Currently, if you want to properly chroot a systemd service, you could
do it using BindReadOnlyPaths=/nix/store (which is not what I'd call
"properly", because the whole store is still accessible) or use a
separate derivation that gathers the runtime closure of the service you
want to chroot. The former is the easier method and there is also a
method directly offered by systemd, called ProtectSystem, which still
leaves the whole store accessible. The latter however is a bit more
involved, because you need to bind-mount each store path of the runtime
closure of the service you want to chroot.
This can be achieved using pkgs.closureInfo and a small derivation that
packs everything into a systemd unit, which later can be added to
systemd.packages. That's also what I did several times[1][2] in the
past.
However, this process got a bit tedious, so I decided that it would be
generally useful for NixOS, so this very implementation was born.
Now if you want to chroot a systemd service, all you need to do is:
{
systemd.services.yourservice = {
description = "My Shiny Service";
wantedBy = [ "multi-user.target" ];
chroot.enable = true;
serviceConfig.ExecStart = "${pkgs.myservice}/bin/myservice";
};
}
If more than the dependencies for the ExecStart* and ExecStop* (which
btw. also includes "script" and {pre,post}Start) need to be in the
chroot, it can be specified using the chroot.packages option. By
default (which uses the "full-apivfs"[3] confinement mode), a user
namespace is set up as well and /proc, /sys and /dev are mounted
appropriately.
In addition - and by default - a /bin/sh executable is provided as well,
which is useful for most programs that use the system() C library call
to execute commands via shell. The shell providing /bin/sh is dash
instead of the default in NixOS (which is bash), because it's way more
lightweight and after all we're chrooting because we want to lower the
attack surface and it should be only used for "/bin/sh -c something".
Prior to submitting this here, I did a first implementation of this
outside[4] of nixpkgs, which duplicated the "pathSafeName" functionality
from systemd-lib.nix, just because it's only a single line.
However, I decided to just re-use the one from systemd here and
subsequently made it available when importing systemd-lib.nix, so that
the systemd-chroot implementation also benefits from fixes to that
functionality (which is now a proper function).
Unfortunately, we do have a few limitations as well. The first being
that DynamicUser doesn't work in conjunction with tmpfs, because it
already sets up a tmpfs in a different path and simply ignores the one
we define. We could probably solve this by detecting it and try to
bind-mount our paths to that different path whenever DynamicUser is
enabled.
The second limitation/issue is that RootDirectoryStartOnly doesn't work
right now, because it only affects the RootDirectory option and not the
individual bind mounts or our tmpfs. It would be helpful if systemd
would have a way to disable specific bind mounts as well or at least
have some way to ignore failures for the bind mounts/tmpfs setup.
Another quirk we do have right now is that systemd tries to create a
/usr directory within the chroot, which subsequently fails. Fortunately,
this is just an ugly error and not a hard failure.

to make room for a *real* "full" confinement mode, which is more
restrictive even.

The module is indeed very large but allows configuring every aspect of
icingaweb2. The built-in monitoring module is in an own file because
there are actually more (third-party) modules and this structure means
every module can get an own file.
The OS Login package enables the following components:
AuthorizedKeysCommand to query valid SSH keys from the user's OS Login
profile during ssh authentication phase.
NSS Module to provide user and group information
PAM Module for the sshd service, providing authorization and

Google Cloud IAM permissions to control both, the ability to log into
an instance, and to perform operations as root (sudo).
The `iotop` program can't be started by an unprivileged user because of

Mininet (https://github.com/mininet/mininet) is a popular network emulator that
glues several components such as network namespaces, traffic control
commands into a set of python bindings. It is then "easy" to describe a
topology and run experiments on it.
Imports the `journaldriver` module into the top-level NixOS module
list to make it usable without extra work.
This went unnoticed in #42134 (mostly because my setup imports modules
explicitly from pinned versions).

Rootston is just a reference compositor so it doesn't make that much
sense to have a module for it. Upstream doesn't really like it as well:
"Rootston will never be intended for downstream packages, it's an
internal thing we use for testing." - SirCmpwn [0]
Removing the package and the module shouldn't cause much problems
because it was marked as broken until
886131c243. If required the package can
still be accessed via wlroots.bin (could be useful for testing
purposes).

