2024-10-14ssh-ng: better way to keep SSH errors visibleMaximilian Bosch
A better fix than in 104448e75d87d03d2fb0b4ac96d4da72e1dae50d, hence a revert + the fix. It turns out that this commit has the side-effect that when having e.g. `StrictHostKeyChecking=accept-new` for a remote builder, the warnings à la Warning: Permanently added 'builder' (ED25519) to the list of known hosts. actually end up in the derivation's log whereas hostkey verification errors don't, but only in the stderr of the `nix-build` invocation (which was the motivation for the patch). This change writes the stderr from the build-hook to * the daemon's stderr, so that the SSH errors appear in the journal (which was the case before 104448e75d87d03d2fb0b4ac96d4da72e1dae50d) * the client's stderr, as a log message * NOT to the drv log (this is handled via `handleJSONLogMessage`) I tried to fix the issue for legacy-ssh as well, but failed and ultimately decided to not bother. I know that we'll sooner or later replace the entire component, however this is the part of the patch I have working for a while, so I figured I might still submit it for the time being.

2024-04-26ssh-ng: Set log-fd for ssh to `4` by defaultMaximilian Bosch
That's expected by `build-remote` and makes sure that errors are correctly forwarded to the user. For instance, let's say that the host-key of `example.org` is unknown and nix-build ../nixpkgs -A hello -j0 --builders 'ssh-ng://example.org' is issued, then you get the following output: cannot build on 'ssh-ng://example.org?&': error: failed to start SSH connection to 'example.org' Failed to find a machine for remote build! derivation: yh46gakxq3kchrbihwxvpn5bmadcw90b-hello-2.12.1.drv required (system, features): (x86_64-linux, []) 2 available machines: [...] The relevant information (`Host key verification failed`) ends up in the daemon's log, but that's not very obvious considering that the daemon isn't very chatty normally. This can be fixed - the same way as its done for legacy-ssh - by passing fd 4 to the SSH wrapper. Now you'd get the following error: cannot build on 'ssh-ng://example.org': error: failed to start SSH connection to 'example.org': Host key verification failed. Failed to find a machine for remote build! [...] ...and now it's clear what's wrong. Please note that this is won't end up in the derivation's log.

2024-03-10make the multi-node vm tests a bit more reliableeldritch horrors
without these changes the tests will very repeatably (although not very reliably) wedge in our runs. the ssh command starts, opens a sessions, does something, the session closes again, but the test does not move on. adding *just* the redirect and not the unit waits is not sufficient either, it needs both. this feels like a bug in the nixos testing framework somewhere, but digging that far is not in the cards right now.
