PR #277382 didn't fix just an issue with .mjs files for the `forms` app,
but an underlying, more problematic issue: for `/nix-apps` &
`/store-apps`, the fcgi config for PHP and the block for assets were
never reached.
That meant that e.g. `/nix-apps/notes/lib/AppInfo/Application.php`
returned the PHP source code as text/plain. Considering that there was
never a fundamental change to how this config's structure, I'm pretty
sure that the issue was pretty much there since the module exists.
After consulting the NixOS security team we agreed that this is most
likely harmless because you'd have to use private apps with secrets in
the raw PHP code of said app. However, this is still problematic because
one important assumption - that PHP code is never sent to the browser -
is broken which is why we decided on not mentioning this impact in the
previous PR from December 2023.
To make sure that we don't regress our nginx config, I decided to add
the reproducer which fails on 8bbbb228b4
as testcase to our integration tests.
Starting with Rclone v1.63, which is used in the Nextcloud tests for
synchronization, the client relies on the correct WebDAV endpoint url,
see https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/7103
* Ensure that the redis cache is actually used in the "trivial" case
(`with-postgresql-and-redis`)
* Test against all Nextcloud versions we've packaged
* Actually set a secret to make sure that the provided secret is
properly read by Nextcloud.
* Add myself as maintainer to the secret-test to make sure that I don't
miss any more changes like this that could break the functionality of
that feature.
It's supposed to be `memcache.distributed`, not an associative PHP array
named `memcache` with a key `distributed`.
This was probably never caught because the initial `grep -q` check in
the test was invalid: `redis-cli` prints nothing if no keys can be found
when not writing to a tty apparently.
Because nextcloud ships their prerelease versions on a different url, we
are not parsing the version string to detect which path to use. We also
enabled and validated this change via nixos module testing.
Upon testing the change itself I realized that it doesn't build properly
because
* the `pname` of a php extension is `php-<name>`, not `<name>`.
* calling the extension `openssl-legacy` resulted in PHP trying to compile
`ext/openssl-legacy` which broke since it doesn't exist:
source root is php-8.1.12
setting SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH to timestamp 1666719000 of file php-8.1.12/win32/wsyslog.c

I didn't encounter that one before because I was mostly interested in
having a sane behavior for everyone not using this "feature" and the
documentation around this. My findings about the behavior with turning
openssl1.1 on/off are still valid because I tested this on `master` with
manually replacing `openssl` by `openssl_1_1` in `php-packages.nix`.
To work around the issue I had to slightly modify the extension
build-system for PHP:
* The attribute `extensionName` is now relevant to determine the output
paths (e.g. `lib/openssl.so`). This is not a behavioral change for
existing extensions because then `extensionName==name`.
However when specifying `extName` in `php-packages.nix` this value is
overridden and it is made sure that the extension called `extName` NOT
`name` (i.e. `openssl` vs `openssl-legacy`) is built and installed.
The `name` still has to be kept to keep the legacy openssl available
as `php.extensions.openssl-legacy`.
Additionally I implemented a small VM test to check the behavior with
server-side encryption:
* For `stateVersion` below 22.11, OpenSSL 1.1 is used (in `basic.nix`
it's checked that OpenSSL 3 is used). With that the "default"
behavior of the module is checked.
* It is ensured that the PHP interpreter for Nextcloud's php-fpm
actually loads the correct openssl extension.
* It is tested that (encrypted) files remain usable when (temporarily)
installing OpenSSL3 (of course then they're not decryptable, but on a
rollback that should still be possible).
Finally, a few more documentation changes:
* I also mentioned the issue in `nextcloud.xml` to make sure the issue
is at least mentioned in the manual section about Nextcloud. Not too
much detail here, but the relevant option `enableBrokenCiphersForSSE`
is referenced.
* I fixed a few minor wording issues to also give the full context
(we're talking about Nextcloud; we're talking about the PHP extension
**only**; please check if you really need this even though it's
enabled by default).
This is because I felt that sometimes it might be hard to understand
what's going on when e.g. an eval-warning appears without telling where
exactly it comes from.
* s/NextCloud/Nextcloud/g
* `enableBrokenCiphersForSSE` should be enabled by default for any NixOS
installation from before 22.11 to make sure existing installations
don't run into the issue. Not the other way round.
* Update release notes to reflect on that.
* Improve wording of the warning a bit: explain which option to change
to get rid of it.
* Ensure that basic tests w/o `enableBrokenCiphersForSSE` run with
OpenSSL 3.
Added Nextcloud 23 and set it as the default Nextcloud version for the
NixOS module. Added PHP 8.1 as an option for phpPackage and default for
Nextcloud ≥ 24.
The version 20 of Nextcloud will be EOLed by the end of this month[1].
Since the recommended default (that didn't raise an eval-warning) on
21.05 was Nextcloud 21, this shouldn't affect too many people.
In order to ensure that nobody does a (not working) upgrade across
several major-versions of Nextcloud, I replaced the derivation of
`nextcloud20` with a `throw` that provides instructions how to proceed.
The only case that I consider "risky" is a setup upgraded from 21.05 (or
older) with a `system.stateVersion` <21.11 and with
`services.nextcloud.package` not explicitly declared in its config. To
avoid that, I also left the `else-if` for `stateVersion < 21.03` which
now sets `services.nextcloud.package` to `pkgs.nextcloud20` and thus
leads to an eval-error. This condition can be removed
as soon as 21.05 is EOL because then it's safe to assume that only
21.11. is used as stable release where no Nextcloud <=20 exists that can
lead to such an issue.
It can't be removed earlier because then every `system.stateVersion <
21.11` would lead to `nextcloud21` which is a problem if `nextcloud19`
is still used.

A few minor changes to get #119638 - nextcloud: add option to set
datadir and extensions - ready:
* `cfg.datadir` now gets `cfg.home` as default to make the type
non-nullable.
* Enhanced the `basic` test to check the behavior with a custom datadir
that's not `/var/lib/nextcloud`.
* Fix hashes for apps in option example.
* Simplify if/else for `appstoreenable` in override config.
* Simplify a few `mapAttrsToList`-expressions in
`nextcloud-setup.service`.
The MariaDB version 10.6 doesn't seem supported with current Nextcloud
versions and the test fails with the following error[1]:
nextcloud # [ 14.950034] nextcloud-setup-start[1001]: Error while trying to initialise the database: An exception occurred while executing a query: SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 4047 InnoDB refuses to write tables with ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED or KEY_BLOCK_SIZE.
According to a support-thread in upstream's Discourse[2] this is because
of a missing support so far.
Considering that we haven't received any bugreports so far - even though
the issue already exists on master - and the workaround[3] appears to
work fine, an evaluation warning for administrators should be
sufficient.

This doesn't work anymore and thus breaks the installation leaving a
broken `/var/lib/nextcloud`.
It isn't a big deal since we set this value in the override config
before, so the correct table-prefix is still used. In order to confirm
that, I decided to add a custom prefix to the basic test.
This is a dummy test that doesn't do much — the secretFile option is
just used to set the database type to postgres; otherwise this is an
exact copy of the with-postgresql-and-redis.nix test, though with the
redis components removed.
