The nixos-generate-config command mentioned in the manual fails with error:
nixos-generate-config: no need to specify `/` with `--root`, it is the default
This was introduced in 611b8c4472
(#161034). Now, the command should be called without any arguments.
Relative paths are interpreted relative to the working directory, which
is currently unset and thus defaults to `/`. However we want to change
the working directory in a future release such that relative paths are
interpreted relative to `/var/lib/syncthing`.
Currently, we build `man-cache` with `runCommandLocal`, which causes it
to get re-built locally instead of fetched from cache. While the
resulting derivation might be small, it does take a fair bit of time to
build for all my systems, and would be _far_ quicker to fetch.
With this change, we use `runCommand` instead of `runCommandLocal`,
allowing it to get fetched from cache instead of rebuilt for all hosts.
fscrypt can automatically unlock directories with the user's login
password. To do this it ships a PAM module which reads the user's
password and loads the respective keys into the user's kernel keyring.
Significant inspiration was taken from the ecryptfs implementation.
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.
Previously we did socket-activation but this breaks the autostart
feature since upstream expects libvirtd to be started unconditionally on
boot.
Fixes#171623.
Previously, the NixOS test often failed as the copied config file is not
overwriteable. In actual setups, the restart interval is much bigger, such that
systemd-tmpfiles will correct the permissions inbetween.
On some occasions, the GitHub runner service encounters errors which are
deemed retryable but result in the runner's termination. To signal a
retryable error, the runner exits with status code 2:
40ed7f8/src/Runner.Common/Constants.cs (L146)
To account for that behavior, this commit sets
`RestartForceExitStatus=2` which results in a service restart regardless
of using an ephemeral runner or not.
* 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.
