Netdata creates its control socket at /tmp/netdata-ipc by default, which
is insecure and actually inaccessible with systemd's PrivateTmp enabled.
Originally we patched its source code to move the socket to
/run/netdata/ipc. However, it was removed due to incompatibility when
upgrading to v1.41.0: 1d2a2dc7d0
Fortunately, this new version of netdata adds support for setting the
location of the control socket via the environment variable
NETDATA_PIPENAME. So let's set it for the netdata service and the
command line utility so that they can communicate properly.
The test sporadically failed on hydra when a request was made
before the service was actually listening on its port.
Explicitly wait for the port to open.
The web_access.patch would no longer apply.
It disabled a check that required the static files
for the web UI to be owned by the user the daemon runs as
(not root, so it doesn't work well with nix).
Besides updating netdata, this commit removes that patch,
changes the netdata service config to set the "web files owner/group"
option to "root" and adds a test that checks that the web UI is being served.
This allows the web files to be owned by root without patching.
apps.plugin requires capabilities for full process monitoring. with
1.9.0, netdata allows multiple directories to search for plugins and the
setuid directory can be specified here.
the module is backwards compatible with older configs. a test is
included that verifies data gathering for the elevated privileges. one
additional attribute is added to make configuration more generic than
including configuration in string form.
