The `nix.*` options, apart from options for setting up the
daemon itself, currently provide a lot of setting mappings
for the Nix daemon configuration. The scope of the mapping yields
convience, but the line where an option is considered essential
is blurry. For instance, the `extra-sandbox-paths` mapping is
provided without its primary consumer, and the corresponding
`sandbox-paths` option is also not mapped.
The current system increases the maintenance burden as maintainers have to
closely follow upstream changes. In this case, there are two state versions
of Nix which have to be maintained collectively, with different options
avaliable.
This commit aims to following the standard outlined in RFC 42[1] to
implement a structural setting pattern. The Nix configuration is encoded
at its core as key-value pairs which maps nicely to attribute sets, making
it feasible to express in the Nix language itself. Some existing options are
kept such as `buildMachines` and `registry` which present a simplified interface
to managing the respective settings. The interface is exposed as `nix.settings`.
Legacy configurations are mapped to their corresponding options under `nix.settings`
for backwards compatibility.
Various options settings in other nixos modules and relevant tests have been
updated to use structural setting for consistency.
The generation and validation of the configration file has been modified to
use `writeTextFile` instead of `runCommand` for clarity. Note that validation
is now mandatory as strict checking of options has been pushed down to the
derivation level due to freeformType consuming unmatched options. Furthermore,
validation can not occur when cross-compiling due to current limitations.
A new option `publicHostKey` was added to the `buildMachines`
submodule corresponding to the base64 encoded public host key settings
exposed in the builder syntax. The build machine generation was subsequently
rewritten to use `concatStringsSep` for better performance by grouping
concatenations.

When running e.g. `aa-genprof` get error:
> ERROR: Syntax Error: Unknown line found in file /etc/apparmor.d/abstractions/pam line 26:
> r /nix/store/XXXXX.pam,mr /nix/store/XXXXX-linux-pam-1.5.1/lib/security/pam_filter/*,
So add an explicit newline as concatMapStringsSep only adds them
between.
In the process I also found that the CapabilityBoundingSet
was restricting the service from listening on port 80, and
the AmbientCapabilities was ineffective. Fixed appropriately.
- Added defaultText for all inheritable options.
- Add docs on using new defaults option to configure
DNS validation for all domains.
- Update DNS docs to show using a service to configure
rfc2136 instead of manual steps.
Allows configuring many default settings for certificates,
all of which can still be overridden on a per-cert basis.
Some options have been moved into .defaults from security.acme,
namely email, server, validMinDays and renewInterval. These
changes will not break existing configurations thanks to
mkChangedOptionModule.
With this, it is also now possible to configure DNS-01 with
web servers whose virtualHosts utilise enableACME. The only
requirement is you set `acmeRoot = null` for each vhost.
The test suite has been revamped to cover these additions
and also to generally make it easier to maintain. Test config
for apache and nginx has been fully standardised, and it
is now much easier to add a new web server if it follows
the same configuration patterns as those two. I have also
optimised the use of switch-to-configuration which should
speed up testing.
Closes#129838
It is possible for the CA to revoke a cert that has not yet
expired. We must run lego to validate this before expiration,
but we must still ignore failures on unexpired certs to retain
compatibility with #85794
Also changed domainHash logic such that a renewal will only
be attempted at all if domains are unchanged, and do a full
run otherwises. Resolves#147540 but will be partially
reverted when go-acme/lego#1532 is resolved + available.
ClosesNixOS/nixpkgs#108237
When a user first adds an ACME cert to their configuration,
it's likely to fail to renew due to DNS misconfig. This is
non-fatal for other services since selfsigned certs are
(usually) put in place to let dependant services start.
Tell the user about this in the logs, and exit 2 for
differentiation purposes.
selfsignedDeps is already appended to the after and wants
of a cert's renewal service, making these redundant.
You can see this if you run the following command:
systemctl list-dependencies --all --reverse acme-selfsigned-mydomain.com.service
This is horrible if you want to debug failures that happened during
system switches but your 30-ish acme clients spam the log with the same
messages over and over again.
ClosesNixOS/nixpkgs#147348
I was able to reproduce this intermittently in the
test suite during the tests for HTTPd. Adding
StartLimitIntervalSec=0 to disable rate limiting
for these services works fine. I added it anywhere
there was a ConditionPathExists.
This should mirror the behavior we implement for sudo: The TERMINFO and
TERMINFO_DIRS variables are inherited from the normal user's
environment, so terminfo files installed in the user's profile can be
found by ncurses applications running as root.
pam_mkhomedir should create homedirs with the same umask as the rest
of the system. Currently it creates homedirs with go+rx which makes
it readable for other non-privileged users.
nixos-rebuild test causes pam_mount to prompt for a password when running with
an encrypted home:
building '/nix/store/p6bflh7n5zy2dql8l45mix9qnzq65hbk-nixos-system-mildred-18.09.git.98592c5da79M.drv'...

reenter password for pam_mount:

(mount.c:72): crypt_activate_by_passphrase: File exists
(pam_mount.c:522): mount of /dev/mapper/vg0-lv_home_peter failed

This change makes pam_mount not prompt. It still tries to remount (and fails in
the process) but that message can be ignored.
Fixes: #44586
The cacert package can now generate p11-kit-compatible output itself,
as well as generating the correct set of outputs for fully-joined
and unbundled "traditional" outputs (in standard PEM and
OpenSSL-compatible formats).
Since 7a10478ea7, all /var except
/var/lib/acme gets mounted in a read-only fashion. This behavior
breaks the existing acme deployments having a webroot set outside of
/var/lib/acme.
Collecting the webroots and adding them to the paths read/write
mounted to the systemd service runtime tree.
Fixes#139310
