Apparently, a non-existent nsswitch.conf causes a very misleading host
resolution, differing from the defaults people are used to.
According to
https://github.com/golang/go/issues/22846#issuecomment-346377144, glibc
says the default is "dns [!UNAVAIL=return] files".
This means, `/etc/hosts` isn't really honored, causing all sorts of
unexpected behaviour.
Let's prevent this, and first ask `/etc/hosts` before querying DNS, like
we do on NixOS too.
skopeo 1.4.x doesn't accept --src-tls-verify as a flag to the *program*,
only as a flag to copy; we must pass it after the "copy" verb, or it
will fail with:
> FATA[0000] unknown flag: --src-tls-verify
skopeo will disable the progress bar if it detects that stdout isn't a
TTY - in order to make it think that stdout _isn't_ a TTY and therefore
avoid it printing a lot of "…" on separate lines, we pipe the output
through cat.
This changes the output from:

Storing signatures
For https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/125211 I tried to test
the fetcher with
nix-build -A dockerTools.examples.nixFromDockerHub --option substitute false
But it failed. I haven't figured out the cause, but the outputs
match, so it's probably the hashing method (flat/recursive) that
changed at some point. (The names did match.)
Adds includeStorePaths, allowing the omission of the store paths.
You generally want to leave it on, but tooling may disable this
to insert the store paths more efficiently via other means, such
as bind mounting the host store.
The `docker load` command supports loading tarballs that contain
multiple docker images with their respective image names and tags. This
enables distributing these images as a single file which simplifies the
release of software when an application requires multiple services to
run.
However, pkgs.dockerTools only create tarballs with a single docker
image and there exists is no mechanism in nixpkgs to combine the created
tarballs. This commit implements merging of tarballs in a way that is
compatible with `docker load`.
For images running on Kubernetes, there is no guarantee on how duplicate
environment variables in the image config will be handled. This seems
to be different from Docker, where the last environment variable value
is consistently selected.
The current code for `streamLayeredImage` was exploiting that assumption
to easily propagate environment variables from the base image, leaving
duplicates unchecked. It should rather resolve these duplicates to
ensure consistent behavior on Docker and Kubernetes.
It is now possible to pass a `fromImage` to `buildLayeredImage` and
`streamLayeredImage`, similar to what `buildImage` currently supports.
This will prepend the layers of the given base image to the resulting
image, while ensuring that at most `maxLayers` are used. It will also
ensure that environment variables from the base image are propagated
to the final image.
When using `buildLayeredImage`, it is not possible to specify an image
name of the form `<registry>/my/image`, although it is a valid name.
This is due to derivations under `buildLayeredImage` using that image
name as their derivation name, but slashes are not permitted in that
context.
A while ago, #13099 fixed that exact same problem in `buildImage` by
using `baseNameOf name` in derivation names instead of `name`. This
change does the same thing for `buildLayeredImage`.
`stream_layered_image.py` currently assumes that the store root will be
at `/nix/store`, although the user might have configured this
differently. This makes `buildLayeredImage` unusable with stores having
a different root, as they will fail an assertion in the python script.
This change updates that assertion to use `builtins.storeDir` as the
source of truth about where the store lives, instead of assuming
`/nix/store`.
Warning about future breaking changes is wrong.
- It suggests that the maintainers don't value backwards compatibility.
They do.
- It implies that other parts of Nixpkgs won't ever break. They will.
- It implies that a well-defined "public" interface exists. It doesn't.
- If the reasons above didn't apply, it should have been in the manual
instead.
Breaking changes will come, especially to the interface. That can be the
only way we can make progress without breaking the image _contents_.
I don't think dockerTools is any different from most of Nixpkgs in
these regards.
Docker (via containerd) and the the OCI Image Configuration imply and
suggest, respectfully, that the architecture set in images matches those
of GOARCH in the Go Language document.
This changeset updates the implimentation of getArch in dockerTools to
return GOARCH values, to satisfy Docker.
Fixes: #106695
This provides a /etc/passwd and /etc/group that contain root and nobody.
Useful when packaging binaries that insist on using nss to look up
username/groups (like nginx).
The current nginx example used the `runAsRoot` parameter to setup
/etc/group and /etc/passwd (which also doesn't exist in
buildLayeredImage), so we can now just use fakeNss there and use
buildLayeredImage.
Informational messages belong on stderr, not on stdout and intermixed
with structured output for programmatic use.

The chroot environment under mnt had /dev and /sys via bind mounts,
but nothing setting up /proc. The `--mount-proc` argument to unshare
defaults to /proc, which is outside of the chroot envirnoment.
The image tag can be specified or generated from the output hash.
Previously, a generated tag could be recovered from the evaluated
image with some string operations.
However, with the introduction of streamLayeredImage, it's not
feasible to compute the generated tag yourself.
With this change, the imageTag attribute is set unconditionally,
for the buildImage, buildLayeredImage, streamLayeredImage functions.
In https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/58431 the authors ensured that
the resulting layer.tar would always list
/nix/
/nix/store/
first to fully comply to the tar spec. Various refactorings later it is only
ensured to create /nix/ but NOT /nix/store anymore. Instead tar transformed
them to /nix/nix and /nix/nix/store.
Calculating the tarsum after creating a layer is inefficient, since
we have to read the tarball we've just written from the disk.
This commit simultaneously calculates the tarsum while creating the
tarball.
Appending to an existing tar archive repeatedly seems to be a quadratic
operation, since tar seems to traverse the existing archive even using
the `-r, --append` flag. This commit avoids that by passing the list of
files to a single tar invocation.
This is useful when buildLayeredImage is called in a generic way
that should allow simple (base) images to be built, which may not
reference any store paths.
Fixes#78744
My previous change broke when there are more packages than the maximum
number of layers. I had assumed that the `store-path-to-layer.sh` was
only ever passed a single store path, but that is not the case if
there are multiple packages going into the final layer. To fix this, we
loop through the paths going into the final layer, appending them to the
tar file and making sure they end up at the right path.
