trying to get all of the podman functionality to work with the wrapper
is becoming more complicated with each release, it isn't sustainable
removing the wrapper does mean that using extraPackages will need to build from source
- remove unnecessary serviceConfig overrides
- set HELPER_BINARIES_DIR to libexec/podman
- use install.bin target on linux for podman/tmpfiles
- also installs quadlet/rootlessport in libexec
- symlink binaries from helpersBin into HELPER_BINARIES_DIR
- remove unnecessary rootlessport output
- remove unnecessary substituteInPlace
The typo creates an empty directory 0755 in initrd rootfs rather than
create the Nix store directories with mode 0755.
I guess setting the mode is not strictly necessary if it worked before
this change, but I'll leave the `-m 0755` in just in case.

...for explicitly named network interfaces
This reverts commit 6ae3e7695e.
(and evaluation fixups 08d26bbb727aed90a969)
Some of the tests fail or time out after the merge.
Adds a new option to the virtualisation modules that enables specifying
explicitly named network interfaces in QEMU VMs. The existing
`virtualisation.vlans` is still supported for cases where the name of
the network interface is irrelevant.
Previously, secrets were named according to the initrd they were
associated with. This created a problem: If secrets were changed whilst
the initrd remained the same, there were two versions of the secrets
with one initrd. The result was that only one version of the secrets would
by recorded into the /boot partition and get used. AFAICT this would
only be the oldest version of the secrets for the given initrd version.
This manifests as #114594, which I found frustrating while trying to use
initrd secrets for the first time. While developing the secrets I found
I could not get new versions of the secrets to take effect.
Additionally, it's a nasty issue to run into if you had cause to change
the initrd secrets for credential rotation, etc, if you change them and
discover you cannot, or alternatively that you can't roll back as you
would expect.
Additional changes in this patch.
* Add a regression test that switching to another grub configuration
with the alternate secrets works. This test relies on the fact that it
is not changing the initrd. I have checked that the test fails if I
undo my change.
* Persist the useBootLoader disk state, similarly to other boot state.
* I had to do this, otherwise I could not find a route to testing the
alternate boot configuration. I did attempt a few different ways of
testing this, including directly running install-grub.pl, but what
I've settled on is most like what a user would do and avoids
depending on lots of internal details.
* Making tests that test the boot are a bit tricky (see hibernate.nix
and installer.nix for inspiration), I found that in addition to
having to copy quite a bit of code I still couldn't get things to
work as desired since the bootloader state was being clobbered.
My change to persist the useBootLoader state could break things,
conceptually. I need some help here discovering if that is the case,
possibly by letting this run through a staging CI if there is one.
Fix#114594.

The aarch64-linux kernel and initrd recently eclipsed 60M, causing the
boot disk image build to run out of space and fail. Double the size of
the image to 120M to fix the issue.
The disk image is stored in expandable qcow2 format, so only the space
actually used by files in the image is consumed. Therefore, other
architectures are not unfairly penalized, and the output size does not
suddenly double.
This also fixes NixOS tests which use this option, like systemd-boot's.
The agent has not been updated for a very long time. In addition to
updating to the newest tagged version the change creates a package for
it.
The existing version has issues with the new python2.7 package not
containing crypt.so file. And the commit
6910a4eea0 I believe introduced
regression that caused the shebang to not be updated.
This adds a new ``parallelShutdown`` option that allows users to control
how many guests can be shut down concurrently. Allowing multiple virtual
machines to be shut down at the same time reduces the amount of time it
takes to reboot the host.

This fixes `lxd init`, which previously failed like this:

Add a section on ordering option definitions.
Also mention `mkDefault` in the section on `mkOverride`.
Clarify the code a bit by renaming `defaultPriority` to
`defaultOverridePriority` and introducing `defaultOrderPriority`.
We don't need both wget and curl, so let's use only curl (which is
part of a minimal NixOS closure, unlike wget).
Logging to the console is helpful for debugging.
Instances without SSH keys configured will receive a 404 from the
metadata server when attempting to fetch an SSH key. This is not an
actual problem though, and shouldn't result in the service failing.
If the metadata server cannot be reached, the script will fail at an
earlier stage when attempting to get authentication data.
This also removes automatic enablement/mounting of instance store swap
devices and ext3 filesystems. This behaviour is strongly opinionated
and shouldn't be enabled by default.
The unionfs behaviour never took effect anyway, because the AMI
manifest path only exists for instance store-backed AMIs, which have
not been supported by nixpkgs since
84742e2293 (2019).
Previously we did socket-activation but this breaks the autostart
feature since upstream expects libvirtd to be started unconditionally on
boot.
Fixes#171623.
Allow building other than Legacy-BIOS-only Proxmox images.
Default is unchanged.
To build UEFI proxmox image use:
proxmox.qemuConf.bios = "ovmf";
(default is "seabios")
To build image bootable using both "seabios" and "ovmf" use:
partitionTableType = "hybrid";
BIOS can be switched in Proxmox between "seabios" and "ovmf" and VM still boots.
(GRUB2-only, systemd-boot does not boot under "seabios")
To build systemd-boot UEFI image:
proxmox.qemuConf.bios = "ovmf";
boot.loader.systemd-boot.enable = true;
This adds an option to the qemu virtualisation module to isolate the
guest's from the host's and outside networks.
This is particularly useful for development sandboxes for example.
The option is disabled by default to preserve the current behaviour.
Use hostPlatform if both the host and the containers nixpkgs supports
hostPlatform, otherwise fall back to localSystem. This preseves backwards
compatibility.
