2023-06-13Allow tarball URLs to redirect to a lockable immutable URLEelco Dolstra
Previously, for tarball flakes, we recorded the original URL of the tarball flake, rather than the URL to which it ultimately redirects. Thus, a flake URL like http://example.org/patchelf-latest.tar that redirects to http://example.org/patchelf-<revision>.tar was not really usable. We couldn't record the redirected URL, because sites like GitHub redirect to CDN URLs that we can't rely on to be stable. So now we use the redirected URL only if the server returns the `x-nix-is-immutable` or `x-amz-meta-nix-is-immutable` headers in its response.

2023-03-17Add a setting for configuring the SSL certificates fileEelco Dolstra
This provides a platform-independent way to configure the SSL certificates file in the Nix daemon. Previously we provided instructions for overriding the environment variable in launchd, but that obviously doesn't work with systemd. Now we can just tell users to add ssl-cert-file = /etc/ssl/my-certificate-bundle.crt to their nix.conf.

2023-02-03advertise transport encoding in http transfers toJörg Thalheim
tl;dr: With this 1 line change I was able to get a speedup of 1.5x on 1Gbit/s wan connections by enabling zstd compression in nginx. Also nix already supported all common compression format for http transfer, webservers usually only enable them if they are advertised through the Accept-Encoding header. This pull requests makes nix advertises content compression support for zstd, br, gzip and deflate. It's particular useful to add transparent compression for binary caches that serve packages from the host nix store in particular nix-serve, nix-serve-ng and harmonia. I tried so far gzip, brotli and zstd, whereas only zstd was able to bring me performance improvements for 1Gbit/s WAN connections. The following nginx configuration was used in combination with the [zstd module](https://github.com/tokers/zstd-nginx-module) and [harmonia](https://github.com/nix-community/harmonia/) ```nix { services.nginx.virtualHosts."cache.yourhost.com" = { locations."/".extraConfig = '' proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:5000; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_redirect http:// https://; proxy_http_version 1.1; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade; proxy_set_header Connection $connection_upgrade; zstd on; zstd_types application/x-nix-archive; ''; }; } ``` For testing I unpacked a linux kernel tarball to the nix store using this command `nix-prefetch-url --unpack https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v6.x/linux-6.1.8.tar.gz`. Before: ```console $ nix build && rm -rf /tmp/hello && time ./result/bin/nix copy --no-check-sigs --from https://cache.thalheim.io --to 'file:///tmp/hello?compression=none' '/nix/store/j42mahch5f0jvfmayhzwbb88sw36fvah-linux-6.1.8.tar.gz' warning: Git tree '/scratch/joerg/nix' is dirty real 0m18,375s user 0m2,889s sys 0m1,558s ``` After: ```console $ nix build && rm -rf /tmp/hello && time ./result/bin/nix copy --no-check-sigs --from https://cache.thalheim.io --to 'file:///tmp/hello?compression=none' '/nix/store/j42mahch5f0jvfmayhzwb b88sw36fvah-linux-6.1.8.tar.gz' real 0m11,884s user 0m4,130s sys 0m1,439s ``` Signed-off-by: Jörg Thalheim <joerg@thalheim.io> Update src/libstore/filetransfer.cc Co-authored-by: Théophane Hufschmitt <7226587+thufschmitt@users.noreply.github.com>

2022-09-19Remove a useless debug message in filetransfer.ccThéophane Hufschmitt
Remove the `verify TLS: Nix CA file = 'blah'` message that Nix used to print when fetching anything as it's both useless (`libcurl` prints the same info in its logs) and misleading (gives the impression that a new TLS connection is being established which might not be the case because of multiplexing. See #7011 )

2021-12-16Ignore EPERM when unsharing FS stateEelco Dolstra
On Docker (but not podman), unshare(CLONE_FS) fails with EPERM. So let's ignore it and hope nothing bad happens. Attempted fix for #5777.
2021-10-15Restore parent mount namespace in restoreProcessContextYorick van Pelt
This ensures any started processes can't write to /nix/store (except during builds). This partially reverts 01d07b1e, which happened because of #2646. The problem was only happening after nix downloads anything, causing me to suspect the download thread. The problem turns out to be: "A process can't join a new mount namespace if it is sharing filesystem-related attributes with another process", in this case this process is the curl thread. Ideally, we might kill it before spawning the shell process, but it's inside a static variable in the getFileTransfer() function. So instead, stop it from sharing FS state using unshare(). A strategy such as the one from #5057 (single-threaded chroot helper binary) is also very much on the table. Fixes #4337.

