Florian Klink 3c74e48d9c nixos/filesystems: ensure keys gid on /run/keys mountpoint
boot.specialFileSystems is used to describe mount points to be set up in
stage 1 and 2.

We use it to create /run/keys already there, so sshd-in-initrd scenarios
can consume keys sent over through nixops send-keys.

However, it seems the kernel only supports the gid=… option for tmpfs,
not ramfs, causing /run/keys to be owned by the root group, not keys
group.

This was/is worked around in nixops by running a chown root:keys
/run/keys whenever pushing keys [1], and as machines had to have pushed keys
to be usable, this was pretty much always the case.

This is causing regressions in setups not provisioned via nixops, that
still use /run/keys for secrets (through cloud provider startup scripts
for example), as suddenly being an owner of the "keys" group isn't
enough to access the folder.

This PR removes the defunct gid=… option in the mount script called in
stage 1 and 2, and introduces a tmpfiles rule which takes care of fixing
up permissions as part of sysinit.target (very early in systemd bootup,
so before regular services are started).

In case of nixops deployments, this doesn't change anything.
nixops-based deployments receiving secrets from nixops send-keys in
initrd will simply have the permissions already set once tmpfiles is
started.

Fixes #42344

Nixpkgs is a collection of over 40,000 software packages that can be installed with the Nix package manager. It also implements NixOS, a purely-functional Linux distribution.

Manuals

  • NixOS Manual - how to install, configure, and maintain a purely-functional Linux distribution
  • Nixpkgs Manual - contributing to Nixpkgs and using programming-language-specific Nix expressions
  • Nix Package Manager Manual - how to write Nix expressions (programs), and how to use Nix command line tools

Community

Other Project Repositories

The sources of all official Nix-related projects are in the NixOS organization on GitHub. Here are some of the main ones:

Continuous Integration and Distribution

Nixpkgs and NixOS are built and tested by our continuous integration system, Hydra.

Artifacts successfully built with Hydra are published to cache at https://cache.nixos.org/. When successful build and test criteria are met, the Nixpkgs expressions are distributed via Nix channels.

Contributing

Nixpkgs is among the most active projects on GitHub. While thousands of open issues and pull requests might seem a lot at first, it helps consider it in the context of the scope of the project. Nixpkgs describes how to build over 40,000 pieces of software and implements a Linux distribution. The GitHub Insights page gives a sense of the project activity.

Community contributions are always welcome through GitHub Issues and Pull Requests. When pull requests are made, our tooling automation bot, OfBorg will perform various checks to help ensure expression quality.

The Nixpkgs maintainers are people who have assigned themselves to maintain specific individual packages. We encourage people who care about a package to assign themselves as a maintainer. When a pull request is made against a package, OfBorg will notify the appropriate maintainer(s). The Nixpkgs committers are people who have been given permission to merge.

Most contributions are based on and merged into these branches:

  • master is the main branch where all small contributions go
  • staging is branched from master, changes that have a big impact on Hydra builds go to this branch
  • staging-next is branched from staging and only fixes to stabilize and security fixes with a big impact on Hydra builds should be contributed to this branch. This branch is merged into master when deemed of sufficiently high quality

For more information about contributing to the project, please visit the contributing page.

Donations

The infrastructure for NixOS and related projects is maintained by a nonprofit organization, the NixOS Foundation. To ensure the continuity and expansion of the NixOS infrastructure, we are looking for donations to our organization.
