Without this, systemd-boot does not add an EFI boot entry for itself.
The reason it worked before this fix is because it would fall back to
the default installed \EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI
boot.loader.grub.device` was hardcoded to `bootDevice`, which is
wrong, because that's the device for `/`, and with `useBootLoader`
the boot loader is not on that device.
This bug probably came into existence because of bad naming;
`virtualisation.bootDevice` has description
"The disk to be used for the root filesystem", which is very confusing;
it should be `.rootDevice` then!
Unfortunately, the description is right and the attribute name is wrong,
so it is not easy to change this without deprecation.
This commit ensures that even if you use `useBootLoader` and
`diskInterface == "scsi"`, the created VM can boot through, and can run
`nixos-rebuild afterwards.
It also adds extra commentary to explain what's going on in this module
in general in relation to `useBootLoader`.
VMSGVA is recommended by virtualbox for Linux clients.
Compared to VBoxVGA and VBoxSVGA it also supports 3D acceleration.
Adding the driver makes nixos work with all three supported graphics card
types.
xchg is advertised as a bidirectional exchange dir, but file content
transfer from host to VM fails due to caching:
If a file is read in the VM and then modified on the host, subsequent
re-reads in the VM can yield old, cached data.
This is caused by the use of 9p's cache=loose mode that is explicitly
meant for read-only mounts.
9p doesn't provide any suitable cache modes, so fix this by disabling
caching.
Also, remove a now unnecessary sync in the test driver.
- Update the default pause image
- Set the cgroup manager to systemd
- Enable `manage_ns_lifecycle` instead of the deprecated
`manage_network_ns_lifecycle` option

This follows upstreams change in documentation. While the `[DHCP]`
section might still work it is undocumented and we should probably not
be using it anymore. Users can just upgrade to the new option without
much hassle.
I had to create a bit of custom module deprecation code since the usual
approach doesn't support wildcards in the path.
What's happening now is that both cri-o and podman are creating
/etc/containers/policy.json.
By splitting out the creation of configuration files we can make the
podman module leaner & compose better with other container software.
Many options define their example to be a Nix value without using
literalExample. This sometimes gets rendered incorrectly in the manual,
causing confusion like in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/25516
This fixes it by using literalExample for such options. The list of
option to fix was determined with this expression:
let
nixos = import ./nixos { configuration = {}; };
lib = import ./lib;
valid = d: {
# escapeNixIdentifier from https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/82461
set = lib.all (n: lib.strings.escapeNixIdentifier n == n) (lib.attrNames d) && lib.all (v: valid v) (lib.attrValues d);
list = lib.all (v: valid v) d;
}.${builtins.typeOf d} or true;
optionList = lib.optionAttrSetToDocList nixos.options;
in map (opt: {
file = lib.elemAt opt.declarations 0;
loc = lib.options.showOption opt.loc;
}) (lib.filter (opt: if opt ? example then ! valid opt.example else false) optionList)
which when evaluated will output all options that use a Nix identifier
that would need escaping as an attribute name.
extraModprobeConfig could be applied too late i.e. if the driver has been
loaded in initrd, while the harddrive is still encrypted.
Using a kernelParams works in all cases however.
This commit fixes#76620. It moves ExecStartPre and ExecStopPost to
preStart and postStop, as these options are composable. It thus allows
adding additional initialisation scripts or cleanup scripts to the systemd
unit of the docker container.
This option allows the user to control whether or not the docker container is
automatically started on boot. The previous default behavior (true) is preserved
NixOS has `virtualisation.docker.autoPrune.enable` for this
functionality; we should not do it every time a container starts up.
(also, some trivial documentation fixes)
- the `imageFile` option allows to load an image from a derivation
- the `dependsOn` option can be used to specify dependencies between container systemd units.

Previously, we were storing the leader pid in a runtime file and
signalled SIGRTMIN+4 manually.
In systemd 219, the `machinectl poweroff` command was introduced, which
does that for us.
The missing `\n` in the printf format string prevented multiple channels from
being logged.
The missing `nixpkgs=` in the `NIX_PATH` prevented `nixos-rebuild` from working
if the system configuration has any reference to `nixpkgs`.
Additionally:
* Use process substitution instead of piping printf to avoid creating a subshell.
* Set an empty `IFS` to avoid word splitting.
* Add the `-r` flag to `read` to avoid mangling backslashes.
Currently, LXD always use pkgs.zfs, even if boot.zfs.enableUnstable is set. This
change provides the option to change the LXC, LXD and ZFS packages, and
determines the default ZFS package based on zfs.enableUnstable.
Systemd dependencies for scripted mode
were refactored according to analysis in #34586.
networking.vswitches can now be used with systemd-networkd,
although they are not supported by the daemon, a nixos receipe
creates the switch and attached required interfaces (just like
the scripted version).