2021-10-07nix repl: properly deal with interruptionsMaximilian Bosch
When I stop a download with Ctrl-C in a `nix repl` of a flake, the REPL refuses to do any other downloads: nix-repl> builtins.getFlake "nix-serve" [0.0 MiB DL] downloading 'https://api.github.com/repos/edolstra/nix-serve/tarball/e9828a9e01a14297d15ca41 error: download of 'https://api.github.com/repos/edolstra/nix-serve/tarball/e9828a9e01a14297d15ca416e5a9415d4972b0f0' was interrupted [0.0 MiB DL] nix-repl> builtins.getFlake "nix-serve" error: interrupted by the user [0.0 MiB DL] To fix this issue, two changes were necessary: * Reset the global `_isInterrupted` variable: only because a single operation was aborted, it should still be possible to continue the session. * Recreate a `fileTransfer`-instance if the current one was shut down by an abort.

2021-01-21Improve error formattingEelco Dolstra
Changes: * The divider lines are gone. These were in practice a bit confusing, in particular with --show-trace or --keep-going, since then there were multiple lines, suggesting a start/end which wasn't the case. * Instead, multi-line error messages are now indented to align with the prefix (e.g. "error: "). * The 'description' field is gone since we weren't really using it. * 'hint' is renamed to 'msg' since it really wasn't a hint. * The error is now printed *before* the location info. * The 'name' field is no longer printed since most of the time it wasn't very useful since it was just the name of the exception (like EvalError). Ideally in the future this would be a unique, easily googleable error ID (like rustc). * "trace:" is now just "…". This assumes error contexts start with something like "while doing X". Example before: error: --- AssertionError ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- nix at: (7:7) in file: /home/eelco/Dev/nixpkgs/pkgs/applications/misc/hello/default.nix 6| 7| x = assert false; 1; | ^ 8| assertion 'false' failed ----------------------------------------------------- show-trace ----------------------------------------------------- trace: while evaluating the attribute 'x' of the derivation 'hello-2.10' at: (192:11) in file: /home/eelco/Dev/nixpkgs/pkgs/stdenv/generic/make-derivation.nix 191| // (lib.optionalAttrs (!(attrs ? name) && attrs ? pname && attrs ? version)) { 192| name = "${attrs.pname}-${attrs.version}"; | ^ 193| } // (lib.optionalAttrs (stdenv.hostPlatform != stdenv.buildPlatform && !dontAddHostSuffix && (attrs ? name || (attrs ? pname && attrs ? version)))) { Example after: error: assertion 'false' failed at: (7:7) in file: /home/eelco/Dev/nixpkgs/pkgs/applications/misc/hello/default.nix 6| 7| x = assert false; 1; | ^ 8| … while evaluating the attribute 'x' of the derivation 'hello-2.10' at: (192:11) in file: /home/eelco/Dev/nixpkgs/pkgs/stdenv/generic/make-derivation.nix 191| // (lib.optionalAttrs (!(attrs ? name) && attrs ? pname && attrs ? version)) { 192| name = "${attrs.pname}-${attrs.version}"; | ^ 193| } // (lib.optionalAttrs (stdenv.hostPlatform != stdenv.buildPlatform && !dontAddHostSuffix && (attrs ? name || (attrs ? pname && attrs ? version)))) {

2020-09-16Fetch commits from github/gitlab using Auth headerGreg Hale
`nix flake info` calls the github 'commits' API, which requires authorization when the repository is private. Currently this request fails with a 404. This commit adds an authorization header when calling the 'commits' API. It also changes the way that the 'tarball' API authenticates, moving the user's token from a query parameter into the Authorization header. The query parameter method is recently deprecated and will be disallowed in November 2020. Using them today triggers a warning email.

2020-06-18Prevent '%' in URL from causing crashesJohn Ericson
We have a larger problem that passsing computed strings to the first variable argument of many exception constructors is unsafe because that first variable argument is interpreted not as a plain string, but format string, and if it contains '%' boost::format will abort, since there are no arguments to the format string. In this particular instance '%' was used as part of an escape code in a URL, which, when the download failed, caused Nix to abort displaying the `FileTransferError`.
