Eelco Dolstra 395d73db70 * nixos-rebuild: don't do a pull of the manifest by default anymore.
It's not necessary when using the NixOS channel.  "nixos-rebuild
  pull" now pulls from the NixOS channel.

Eelco Dolstra e3879fe365 * Store the NixOS version in the top-level derivation.
* Change the name of the top-level derivation from "system" to
  "nixos-<version>".
* Show the NixOS version in the GRUB boot menu instead of the kernel
  version.

Lluís Batlle i Rossell 918edf8612 I think this makes the memtest module work on grub1.
But I can't test it because grub-install fails for me for grub1.

I tested it works for grub2.

Lluís Batlle i Rossell 2ca7e8a43e Reverting 33692, because memtest in the iso was failing.
I set the grub entry for memtest to read "Memtest86", as suggested by Eelco.

I run:
svn merge -c -33692 ^/nixos/trunk
And edited the change a bit.

Eelco Dolstra 096b7723c8 * Add a command "nixos-version" that prints the version of the

  NixOS channel or from the ISO.

Eelco Dolstra 5409e76353 * Disable wicd in the installation CD for now, because it causes
dhcpcd to segfault randomly or give corrupt output.  See e.g.

    http://hydra.nixos.org/build/2380666/nixlog/1/raw

  The problem seems to be that wicd sends a "-k" command to dhcpcd to
  release the interface, which doesn't work well with a dhcpcd that
  handles all interfaces in one process.

Lluís Batlle i Rossell 9017ccf9fe Removing the special memtest.nix module for the isos, and using

2012-04-09 20:36:26 +00:00
Lluís Batlle i Rossell 6e281e46b7 I update the name of the memtest entry in grub of the iso images,
because it can be overriden choosing another memtest86.

As an effect of a change in nixpgks, the isos will include
memtest86 4.0a instead of memtest86+ 4.20, only because the 
former is released later, and I deduce it should work better.

Eelco Dolstra 4f4c529979 Stage 1 improvements:
* Load scsi_wait_scan after all other kernel modules to ensure that
  all SCSI device nodes have been created.
* Increase the timeout for the appearance of the root device to 20
  seconds.
* Do a "udevadm settle" just after the root device has appeared to
  make sure that udev isn't accessing the device anymore (hopefully).
  On EC2 (Xen), I've seen fsck on the root fail randomly with "device
  in use" errors.

Peter Simons 20b364f4de Reverting revisions 30103-30106: "always set nixpkgs.config.{state,store}Dir", etc.
After the change from revision 30103, nixos-rebuild suddenly consumed
freaky amounts of memory. I had to abort the process after it had
allocated well in excess of 30GB(!) of RAM. I'm not sure what is causing
this behavior, but undoing that assignment fixes the problem. The other
two commits needed to be revoked, too, because they depend on 30103.

2010-10-31 19:34:39 +00:00
Sander van der Burg 9c722e474d - Added nixos-build-vms command, which builds a virtual network from a network.nix expression (also used by nixos-deploy-network)
- Added a backdoor option to the interactive run-vms script. This allows me to intergrate the virtual network approach with Disnix
- Small documentation fixes

Some explanation:

The nixos-build-vms command line tool can be used to build a virtual network of a network.nix specification.
For example, a network configuration (network.nix) could look like this:

{
  test1 = 
    {pkgs, config, ...}:
 
    {
      services.openssh.enable = true;
      ...
    };

  test2 =
    {pkgs, config, ...}:
    
    {
      services.openssh.enable = true;
      services.xserver.enable = true;
    }

    ;
}

By typing the following instruction:

$ nixos-build-vms -n network.nix

a virtual network is built, which can be started by typing:

$ ./result/bin/run-vms

It is also possible to enable a backdoor. In this case *.socket files are stored in the current directory
which can be used by the end-user to invoke remote instruction on a VM in the network through a Unix
domain socket.

For example by building the network with the following instructions:

$ nixos-build-vms -n network.nix --use-backdoor

and launching the virtual network:

$ ./result/bin/run-vms

You can find two socket files in your current directory, namely: test1.socket and test2.socket.
These Unix domain sockets can be used to remotely administer the test1 and test2 machine
in the virtual network.

For example by running:

$ socat ./test1.socket stdio
ls /root

You can retrieve the contents of the /root directory of the virtual machine with identifier test1

2010-10-10 11:46:57 +00:00
Sander van der Burg 122e125d6b Added the nixos-deploy-network tool. With this tool you can write a network of NixOS configurations, e.g.:
{
  test1 = {pkgs, config, ...}:
    {
       # NixOS config of machine test1
       ...
    };

  test2 = {pkgs, config, ...}:
    {
       # NixOS config of machine test2
       ...
    };
}

And an infrastructure expression, e.g:

{
  test1 = {
    hostName = "test1.example.org";
    system = "i686-linux";
  };
  test2 = {
    hostName = "test2.example.org";
    system = "x86_64-linux";
  };
}

And by executing:

nixos-deploy-network -n network.nix -i infrastructure.nix

The system configurations in the network expression are built, transferred to the machines in the network and finally activated.