Vlans and internal interfaces are implemented following the
template format i.e. each interface is
described using an attributeSet (vlan and type at the moment).
If vlan is present, then interface is added to the vswitch with
given tag (access mode). Type internal enabled vswitch to create
interfaces (see openvswitch docs).
Added configuration for configuring supported openFlow version on
the vswitch
This commit is a split from the original PR #35127.
This makes ~2.5x speed up of an empty container instantiate, hence reduces
rebuild time of system with many declarative containers.
Note that this doesn't affect production systems much, becaseu those most
likely already include `minimal.nix` profile.
A centralized list for these renames is not good because:
- It breaks disabledModules for modules that have a rename defined
- Adding/removing renames for a module means having to find them in the
central file
- Merge conflicts due to multiple people editing the central file
As part of the networking.* name space cleanup, connman should be moved
to services.connman. The same will happen for example with
networkmanager in a separate PR.
While switching NixOS configurations with both
networking.useNetworkd = true;
virtualisation.virtualbox.host.enable;
You often end up waiting for systemd-networkd-wait-online.service.
This happens because the vboxnet0 device doesn't have a carrier until
virtualbox machines are started, so networkd gets stuck in
"Configuring":
⇒ networkctl list
IDX LINK TYPE OPERATIONAL SETUP
1 lo loopback carrier unmanaged
2 wlp2s0 wlan routable unmanaged
3 vboxnet0 ether no-carrier configuring
This updates the NixOS virtualbox host module to include a
RequiredForOnline=no statement in the generated 40-vboxnet0.network
file, so networkd doesn't consider it necessary for
systemd-networkd-wait-online.service to finish.
List all modules that *may* be required depending on individual container
configurations; don't expect that further modules can be loaded after boot.
Fixes https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/38676
Openvswitch was upgraded to the latest
stable version (currenty 2.12.0). This remove ovs-monitor-ipsec
commands.
LTS version is still available using
`config.virtualisation.vswitch.package = pkgs.openvswitch-lts`
it has been upgraded to 2.5.6.
This commit is a split from the original PR #35127.
This fixes the warning being emitted by nixos-rebuild switch:
building Nix...
building the system configuration...
trace: warning: types.string is deprecated because it quietly concatenates strings
It started emitting a warning in #66346.
Since https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/61321, local-fs.target is
part of sysinit.target again, meaning units without
DefaultDependencies=no will automatically depend on it, and the manual
set dependencies can be dropped.
With local-fs.target part of sysinit.target
(https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/61321), we don't need to add it
explicitly to certain units anymore, and can change dependencies like
they are in other distros (I picked from Google's official CentOS 7
image here).
Like them, use StandardOutput=journal+console to pipe google-*.service
output to the serial console as well.
This adds a new ``onBoot`` option that allows specifying the action taken on
guests when the host boots. Specifying "start" ensures all guests that were
running prior to shutdown are started, regardless of their autostart settings.
Specifying "ignore" will make libvirtd ignore such guests. Any guest marked as
autostart will still be automatically started by libvirtd.
systemd provides two sysctl snippets, 50-coredump.conf and
50-default.conf.
These enable:
- Loose reverse path filtering
- Source route filtering
- `fq_codel` as a packet scheduler (this helps to fight bufferbloat)
This also configures the kernel to pass coredumps to `systemd-coredump`.
These sysctl snippets can be found in `/etc/sysctl.d/50-*.conf`,
and overridden via `boot.kernel.sysctl`
(which will place the parameters in `/etc/sysctl.d/60-nixos.conf`.
Let's start using these, like other distros already do for quite some
time, and remove those duplicate `boot.kernel.sysctl` options we
previously did set.
In the case of rp_filter (which systemd would set to 2 (loose)), make
our overrides to "1" more explicit.
We might be inside a NixOS container on a non-NixOS host, so instead of not
running at all inside a container, check if the nix-daemon socket is writable as
it will tell us if the store is managed from here or outside.
Fixes#63578
See https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/15747. Previously this module was called `<unknown-file>`
in error messages, now it is called a bit more close to real:
```
module at /home/danbst/dev/nixpkgs/nixos/modules/virtualisation/containers.nix:470
```
Fix#61859.
Assertion fails when a Google Compute Engine image is built, because
now choices of filesystem types are restricted to `f2fs` and `ext` family if
auto-resizing is enabled.
This change will pin the filesystem used on such an image to be `ext4` for now.
A new internal option `hardware.opengl.setLdLibraryPath` is added which controls if `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` should be set to `/run/opengl-driver(-32)/lib`. It is false by default and is meant to be set to true by any driver which requires it. If this option is false, then `opengl.nix` and `xserver.nix` will not set `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`.
