gdnc is a user process and can't be made into a NixOS module very
easily. It can still be put in the user's login script. According to the
GNUstep documentation it will be started as soon as it is needed.
- Replace hand-rolled version of nixos-install in make-disk-image by an
actual call to nixos-install
- Required a few cleanups of nixos-install
- nixos-install invokes an activation script which the hand-rolled version
in make-disk-image did not do. We remove /etc/machine-id as that's
a host-specific, impure, output of the activation script
Testing:
nix-build '<nixpkgs/nixos/release.nix>' -A tests.installer.simple passes
Also tried generating an image with:
nix-build -E 'let
pkgs = import <nixpkgs> {};
lib = pkgs.lib;
nixos = import <nixpkgs/nixos> {
configuration = {
fileSystems."/".device = "/dev/disk/by-label/nixos";
boot.loader.grub.devices = [ "/dev/sda" ];
boot.loader.grub.extraEntries = '"''"'
menuentry "Ubuntu" {
insmod ext2
search --set=root --label ubuntu
configfile /boot/grub/grub.cfg
}
'"''"';
};
};
in import <nixpkgs/nixos/lib/make-disk-image.nix> {
inherit pkgs lib;
config = nixos.config;
diskSize = 2000;
partitioned = false;
installBootLoader = false;
}'
Then installed the image:
$ sudo df if=./result/nixos.img of=/dev/sdaX bs=1M
$ sudo resize2fs /dev/disk/by-label/nixos
$ sudo mount /dev/disk/by-label/nixos /mnt
$ sudo mount --rbind /proc /mnt/proc
$ sudo mount --rbind /dev /mnt/dev
$ sudo chroot /mnt /nix/var/nix/profiles/system/bin/switch-to-configuration boot
[ … optionally do something about passwords … ]
and successfully rebooted to that image.
Was doing all this from inside a Ubuntu VM with a single user nix install.
- Fix --no-bootloader which didn't do what it advertised
- Hardcode nixbld GID so that systems which do not have a nixbld user
can still run nixos-install (only with --closure since they can't
build anything)
- Cleanup: get rid of NIX_CONF_DIR(=/tmp)/nix.conf and pass arguments instead
- Cleanup: don't assume that the target system has '<nixpkgs/nixos>' or
'<nixos-config>' to see if config.users.mutableUsers. Instead check if
/var/setuid-wrappers/passwd is there
Installing NixOS now works from a Ubuntu host (using --closure).
nix-build -A tests.installer.simple '<nixpkgs/nixos/release.nix>' succeeds ✓
While useless, some builds may dabble with setuid bits (e.g.,
util-linux), which breaks under grsec. In the interest of user
friendliness, we once again compromise by disabling an otherwise useful
feature ...

It uses import-from-derivation, which is a bad thing, because this
causes hydra-evaluator to build Cassandra at evaluation time.
$ nix-instantiate nixos/release.nix -A tests.cassandra.i686-linux --dry-run
error: cannot read ‘/nix/store/c41blyjz6pfvk9fnvrn6miihq5w3j0l4-cassandra-2.0.16/conf/cassandra-env.sh’, since path ‘/nix/store/0j9ax4z8xhaz5lhrwl3bwj10waxs3hgy-cassandra-2.0.16.drv’ is not valid, at /home/eelco/Dev/nixpkgs/nixos/modules/services/databases/cassandra.nix:373:11
Also, the module is a mess (bad option descriptions, poor indentation,
a gazillion options where a generic "config" option would suffice, it
opens ports in the firewall, it sets vm.swappiness, ...).
- Agent now takes a full URL to the Go.CD server
- Instruct the agent to attempt restart every 30s upon failure
- Test's Accept header did not match the server's expectation
- Replace the tests' complex Awk matches with calls to `jq`
Update gocd-agent package version to 16.6.0-3590 including new sha. Modify heapSize
and maxMemory mkOption to accurately reflect their intended purpose of configuring
initial java heap sizes.
