This allows us to set things like dependencies in a way that we can
catch typos at eval time.
So instead of
```nix
systemd.services.foo.wants = [ "bar.service" ];
```
we can write
```nix
systemd.services.foo.wants = [ config.systemd.services.bar.name ];
```
which will throw an error if no such service has been defined.
Not all cases can be done like this (eg template services), but in a lot
of cases this will allow to avoid typos.
There is a matching option on the unit option
(`systemd.units."foo.service".name`) as well.
these changes were generated with nixq 0.0.2, by running
nixq ">> lib.mdDoc[remove] Argument[keep]" --batchmode nixos/**.nix
nixq ">> mdDoc[remove] Argument[keep]" --batchmode nixos/**.nix
nixq ">> Inherit >> mdDoc[remove]" --batchmode nixos/**.nix
two mentions of the mdDoc function remain in nixos/, both of which
are inside of comments.
Since lib.mdDoc is already defined as just id, this commit is a no-op as
far as Nix (and the built manual) is concerned.
The maximum length for a GPT label supported by systemd is 36
characters. When a repart definition contains a label that is longer
than the supported maximum length, it is ignored by systemd-repart and
a log message is produced.
The new assertion makes this obvious to the user at evaluation time,
allowing them to either drop the property entirely or choose a supported
label within the length limit instead.
Before there was a kernel modules path named kernel-modules which then got turned
into linux-X.X.XX-modules-shrunk. Now the unshrunk package is called linux-X.X.XX-modules
and gets turned into X.X.XX-modules-shrunk.
These should be defaults as they're pretty reasonable to want to
override as a user. Unsure how to change the slice defaults to be
overridable, that should probably be a later conversation.
Lists are convenient to have in sysupdate configuration when using
multiple `MatchPattern` under `Target` when the target can have multiple
filenames. This use-case is helpful for BootLoaderSpec bootcounting where the target file on
disk can have multiple filenames, and in order for sysupdate to properly
ensure only N number of instances of this target exist at one time, we
need to have multiple match patterns.
Removed patches:
- 0007-Fix-hwdb-paths.patch
The directory we want seems to already be included in the list. Is there
a reason why we want to restrict it further?
- 0010-build-don-t-create-statedir-and-don-t-touch-prefixdi.patch
This patch has little to do with how the meson.build file looks now. The
new patch 0017 is the successor to this one.
- 0015-pkg-config-derive-prefix-from-prefix.patch
This is fixed upstream. We don't need this anymore.
The example systemd-sysupdate transfer name has a ".conf" suffix,
although the files on the final system are already appended with this
suffix, so the file ends up being "transfer-name.conf.conf". Remove the
suffix in the example so that users will get a transfer filename they
expect.
Systemd-repart will use loopback devices for partition creation if it is
able to, and will fallback to doing "offline" partition creation writing
data directly to files. From what I see looking at the repart code,
there are specific features that cannot be taken advantage of when not
using loopback devices (e.g. no BTRFS subvolumes in systemd v255) and in
certain places they have to perform some manual re-sizing work that can
otherwise be avoided.
Since 1557027, makeModulesClosure doesn't create a lib/firmware
directory if there is no firmware in the initramfs. If this happens,
systemd-stage-1 fails to build.
/lib only contains /lib/modules and /lib/firmware, both of while are
from modulesClosure. Therefore, we can just add the entirety of
${modulesClosure}/lib to the initramfs to allow for the possibility that
lib/firmware doesn't exist. This also brings systemd-stage-1 in line
with the traditional stage-1.
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 updates the documentation for the services.journald.rateLimitBurst
option, clarifying that the journal size limit may very well default to
a lot less than 4GB with small disks or disk with not much free space
(eg: virtualized machines)
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
```
