This allows capping the total amount of memory that will be used for
zram-swap, in addition to the percentage-based calculation, which is
useful when blanket-applying a configuration to many machines.
This is based off the strategy used by Fedora for their rollout of
zram-swap-by-default in Fedora 33
(https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/SwapOnZRAM), which caps the
maximum amount of memory used for zram at 4GiB.
In future it might be good to port this to the systemd zram-generator,
instead of using this separate infrastructure.
This release replaces the libpulseaudio shim with a pipewire module that acts as a fake pulseaudio server along with a systemd service that loads that module on demand.
The metadata fetcher scripts run each time an instance starts, and it
is not safe to assume that responses from the instance metadata
service (IMDS) will be as they were on first boot.
Example: an EC2 instance can have its user data changed while
the instance is stopped. When the instance is restarted, we want to
see the new user data applied.
The old slapd.conf is deprecated. Replace with slapd.d, and use this
opportunity to write some structured settings.
Incidentally, this fixes the fact that openldap is reported up before
any checks have completed, by using forking mode.
According to Freenode's ##AWS, the metadata server can sometimes
take a few moments to get its shoes on, and the very first boot
of a machine can see failed requests for a few moments.
AWS's metadata service has two versions. Version 1 allowed plain HTTP
requests to get metadata. However, this was frequently abused when a
user could trick an AWS-hosted server in to proxying requests to the
metadata service. Since the metadata service is frequently used to
generate AWS access keys, this is pretty gnarly. Version two is
identical except it requires the caller to request a token and provide
it on each request.
Today, starting a NixOS AMI in EC2 where the metadata service is
configured to only allow v2 requests fails: the user's SSH key is not
placed, and configuration provided by the user-data is not applied.
The server is useless. This patch addresses that.
Note the dependency on curl is not a joyful one, and it expand the
initrd by 30M. However, see the added comment for more information
about why this is needed. Note the idea of using `echo` and `nc` are
laughable. Don't do that.
This gets automatically disabled by docker if the docker backend is
used, but the bundled containerd also doesn't seem to support cgroupsv2,
so disable it explicitly here, too.
See https://www.redhat.com/sysadmin/fedora-31-control-group-v2 for
details on why this is desirable, and how it impacts containers.
Users that need to keep using the old cgroup hierarchy can re-enable it
by setting `systemd.unifiedCgroupHierarchy` to `false`.
Well-known candidates not supporting that hierarchy, like docker and
hidepid=… will disable it automatically.
Fixes#73800
Whenever I try to scan from another computer it has to establish >2
connections in order to succeed. With the connections being limited to 1
I can not scan any document.
This is also what other distributions ([Debian], [ArchLinux], …) have
done in one way or another.

We currently build CONFIG_IPV6=m.
This seems to be not really well-supported in mainline kernels - see
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20201115224509.2020651-1-flokli@flokli.de/T/#u
Compiling it as a module doesn't give too much benefit - even for people
who did explicitly set `enableIPv6` to false, the `ipv6` module was
still loaded, as soon as another module was loaded that requires it
(bridge,br_netfilter,wireguard,ip6table_mangle,sctp,…).
By compiling it in, we only loose the possibility to not add it to
`boot.kernelModules` anymore (as it's part of the kernel directly). The
space savings are negligible.
People wanting to disable IPv6 still get the appropriate sysctls and
options set (while having the kernel code loaded), nothing is really
changing here.
This adds a `package` option to allow for easier overriding of the used
CodiMD version and `runCommandLocal` with `nativeBuildInputs` is now
used to pretty print the configuration.
