- remove dead code
- pass around a lot less redundant stuff
- add a timeout to the read so it can actually fail when characters are dropped
- run the input reader in systemd-cat so we can see the errors on console
This does not actually fix the flakiness in the tests, but it should make it
easier to find.
Before this change, the hash of the etc metadata image was included in
the mount unit that's responsible for mounting this metadata image in the
initrd.
And because this metadata image changes with every change to the etc
contents, the initrd would be rebuild every time as well.
This can lead to a lot of rebuilds (especially when revision info is
included in /etc/os-release) and all these initrd archives use up a lot of
space on the ESP.
With this change, we instead include a symlink to the metadata image in the
top-level directory, in the same way as we already do for things like init and
prepare-root, and we deduce the store path from the init= kernel parameter,
in the same way as we already do to find the path to init and prepare-root.
Doing so avoids rebuilding the initrd all the time.
The URL scheme for downloading plugins has changed a long time ago and
the used URL is dead. Gerrit only throws an error since it can't load
the plugin but it continues to boot. However, instead of maintaining
URLs to 3rdparty plugins, which end up dead anyway, just drop it. The
test should cover Gerrit and not 3rd party plugins.
Also, while on it, drop the setting `plugins.allowRemoteAdmin = true`
since it's not needed.

Tests were not changed according to the new prometheus firewall port
settings.
With this change we now check that the port is not accessible form the
outside, while everything still works from localhost.
When installing NixOS on a machine with Windows, the "easiest" solution
to dual-boot is re-using the existing EFI System Partition (ESP), which
allows systemd-boot to detect Windows automatically.
However, if there are multiple ESPs, maybe even on multiple disks,
systemd-boot is unable to detect the other OSes, and you either have to
use Grub and os-prober, or do a tedious manual configuration as
described in the wiki:
https://wiki.nixos.org/w/index.php?title=Dual_Booting_NixOS_and_Windows&redirect=no#EFI_with_multiple_disks
This commit automates and documents this properly so only a single line
like
boot.loader.systemd-boot.windows."10".efiDeviceHandle = "HD0c2";
is required.
In the future, we might want to try automatically detecting this
during installation, but finding the correct device handle while the
kernel is running is tricky.