Currently Mesa and NVidia drivers don't set `setLdLibraryPath` because they work with libglvnd and do not override libraries, while `amdgpu-pro`, `ati` and `parallels-guest` set it to true (the former two really need it, the last one doesn't build so is presumed to).
Additionally, the `libPath` attribute within entries of `services.xserver.drivers` is removed. This made `xserver.nix` add the driver path directly to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` for the display manager (including X server). Not only is it redundant when the driver is added to `hardware.opengl.package` (assuming that `hardware.opengl.enable` is true), in fact all current drivers except `ati` set it incorrectly to the package path instead of package/lib.
This removal of `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` could break certain packages using CUDA, but only those that themselves load `libcuda` or other NVidia driver libraries using `dlopen` (not if they just use `cudatoolkit`). A few have already been fixed but it is practically impossible to test all because most packages using CUDA are libraries/frameworks without a simple way to test.
Fixes#11434 if only Mesa or NVidia graphics drivers are used.
Quite some fixing was needed to get this to work.
Changes in VirtualBox and additions:
- VirtualBox is no longer officially supported on 32-bit hosts so i686-linux is removed from platforms
for VirtualBox and the extension pack. 32-bit additions still work.
- There was a refactoring of kernel module makefiles and two resulting bugs affected us which had to be patched.
These bugs were reported to the bug tracker (see comments near patches).
- The Qt5X11Extras makefile patch broke. Fixed it to apply again, making the libraries logic simpler
and more correct (it just uses a different base path instead of always linking to Qt5X11Extras).
- Added a patch to remove "test1" and "test2" kernel messages due to forgotten debugging code.
- virtualbox-host NixOS module: the VirtualBoxVM executable should be setuid not VirtualBox.
This matches how the official installer sets it up.
- Additions: replaced a for loop for installing kernel modules with just a "make install",
which seems to work without any of the things done in the previous code.
- Additions: The package defined buildCommand which resulted in phases not running, including RUNPATH
stripping in fixupPhase, and installPhase was defined which was not even run. Fixed this by
refactoring using phases. Had to set dontStrip otherwise binaries were broken by stripping.
The libdbus path had to be added later in fixupPhase because it is used via dlopen not directly linked.
- Additions: Added zlib and libc to patchelf, otherwise runtime library errors result from some binaries.
For some reason the missing libc only manifested itself for mount.vboxsf when included in the initrd.
Changes in nixos/tests/virtualbox:
- Update the simple-gui test to send the right keys to start the VM. With VirtualBox 5
it was enough to just send "return", but with 6 the Tools thing may be selected by
default. Send "home" to reliably select Tools, "down" to move to the VM and "return"
to start it.
- Disable the VirtualBox UART by default because it causes a crash due to a regression
in VirtualBox (specific to software virtualization and serial port usage). It can
still be enabled using an option but there is an assert that KVM nested virtualization
is enabled, which works around the problem (see below).
- Add an option to enable nested KVM virtualization, allowing VirtualBox to use hardware
virtualization. This works around the UART problem and also allows using 64-bit
guests, but requires a kernel module parameter.
- Add an option to run 64-bit guests. Tested that the tests pass with that. As mentioned
this requires KVM nested virtualization.
Regression introduced by c94005358c.
The commit introduced declarative docker containers and subsequently
enables docker whenever any declarative docker containers are defined.
This is done via an option with type "attrsOf somesubmodule" and a check
on whether the attribute set is empty.
Unfortunately, the check was whether a *list* is empty rather than
wether an attribute set is empty, so "mkIf (cfg != [])" *always*
evaluates to true and thus subsequently enables docker by default:
$ nix-instantiate --eval nixos --arg configuration {} \
-A config.virtualisation.docker.enable
true
Fixing this is simply done by changing the check to "mkIf (cfg != {})".
Tested this by running the "docker-containers" NixOS test and it still
passes.

This otherwise does not eval `:tested` any more, which means no nixos
channel updates.
Regression comes from 0eb6d0735f (#57751)
which added an assertion stopping the use of `autoResize` when the
filesystem cannot be resized automatically.
* WIP: Run Docker containers as declarative systemd services
* PR feedback round 1
* docker-containers: add environment, ports, user, workdir options

* ExecStart instead of script wrapper, %n for container name
* PR feedback: better description and example formatting
* Fix docbook formatting (oops)
* Use a list of strings for ports, expand documentation
* docker-continers: add a simple nixos test
* waitUntilSucceeds to avoid potential weird async issues
* Don't enable docker daemon unless we actually need it
* PR feedback: leave ExecReload undefined
Since 34234dcb51, for resize2fs to be automatically included in
initrd, a filesystem needed for boot must be explicitly defined as an
ext* type filesystem.
