ptsd

Public Nix configurations.

AWS builder

  • aws ec2 import-key-pair --key-name tp1 --public-key-material fileb://~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub
  • aws ec2 run-instances --image-id ami-0b9c95d926ab9474c --instance-type a1.4xlarge --key-name tp1 --security-groups allow-all --block-device-mappings 'DeviceName=/dev/xvda,Ebs={VolumeSize=40}'
  • accept ssh host key as user & root
  • nix build .#nixosConfigurations.pine2_sdimage.config.system.build.kernel --builders 'ssh://[email protected] aarch64-linux - 96 - big-parallel' --max-jobs 0 --builders-use-substitutes

Setup

Add the ptsd channel using

$ nix-channel --add https://git.nerdworks.de/nerdworks/ptsd/archive/master.tar.gz ptsd
$ nix-channel --update

Hacking on ptsd

Make sure to remove the ptsd channel first to avoid conflicts. Then include local checkout of ptsd in nix builds by altering the NIX_PATH variable.

E.g. to use local checkout in home-manager:

NIX_PATH=$NIX_PATH:ptsd=$HOME/ptsd home-manager build

or when rebuilding using sudo:

sudo nixos-rebuild -I ptsd=$HOME/ptsd build

Provision AWS remote builder

  1. Configure instance, allow SSH access, configure large enough disk (e.g. 20GB), use ami-0886e2450125a1f08
  2. Login via ssh to instance as admin user
  3. Install rsync & git: sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y rsync git
  4. Install nix in multi user mode: sh <(curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install) --daemon
  5. Fix PATH: echo 'PATH=/nix/var/nix/profiles/default/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin' | sudo tee -a /etc/environment
  6. Configure nix: echo 'trusted-users = admin\nmax-jobs = 8' | sudo tee -a /etc/nix/nix.conf && sudo systemctl restart nix-daemon.service
  7. On dev machine, add SSH-Key: ssh-copy-id -f -i /run/keys/ssh.id_ed25519.pub awsbuilder
  8. Accept host public key for root user: sudo ssh awsbuilder

Tips

/var/src requirements

Ensure at least 100k inodes (e.g. by tuning the bytes-per-inode ratio as in mkfs.ext4 -i 2048 /dev/sysVG/var-src for a 300M drive.)

Get predictable network interface name

as used by systemd e.g. udevadm test-builtin net_id /sys/class/net/enp39s0

Quick deployment of package needing compilation

nix-copy-closure --to root@apu2 $(nix-build -E 'with import <nixpkgs> {}; callPackage ./5pkgs/nwhass {}')

Force cert renewal

Add security.acme.validMinDays = 999; to your config and rebuild. Remember to remove it again...

Generate TLSA DANE record for mailserver

Run tlsa --port 25 --starttls smtp --create htz2.nn42.de --selector 1 to generate updated hash from mailserver certificate.

Or run nix-shell -p gnutls.bin --run "danetool --tlsa-rr --host htz2.nn42.de --port 25 --load-certificate /var/lib/acme/htz2.nn42.de/cert.pem" on htz2.

Run check_ssl_cert -H htz2.nn42.de -p 25 -P smtp --dane 1 to check it.

Upgrade postgres

  environment.systemPackages =
    let newpg = pkgs.postgresql_13;
    in [
      (pkgs.writeScriptBin "upgrade-pg-cluster" ''
        set -x
        export OLDDATA="${config.services.postgresql.dataDir}"
        export NEWDATA="/var/lib/postgresql/${newpg.psqlSchema}"
        export OLDBIN="${config.services.postgresql.package}/bin"
        export NEWBIN="${newpg}/bin"

        install -d -m 0700 -o postgres -g postgres "$NEWDATA"
        cd "$NEWDATA"
        sudo -u postgres $NEWBIN/initdb -D "$NEWDATA" --locale=de_DE.UTF-8

        systemctl stop postgresql    # old one

        sudo -u postgres $NEWBIN/pg_upgrade \
          --old-datadir "$OLDDATA" --new-datadir "$NEWDATA" \
          --old-bindir $OLDBIN --new-bindir $NEWBIN \
          "$@"
      '')
    ];
