Previously this was done in three derivations (one to build the raw
disk image, one to convert to OVA, one to add a hydra-build-products
file). Now it's done in one step to reduce the amount of copying
to/from S3. In particular, not uploading the raw disk image prevents
us from hitting hydra-queue-runner's size limit of 2 GiB.
Allow usage of list of strings instead of a comma-separated string
for filesystem options. Deprecate the comma-separated string style
with a warning message; convert this to a hard error after 16.09.
15.09 was just released, so this provides a deprecation period during
the 16.03 release.

This is a regression introduced by merging the EBS and S3 images. The
EBS images had a special marker /.ebs to prevent the initrd from using
ephemeral storage for the unionfs, but this marker was missing in the
consolidated image.
The fix is to check the file ami-manifest-path on the metadata server
to see if we're an S3-based instance. This does require networking in
the initrd.
Issue #12613.
The default behavior with an m3.medium instance is to relocate
/nix and /tmp to /disk0 because an assumption is made that any
ephemeral disk is larger than the root volume. Rather than make
that assumption, add a check to see if the disk is larger, and
only then relocate /nix and /tmp.

I've added an alias for multipath_tools to make sure that we don't break
existing configurations referencing the old name.

When using `--ensure-unique-name`, don't needlessly append `"-0"` if the
container name is already unique.
This is especially helpful with NixOps since when it deploys to a
container it uses `--ensure-unique-name`. This means that the container
name will never match the deployment host due to the `"-0"`. Having the
container name and the host name match isn't exactly a requirement, but
it's nice to have and a small change.
- add missing types in module definitions
- add missing 'defaultText' in module definitions
- wrap example with 'literalExample' where necessary in module definitions
Modifies libvirt package to search for configs in /var/lib and changes
libvirtd service to copy the default configs to the new location.
This enables the user to change e.g. the networking configuration with
virsh or virt-manager and keep those settings.
This reverts commit 6353f580f9.
Unfortunately cache=none doesn't work with all filesystem options.
Hydra tests error out with: file system may not support O_DIRECT

Setting nixosVersion to something custom is useful for meaningful GRUB
menus and /nix/store paths, but actuallly changing it rebulids the
whole system path (because of `nixos-version` script and manual
pages). Also, changing it is not a particularly good idea because you
can then be differentitated from other NixOS users by a lot of
programs that read /etc/os-release.
This patch introduces an alternative option that does all you want
from nixosVersion, but rebuilds only the very top system level and
/etc while using your label in the names of system /nix/store paths,
GRUB and other boot loaders' menus, getty greetings and so on.
The docker module used different code for socket-activated docker daemon than for the non-socket activated daemon.
In particular, if the socket-activated daemon is used, then modprobe wasn't set up to be usable and in PATH for
the docker daemon, which resulted in a failure to start the daemon with overlayfs as storageDriver if the
`overlay` kernel module wasn't already loaded. This commit fixes that bug (which only appears if socket
activation is used), and also reduces the duplication between code paths so that it's easier to keep
both in sync in future.
As @domenkozar noted in #10828, cache=writeback seems to do more harm
than good:

He has tested it using the openstack NixOS tests and found that
cache=none significantly improves startup performance.
