2023-08-28Port the flags of nix-daemon to nix daemon (#8788)Bryan Honof
The new `nix daemon` command didn't accept the same flags that `nix-daemon` did. * docs(daemon): clarify the daemon trust override flags * fix: change declaration order * docs: add examples of nix daemon usage * Apply suggestions from code review --------- Co-authored-by: Eelco Dolstra <edolstra@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: John Ericson <git@JohnEricson.me> Co-authored-by: tomberek <tomberek@users.noreply.github.com>

2023-06-19Create `worker_proto::{Read,Write}Conn`John Ericson
Pass this around instead of `Source &` and `Sink &` directly. This will give us something to put the protocol version on once the time comes. To do this ergonomically, we need to expose `RemoteStore::Connection`, so do that too. Give it some more API docs while we are at it.

2023-04-17Experimentally allow forcing `nix-daemon` trust; use this to testJohn Ericson
We finally test the status quo of remote build trust in a number of ways. We create a new experimental feature on `nix-daemon` to do so. PR #3921, which improves the situation with trustless remote building, will build upon these changes. This code / tests was pull out of there to make this, so everything is easier to review, and in particular we test before and after so the new behavior in that PR is readily apparent from the testsuite diff alone.

This is a bit more accurate. It's a private name, but before you know it, someone might make it public!

Move `trustedUsers` and `allowedUsers` to separate config struct
2023-02-02Move `trustedUsers` and `allowedUsers` to separate config structJohn Ericson
These settings are not needed for libstore at all, they are just used by the nix daemon *command* for authorization on unix domain sockets. My moving them to a new configuration struct just in that file, we avoid them leaking anywhere else. Also, it is good to break up the mammoth `Settings` struct in general. Issue #5638 tracks this. The message is not changed because I do not want to regress in convenience to the user. Just saying "this connection is not trusted" doesn't tell them out to fix the issue. The ideal thing to do would be to somehow parameterize `processCommand` on how the error should be displayed, so different sorts of connections can display different information to the user based on how authentication is performed for the connection in question. This, however, is a good bit more work, so it is left for the future. This came up with me thinking about the tcp:// store (#5265). The larger project is not TCP *per se*, but the idea that it should be possible for something else to manage access control to services like the Nix Daemon, and those services simply trust or trust the incoming connection as they are told. This is a more capability-oriented way of thinking about trust than "every server implements its own auth separately" as we are used to today. Its very great that libstore itself already implements just this model, and so via this refactor I basically want to "enshrine" that so it continues to be the case.
2023-02-02Get rid of the `authHook` parameter on `processConnection`John Ericson
This is (morally) dead code. As @edolstra pointed out in https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/5226#discussion_r1073470813, this is no longer needed. I created this in 8d4162ff9e940ea9e2f97b07f3030a722695901a, so it is fitting that I now destroy it :).
2023-01-17Move the default profiles to the user’s homeThéophane Hufschmitt
Rather than using `/nix/var/nix/{profiles,gcroots}/per-user/`, put the user profiles and gcroots under `$XDG_DATA_DIR/nix/{profiles,gcroots}`. This means that the daemon no longer needs to manage these paths itself (they are fully handled client-side). In particular, it doesn’t have to `chown` them anymore (removing one need for root). This does change the layout of the gc-roots created by nix-env, and is likely to break some stuff, so I’m not sure how to properly handle that.

2021-02-24Initialize plugins after handling initial command line flagsShea Levy
This is technically a breaking change, since attempting to set plugin files after the first non-flag argument will now throw an error. This is acceptable given the relative lack of stability in a plugin interface and the need to tie the knot somewhere once plugins can actually define new subcommands.

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)))) {
