This gets rid of the package called "server" and instead moves
everything into the project root, such that Go actually builds us a
binary called `nixery`.
This is the first step towards factoring out CLI-based functionality
for Nixery.
|
|
Nixery itself is built with the buildLayeredImage system, which takes
some time to create large numbers of layers.
This adjusts the default number of image layers from 96 to 20.
Additionally Nixery's image is often loaded with `docker load -i`,
which ignores layer cache hits anyways.
Additionaly the CI build is configured to use only 1, which speeds up
CI runs.
|
|
|
|
In most cases this is not useful for users without the wrapper script,
so users should always build nixery-bin anyways.
|
|
Some Nix download mechanisms will add a second hash in the store path,
which had been added to the source hash output (breaking argument
interpolation).
|
|
Uses a hash of Nixery's sources as the version displayed when Nixery
launches or logs an error. This makes it possible to distinguish
between errors logged from different versions.
The source hashes should be reproducible between different checkouts
of the same source tree.
|
|
With these changes it is possible to keep Nixery in $GOPATH and build
the server in there, while still having things work correctly via Nix.
|
|
This functionality has been rolled into the server component and is no
longer required.
|
|
|
|
This introduces a new Nix derivation that, given an attribute set of
layer hashes mapped to store paths, will create a layer tarball for
each of the store paths.
This is going to be used by the builder to create layers that are not
present in the cache.
Relates to #50.
|
|
Simplifies the wrapper script used to invoke Nix builds from Nixery to
just contain the essentials, since the layer grouping logic is moving
into the server itself.
|
|
This makes CI build the group-layers tool (and cache it to Cachix!)
|
|
Fixes two launch script compatibility issues with other container
runtimes (such as gvisor):
* don't fail if /tmp already exists
* don't fail if the environment becomes unset
|
|
This is useful when running Nixery locally.
|
|
Introduces three new types representing each of the possible package
sources and moves the logic for specifying the package source to the
server.
Concrete changes:
* Determining whether a specified git reference is a commit vs. a
branch/tag is now done in the server, and is done more precisely by
using a regular expression.
* Package sources now have a new `CacheKey` function which can be used
to retrieve a key under which a build manifest can be cached *if*
the package source is not a moving target (i.e. a full git commit
hash of either nixpkgs or a private repository).
This function is not yet used.
* Users *must* now specify a package source, Nixery no longer defaults
to anything and will fail to launch if no source is configured.
|
|
This package is used by a variety of programs that users may want to
embed into Nixery in addition, for example cachix, but those packages
don't refer to it explicitly.
|
|
This makes it possible to inject additional programs (e.g. Cachix)
into a Nixery container.
|
|
This is required by git in cases where Nixery is configured with a
custom git repository.
I've also added a shell back into the image to make debugging a
running Nixery easier. It turns out some of the dependencies already
pull in bash anyways, so this is just surfacing it to $PATH.
|
|
Some upcoming changes might require the Nix build to be split into
multiple separate nix-build invocations of different expressions, thus
splitting this out is useful.
It also fixes an issue where `build-image/default.nix` might be called
in an environment where no Nix channels are configured.
|
|
ALl the ones except for build-image.nix are considered trivial. On the
latter, nixfmt makes some useful changes but by-and-large it is not
ready for that code yet.
|
|
The issue is described in detail in a comment in
`build-image/default.nix`, please read it.
|
|
Instead of requiring the server component to be made aware of the
location of the Nix builder via environment variables, this commit
introduces a wrapper script for the builder that can simply exist on
the builders $PATH.
This is one step towards a slightly nicer out-of-the-box experience
when using `nix-build -A nixery-bin`.
|
|
|

|
This uses a significantly larger percentage of the total available
layers (125) than before, which means that cache hits for layers
become more likely between images.
|
|
Executes the previously added mdBook on the previously added book
source to yield a directory that can be served by Nixery on its index
page.
This is one of those 'I <3 Nix' things due to how easy it is to do.
|
|
Upstream nixpkgs currently only has an older versin of mdBook. Until
that changes, we keep a different version in here.
|
|
This makes it possible for users to hook basically arbitrary things
into the Nixery container image.
|
|
Shiny, new domain is much better and eliminates the TLS redirect issue
because there is a HSTS preload for the entire .dev TLD (which, by the
way, is awesome!)
|
|
Mea culpa!
|
|
Adds git & SSH as part of the Nixery image, which are required to use
Nix's builtins.fetchGit.
The dependency on interactive tools is dropped, as it was only
required during development when debugging the image building process
itself.
|
|
When running on AppEngine, the image is expected to be configured with
a default entry point / command.
This sets the command to the wrapper script, so that the image can
actually run properly when deployed.
|

When running Nix inside of a container image, there are several
environment-specific details that need to be configured appropriately.
Most importantly, since one of the recent Nix 2.x releases, sandboxing
during builds is enabled by default. This, however, requires kernel
privileges which commonly aren't available to containers.
Nixery's demo instance (for instance, hehe) is deployed on AppEngine
where this type of container configuration is difficult, hence this
change.
Specifically the following were changed:
* additional tools (such as tar/gzip) were introduced into the image
because the builtins-toolset in Nix does not reference these tools
via their store paths, which leads to them not being included
automatically
* Nix sandboxing was disabled in the container image
* the users/groups required by Nix were added to the container setup.
Note that these are being configured manually instead of via the
tools from the 'shadow'-package, because the latter requires some
user information (such as root) to be present already, which is not
the case inside of the container
|

|
|
Introduces a wrapper script which automatically sets the paths to the
required runtime data dependencies.
Additionally configures a container image derivation which will output
a derivation with Nixery, Nix and other dependencies.
|
|
Rather than migrating to Bazel, it seems more appropriate to use Nix
for this project.
The project is split into several different components (for data
dependencies and binaries). A derivation for building an image for
Nixery itself will be added.
