While this can be added via `services.journald.extraConfig`, this option
provides proper type-checking and other modules can determine
where journal data is stored. This is relevant when using e.g. promtail
to send logs to Loki and it should read from `/run/log/journal` if
volatile storage is used.
Adds a postResumeCommands option to the initramfs to allow inserting
code to execute after the device has attempted to resume, and before
filesystems are mounted. This allows to inject code for operations like
wiping the rootfs on boot; if those were instead put in
postDeviceCommands, on a hibernated device, they would execute before
the device resumes from hibernation.
This is an early preparation for systemd v254 which causes some patch reflows
and EFI-related cleanups to their new build system with elf2efi, requiring pyelftools
as a Python packge.
Just like with system-wide tmpfiles, call `systemd-tmpfiles --create
--remove` for users during activation. This fixes an issue where new
entries in a user's tmpfiles are not reflected after activation, only at
boot when the user service systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service runs or only
after running systemd-tmpfiles manually.
Store the definition files in the initrd instead of reading them from
the Nix store in /sysroot.
This way, the initrd has to be re-generated every time the definition
files change. When the path to the defintion files instead of the
definition files themselves are embedded in the initrd, however, the
initrd also has to be re-generated every time. In this regard, this
change does not improve the status quo.
However, now systemd-repart also works reliable when the Nix store is
mounted separately from the root partition.
This change also enables new use-cases like creating partitions
necessary to boot the system. However, by default, the root partition
cannot be created on first boot because the systemd-repart service
requires a /sysroot to be mounted. Otherwise, systemd-repart cannot
determine the device to operate on.
Since v253, systemd-repart tries to create temporary directories in
/var/tmp. However, this directory doesn't exist in the initrd. This
commit adds an enviroment variable to re-use the existing /tmp directory
instead of /var/tmp.
`systemd-growfs@.service` and `systemd-growfs-root.service` became real units since:
50072ccf1b
we need to add them to the nixos module so growfs works again
systemd now requires the /tmp mount point in the initrd cpio archive
since https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/25723
setting `"/tmp/.keep".text` will create the directory.
this fixes a boot failure:
```
(sd-gens): Failed to overmount /tmp/: No such file or directory
```
This reverts commits f5483464d5 and
6b9583e5e1.
Ideally, we shouldn't cause friction for users that bump `stateVersion`,
and I'd consider having to switch and/or manually hardcode a UID/GID
to supress the warning friction. I think it'd be more beneficial to, in
this rare case of an ID being missed, just let it be until more
discussion happens surrounding this overall issue.
See https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/217785 for more context.
Being able to override `boot.initrd.systemd.initrdBin` with `boot.initrd.systemd.extraBin` is a desirable behavior, so this PR changes the `ln -s` command to `ln -sf` to force link even if the file already exists.
