nixos-generate-config: do not build btrfs-tools when btrfs is not used
cross-compilation of `btrfs-tools` is broken, and this usually needless dependency of each system closure on `btrfs-tools` prevents cross-compilation of whole system closures

nixos-prepare-root: Remove
This is no longer needed thanks to Nix 2.0 magic.

nixos-install: Make compatible with Nix 2.0
The use of Nix 2.0 significantly simplifies the installer, since we
can just pass a different store URI (--store /mnt) - it's no longer
needed to set up a chroot environment for the build, and to bootstrap
Nix into the chroot.

Also, commands that need to run in the installation (namely boot
loader installation and setting a root password) are now executed
using nixos-enter.

This also removes the need for nixos-prepare-root since any required
initialisation is done by Nix or by the activation script.

Eelco Dolstra 60cb23001a
Add a "nixos-enter" command
This factors out the functionality in nixos-install for running a
command inside a NixOS installation (nixos-install --chroot).

Dan Peebles d990aa7163 Refactor nixos-install to separate out filesystem build logic
The key distinction I'm drawing is that there's a component that deals
with the store of the machine being built, and another component for
the store building it. The inner part of it assumes nothing from the
builder (doesn't need chroot or root powers) so it can run comfortably
inside a Nix build, as well as nixos-rebuild. I have some upcoming work
that will use that to significantly speed up and streamline image builds
for NixOS, especially on virtualized hosts like EC2, but it's also a
reasonable speedup on native hosts.

obadz 3f1ceae281 Partially revert "Revert "nixos: remove rsync from base install and add explicit path in nixos-install""
This partially reverts commit 0aa7520670.

Fine for rsync to be in system path but we still need the explicit path
in nixos-install in case it is invoked from non-NixOS systems and also
to fix OVA test failure

Eelco Dolstra 0aa7520670 Revert "nixos: remove rsync from base install and add explicit path in nixos-install"
This reverts commit 582313bafe.

Removing rsync is actually pointless because nixos-install depends on
it. So if it's part of the system closure, we may as well provide it
to users.

Probably with the next Nix release we can drop the use of rsync and
use "nix copy" instead.

obadz 24f8cf08cc nixos/lib/make-disk-image: refactor to use nixos-install
- 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.

obadz 806e88c137 nixos-install: cleanups & improvements to run on non-NixOS systems
- 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 ✓

Eelco Dolstra f3d94cfc23 Revert "Add the tool "nixos-typecheck" that can check an option declaration to:"
This reverts commit cad8957eab. It
breaks NixOps, but more importantly, such major changes to the module
system really need to be reviewed.
2016-03-01 20:52:06 +01:00
Thomas Strobel cad8957eab Add the tool "nixos-typecheck" that can check an option declaration to:
- Enforce that an option declaration has a "defaultText" if and only if the
   type of the option derives from "package", "packageSet" or "nixpkgsConfig"
   and if a "default" attribute is defined.

 - Enforce that the value of the "example" attribute is wrapped with "literalExample"
   if the type of the option derives from "package", "packageSet" or "nixpkgsConfig".

 - Warn if a "defaultText" is defined in an option declaration if the type of
   the option does not derive from "package", "packageSet" or "nixpkgsConfig".

 - Warn if no "type" is defined in an option declaration.

Eelco Dolstra 43c4756090 Add auto update feature

Eelco Dolstra d166c854b6 Add option system.stateVersion
This option requests compatibility with older NixOS releases with
respect to stateful data, in cases where new releases have defaults
that might be incompatible with system state of existing NixOS
deployments. For instance, if we change the default version of
PostgreSQL, existing deployments will break if the new version can't
read databases created by the old version.

So for example, setting

  system.stateVersion = "15.07";

requests that options like services.postgresql.package use defaults
corresponding to the 15.07 release branch. Note that
nixos-generate-config emits this option. (In the future, NixOps may
set system.stateVersion to the NixOS release in use when the machine
was created.)

See also #7939 for another motivating example.

Eelco Dolstra 8c75ae3838 nixos-generate-config: Use systemd-detect-virt instead of dmidecode

systemd-detect-virt.

Eelco Dolstra 29027fd1e1 Rewrite ‘with pkgs.lib’ -> ‘with lib’
Using pkgs.lib on the spine of module evaluation is problematic
because the pkgs argument depends on the result of module
evaluation. To prevent an infinite recursion, pkgs and some of the
modules are evaluated twice, which is inefficient. Using ‘with lib’
prevents this problem.