A module for security options that are too small to warrant their own module.
The impetus for adding this module is to make it more convenient to override
the behavior of the hardened profile wrt user namespaces.
Without a dedicated option for user namespaces, the user needs to
1) know which sysctl knob controls userns
2) know how large a value the sysctl knob needs to allow e.g.,
Nix sandbox builds to work
In the future, other mitigations currently enabled by the hardened profile may
be promoted to options in this module.
Dummy display manager that allows running X as a normal user.
The X server is started manually from a vt using `startx`.
Session startup commands must be provided by the user
in ~/.xinitrc, which is NOT automatically generated.
The autojump plugin in oh-my-zsh assumes autojump.zsh resides in
/run/current-system/sw/share/autojump/ but these links are not created
by default.
The new programs.autojump.enable option forces the creation of these
links.
Add package libratbag and service module ratbagd

Add mvnetbiz to maintainers.
This commit adds the following
* the uucp user
* options for HylaFAX server to control startup and modems
* systemd services for HylaFAX server processes
including faxgettys for modems
* systemd services to maintain the HylaFAX spool area,
including cleanup with faxcron and faxqclean
* default configuration for all server processes
for a minimal working configuration
Some notes:
* HylaFAX configuration cannot be initialized with faxsetup
(as it would be common on other Linux distributions).
The hylafaxplus package contains a template spool area.
* Modems are controlled by faxgetty.
Send-only configuration (modems controlled by faxq)
is not supported by this configuration setup.
* To enable the service, one or more modems must be defined with
config.services.hylafax.modems .
* Sending mail *should* work:
HylaFAX will use whatever is in
config.services.mail.sendmailSetuidWrapper.program
unless overridden with the sendmailPath option.
* The admin has to create a hosts.hfaxd file somewhere
(e.g. in /etc) before enabling HylaFAX.
This file controls access to the server (see hosts.hfaxd(5) ).
Sadly, HylaFAX does not permit account-based access
control as is accepts connections via TCP only.
* Active fax polling should work; I can't test it.
* Passive fax polling is not supported by HylaFAX.
* Pager transmissions (with sendpage) are disabled by default.
I have never tested or used these.
* Incoming data/voice/"extern"al calls
won't be handled by default.
I have never tested or used these.

`ocserv` is a VPN server which follows the openconnect protocol
(https://github.com/openconnect/protocol). The packaging is slightly
inspired by the AUR version
(https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ocserv/).
This patch initializes the package written in C, the man pages and a
module for a simple systemd unit to run the VPN server. The package
supports the following authentication methods for the server:
* `plain` (mostly username/password)
* `pam`
The third method (`radius`) is currently not supported since `nixpkgs`
misses a packaged client.
The module can be used like this:
``` nix
{
services.ocserv = {
enable = true;
config = ''
...
'';
};
}
```
The option `services.ocserv.config` is required on purpose to
ensure that nobody just enables the service and experiences unexpected
side-effects on the system. For a full reference, please refer to the
man pages, the online docs or the example value.
The docs recommend to simply use `nobody` as user, so no extra user has
been added to the internal user list. Instead a configuration like
this can be used:
```
run-as-user = nobody
run-as-group = nogroup
```

