This is a refactor of how resolvconf is managed on NixOS. We split it
into a separate service which is enabled internally depending on whether
we want /etc/resolv.conf to be managed by it. Various services now take
advantage of those configuration options.
We also now use systemd instead of activation scripts to update
resolv.conf.
NetworkManager now uses the right option for rc-manager DNS
automatically, so the configuration option shouldn't be exposed.
1. Simplify the command by reading directly from /etc/machine-id which
is already a random, lower-case hex string
2. Previously, the command output could be too short because of missing
leading digits. This is now fixed.
With a config like
{
networking.interfaces."lo".ip4 = [
{ address = "10.8.8.8"; prefixLength = 32; }
];
}
a nixos-rebuild switch would take a long time, and you'd see:
$ systemctl list-jobs
JOB UNIT TYPE STATE
734400 network-interfaces.target start waiting
734450 sys-subsystem-net-devices-lo.device start running
734449 network-link-lo.service start waiting
and:
systemd[1]: sys-subsystem-net-devices-lo.device: Job sys-subsystem-net-devices-lo.device/star>
systemd[1]: sys-subsystem-net-devices-lo.device: Job sys-subsystem-net-devices-lo.device/star>
systemd[1]: Timed out waiting for device sys-subsystem-net-devices-lo.device.
This removes the device dependency for `lo` and fixes this bug.
Closes#7227
After the change of the bonding options, the examples were not quite correct.
The diff is over-the top because the new `let` needs everything indented.
Also add a small docstring to the `networkd` attr in the networking test.
reason: after the upgrade of iputils from 20151218 to 20161105
functionality of ping6 and tracepath6 was merged into ping and tracepath.
Ping is now mostly a drop-in replacment for ping6, except that selecting a
specific interface is done by encoding it into the address (ex.: fe80::1%eth0)
rather then specifing it with the `-I` flag.
Until now the four attributes available very selectively provided a small
subset, while copying upstream documentation.
We make driver options an arbitrary key-value set and point to kernel
documentation, which is always up-to-date. This way every option can be set.
The four already existing options are deprecated with a warning.
/etc/hostname is the file used by hostnamectl(1) and the
org.freedesktop.hostname1 dbus service (both provided by systemd) to get
the "static hostname". Better provide it so that users of those
tools/services get a proper hostname.
An example of an issue created by the lack of /etc/hostname is that the
bluetooth stack on NixOS identifies itself to peers as "BlueZ $VERSION"
instead of the hostname.

Changes v1 -> v2:
* ensure /etc/hostname ends with a newline
Test that adding physical devices to containers works, find that network setup
then doesn't work because there is no udev in the container to tell systemd
that the device is present.
Fixed by not depending on the device in the container.
Activate the new container test for release
Bonds, bridges and other network devices need the underlying not as
dependency when used inside the container. Because the device is already
there.
But the address configuration needs the aggregated device itself.
Using types.str doesn't work if you want to mkBefore/mkAfter across
different module definitions, because it only allows for one definition
for the same priority.
This is especially useful if you deploy Hetzner machines via NixOps,
because the physical specification already defines localCommands.
