gets rid of the need to nuke references
and the need to patch out "depmod -a".

Systemd upstream provides targets for networking. This also includes a target network-online.target.
In this PR I remove / replace most occurrences since some of them were even wrong and could delay startup.
Fixes#13927

configFile in make-disk-image clashes with clone-config as the latter does
nothing if it finds a a /etc/nixos/configuration.nix during stage-2.
With these changes, a container can have more then one veth-pair. This allows for example to have LAN and DMZ as bridges on the host and add dedicated containers for proxies, ipv4-firewall and ipv6-firewall. Or to have a bridge for normal WAN, one bridge for administration and one bridge for customer-internal communication. So that web-server containers can be reached from outside per http, from the management via ssh and can talk to their database via the customer network.
The scripts to set up the containers are now rendered several times instead of just one template. The scripts now contain per-container code to configure the extra veth interfaces. The default template without support for extra-veths is still rendered for the imperative containers.
Also a test is there to see if extra veths can be placed into host-bridges or can be reached via routing.
This makes the container a bit more secure, by preventing root
creating device nodes to access the host file system, for
instance. (Reference: systemd-nspawn@.service in systemd.)
This moves nixos-containers into its own package so that it can be
relied upon by other packages/systems. This should make development
using dynamic containers much easier.
We need to use wrapped modprobe, so that it finds the right
modules. Docker needs modprobe to load overlay kernel module
for example.
This fixes an an error starting docker if the booted system's kernel
version is different from the /run/current-system profile's one.
Since systemd version 230, it is required to have a machine-id file
prior to the startup of the container. If the file is empty, a transient
machine ID is generated by systemd-nspawn.
See systemd/systemd#3014 for more details on the matter.
This unbreaks all of the containers-* NixOS tests.

Closes: #15808
The existence of $root/var/lib/private/host-notify as a socket
prevented a bind mount:
container foo[8083]: Failed to create mount point /var/lib/containers/foo/var/lib/private/host-notify: No such device or address
This allows setting options for the same LUKS device in different
modules. For example, the auto-generated hardware-configuration.nix
can contain
boot.initrd.luks.devices.crypted.device = "/dev/disk/...";
while configuration.nix can add
boot.initrd.luks.devices.crypted.allowDiscards = true;
Also updated the examples/docs to use /disk/disk/by-uuid instead of
/dev/sda, since we shouldn't promote the use of the latter.
Without the templating (which is still present for imperative containers), it
will be possible to set individual dependencies. Like depending on the network
only if the hostbridge or hardware interfaces are used.
Ported from #3021
This allows the containers to have their interface in a bridge on the host.
Also this adds IPv6 addresses to the containers both with bridged and unbridged
network.
NixOps has infrequent releases, so it's not the best place for keeping
the list of current AMIs. Putting them in Nixpkgs means that AMI
updates will be delivered as part of the NixOS channels.
We now generate a qcow2 image to prevent hitting Hydra's output size
limit. Also updated /root/user-data -> /etc/ec2-metadata/user-data.

Previously this was done in three derivations (one to build the raw
disk image, one to convert to OVA, one to add a hydra-build-products
file). Now it's done in one step to reduce the amount of copying
to/from S3. In particular, not uploading the raw disk image prevents
us from hitting hydra-queue-runner's size limit of 2 GiB.