Fixes#42594
Having socket-activated epmd means that there always be only a single
instance managed centrally. Because Erlang also starts it
automatically if not available, and in worst case scenario 'epmd' can
be started by some Erlang application running under systemd. And then
restarting this application unit will cause complete loss of names in
'epmd' (if other Erlang system are also installed on this host).
E.g. see at which lengths RabbitMQ goes to recover from such
situations:
7741b37b1e/src/rabbit_epmd_monitor.erl (L36)
Having the only one socket-activated epmd completely solves this
problem.
Fixes issue #33231 and makes it possible to enable Plasma and KDE at the same time.
Previously, this worked like this:
- The gdk-pixbuf package comes with a cache file covering the modules bundled
with gdk-pixbuf.
- The librsvg package comes with a cache covering modules from gdk-pixbuf as
well as librsvg.
- plasma5 and xfce modules set the environment variable GDK_PIXBUF_MODULE_FILE
to the one from librsvg, so that SVG was supported in addition to the
formats supported by gdk-pixbuf. However if both were enabled a configuration
conflict would result (despite setting to the same value).
While this sort of worked (ignoring the conflict which perhaps could be hacked
around), it is unscalable and a hack, as there would be a real problem when one
wanted to add a third package that supports additional image formats.
A new NixOS module (gdk-pixbuf) is added with a configuration option
(modulePackages) that other modules use to request specific packages to be
included in the loaders cache. When any package is present in the list, the
module generates a system-wide loaders cache which includes the requested
packages (and always gdk-pixbuf itself), and sets the environment variable
GDK_PIXBUF_MODULE_FILE to point to the generated cache file.
The plasma5 and xfce modules are updated to add librsvg to modulePackages
instead of setting GDK_PIXBUF_MODULE_FILE.
Note that many packages create wrappers that set GDK_PIXBUF_MODULE_FILE,
some directly to the one from librsvg. Therefore this change does not
change the existing hack in the librsvg package which ensures that
file is generated. This change aims only to solve the conflict in the
global environent variable configuration.
The freeradius service was merged with #34587
but the module was not added to module-list.
This commit fixes that and enables the use of
services.freeradius in nixos configuration.
The `zsh-autosuggestions` package provides several configuration options
such as a different highlight style (like `fg=cyan` which is easier to
read).
With `rename.nix` the old `programs.zsh.enableAutosuggestions` is still
functional, but yields the following warning like this during evaluation:
```
trace: warning: The option `programs.zsh.enableAutosuggestions' defined in `<unknown-file>' has been renamed to `programs.zsh.autosuggestions.enable'.
```
The module provides the most common `zsh-autosuggestions` (highlight
style and strategy) as options that will be written into the interactive
shell init (`/etc/zshrc` by default). Further configuration options can
be declared using the `extraConfig` attr set:
```
{
programs.zsh.autosuggestions.extraConfig = {
"ZSH_AUTOSUGGEST_BUFFER_MAX_SIZE" = "buffer_size";
};
}
```
A full list of available configuration options for `zsh-autosuggestions`
can be viewed here: https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions/blob/v0.4.3/README.md
`xsslock` (which was originally packaged in 6cb1d1aaaf)
is a simple screensaver which connects a given screen locker (e.g.
`i3lock`) with `logind`. Whenever `loginctl lock-sessions` is invoked
the locker will be used to lock the screen. This works with its power
management features (e.g. `lid switch`) as well, so the PC can be locked
automatically when the lid is closed.
The module can be used like this:
```
{
services.xserver.enable = true;
programs.xss-lock.enable = true;
programs.xss-lock.lockerCommand = "i3lock";
}
```
* networking/stubby.nix: implementing systemd service module for stubby
This change implements stubby, the DNS-over-TLS stub resolver daemon.
The motivation for this change was the desire to use stubby's
DNS-over-TLS funcitonality in tandem with unbound, which requires
passing certain configuration parameters. This module implements those
config parameters by exposing them for use in configuration.nix.
* networking/stubby.nix: merging back module list
re-merging the module list to remove unecessary changes.
* networking/stubby.nix: removing unecessary capabilities flag
This change removes the unecessary flag for toggling the capabilities
which allows the daemon to bind to low ports.
* networking/stubby.nix: adding debug level logging bool
Adding the option to turn on debug logging.
* networking/stubby.nix: clarifying idleTimeout and adding systemd target
Improving docs to note that idleTimeout is expressed in ms. Adding the
nss-lookup `before' target to the systemd service definition.
* networking/stubby.nix: Restrict options with types.enum
This change restricts fallbackProtocol and authenticationMode to accept
only valid options instead of any list or str types (respectively). This
change also fixes typo in the CapabilityBoundingSet systemd setting.
* networking/stubby.nix: cleaning up documentation
Cleaning up docs, adding literal tags to settings, and removing
whitespace.
* networking/stubby.nix: fixing missing linebreak in comments
* networking/stubby.nix: cleaning errant comments
When doing source routing/multihoming, it's practical to give names to routing
tables. The absence of the rt_table file in /etc make this impossible.
This patch recreates these files on rebuild so that they can be modified

iproute2 is modified to look into config.networking.iproute2.confDir instead of

Allow out of band communication between qemu VMs and the host.
Useful to retrieve IPs of VMs from the host (for instance when libvirt can't analyze
DHCP requests because VMs are configured with static addresses or when
there is connectivity default).
This patch is heavily inspired by bd0d8ed807 which added
a setcap wrapper for `mtr` in order to allow running `mtr` without
`sudo`. The need for the capability `cap_net_raw` that can be registered using
`setcap` has been documented in the Arch Wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Capabilities#iftop
A simple testcase has been added which starts two machines, one with a
setcap wrapper for `iftop`, one without. Both testcases monitor the
bandwidth usage of the machine using the options `-t -s 1` once, the
machine with setcap wrapper is expected to succeed, the `iftop` on the
machine without setcap wrapper is expected to return a non-zero exit
code.
- prometheus exporters are now configured with
`services.prometheus.exporters.<name>`
- the exporters are now defined by attribute sets
from which the options for each exporter are generated
- most of the exporter definitions are used unchanged,
except for some changes that should't have any impact
on the functionality.
By default, OnlyKey device (https://crp.to/p/) won't work on Linux (and,
therefore, NixOS). This is unintuitive and requires one to search for a
solution in the documentation.
This change allows one to enable OnlyKey device support directly from
their NixOS configuration.
All 5 daemon types can be enabled and configured through the module and the module both creates the ceph.conf required but also creates and enables specific services for each daemon, based on the systemd service files that upstream provides.
The strongswan-swanctl systemd service starts charon-systemd. This implements a IKE daemon
very similar to charon, but it's specifically designed for use with systemd. It uses the
systemd libraries for a native integration.
Instead of using starter and an ipsec.conf based configuration, the daemon is directly
managed by systemd and configured with the swanctl configuration backend.
See: https://wiki.strongswan.org/projects/strongswan/wiki/Charon-systemd
Note that the strongswan.conf and swantctl.conf configuration files are automatically
generated based on NixOS options under services.strongswan-swanctl.strongswan and
services.strongswan-swanctl.swanctl respectively.
