Rovanion Luckey a413594baf installer: Handle edge case where the nix-daemon is already running on the system
On a systemd-based Linux distribution: If the user has previously had multi-user Nix installed on the system, removed it and then reinstalled multi-user Nix again the old nix-daemon.service will still be running when `scripts/install-systemd-multi-user.sh` tries to start it which results in nothing being done and the old daemon continuing its run.

When a normal user then tries to use Nix through the daemon the nix binary will fail to connect to the nix-daemon as it does not belong to the currently installed Nix system. See below for steps to reproduce the issue that motivated this change.

$ sh <(curl https://nixos.org/nix/install) --daemon

$ sudo rm -rf /etc/nix /nix /root/.nix-profile /root/.nix-defexpr /root/.nix-channels /home/nix-installer/.nix-profile /home/nix-installer/.nix-defexpr /home/nix-installer/.nix-channels ~/.nix-channels ~/.nix-defexpr/ ~/.nix-profile /etc/profile.d/nix.sh.backup-before-nix /etc/profile.d/nix.sh; sed -i '/added by Nix installer$/d' ~/.bash_profile

$ unset NIX_REMOTE

$ sh <(curl https://nixos.org/nix/install) --daemon

Matthew Bauer d4e51aac08 Make preexisting Nix install a warning, not a failure
In the multi-user install script, we originally made sure no previous
references to Nix existed. This prevented any previous installs from
contaminating the new install. However, some users need the ability to
repair their existing Nix installation without uninstalling all
references to Nix. This change allows users with existing Nix
installations to use the installer, while still outputing a warning
message on the dangers of this. As a result, the multi-user install
script work much more like the single-user install script has worked
in the past.

This is a requirement for macOS Catalina users now that
/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.nixos.nix-daemon.plisg is not managed by
the Nix store. If there is ever a change to the .plist, all users will
need to rerun this install script to get the new changes. Otherwise,
changes to the launch daemon will require manual interventions.
2019-10-08 21:53:06 -04:00
Matthew Bauer 0847f2f1b3 Copy instead of linking launch agent
On Catalina, the /nix filesystem might not be mounted at start time.
To avoid this service not starting, we need to keep the launch agent
outside of the Nix store. A wait4pid will hold for our /nix dir to be
mounted.

Fixes #3125.

Matthew Bauer 0463d5e36f Allow empty /nix directory in multi-user installer
With macOS catalina, we can no longer modify the root system
volume (#2925). macOS provides a system configuration file in
synthetic.conf(5) to create empty root directories. This can be used
to mount /nix to a separate volume. As a result, this directory will
need to already exist prior to installation. Instead, check for
/nix/store and /nix/var for a live Nix installation.

Matthew Bauer 7c20ee448f Sync NIX_PROFILES between single-user and multi-user modes
When we are in single user mode, we still want to have access to
profiles. This way things in Nixpkgs that rely on them getting set
accurately are done in both cases. The point where I hit this is with
using aspell which looks in NIX_PROFILES:

https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/development/libraries/aspell/default.nix

Before this patch, NIX_PROFILES was never set in single user mode!
This corrects that.

Bjørn Forsman 07d9981f34 install-multi-user: remove unneeded settings from nix.conf
Hardcoding the "max-jobs" and "cores" settings in nix.conf at install
time, to the same value as Nix' built-in default, makes little sense to
me.

Bjørn Forsman dbe4c043d7 install-multi-user: reduce max-jobs from 32 to 1
Having max-jobs = 32 ($NIX_USER_COUNT is hardcoded to that value) may
severely overload the machine. The nix.conf(5) manual page says max-jobs
defaults to 1, so let's use that value.

NOTE: Both max-jobs and cores are now being set to their default value,
so they can be removed alltogether.

scripts: remove default 'sandbox = false' from multi-user installer
Sandboxing is now enabled by default on Linux, but is still disabled on
macOS. However, the installer always turned it off to ensure consistent
behavior.

Remove this default configuration, so we fall back to the default
platform-specific value.

Bjørn Forsman b9567aa8b6 install script: don't abort when "nix-channel --update" fails
Instead, print a message about what happened and tell the user what can
be done (run "[sudo -i] nix-channel --update nixpkgs" again at a later
time). This change allows installing Nix when you're offline.

Since the multi-user installer is so verbose, the message isn't printed
until the end.

Fixes issue #2650 ("installation without internet connection").

nix-daemon.sh profile script: operate under set -u
If the profile is sourced inside a script with `set -u`, the check for

A simple guard around this check allows the script to operate under
standard environments (where it is fairly reasonable to assume USER
and HOME are set.)

Manav Rathi eec5409a69 installation: allow profile modification to be skipped (#1072)
The current behaviour modifies the first writeable file from amongst
.bash_profile, .bash_login and .profile.  So .bash_profile (if it is
writable) would be modified even if a user has already sourced nix.sh
in, say, .profile.

This commit introduces a new environment variable,
NIX_INSTALLER_NO_MODIFY_PROFILE.  If this is set during installation,
then the modifications are unconditionally skipped.

This is useful for users who have a manually curated set of dotfiles
that they are porting to a new machine. In such scenarios, nix.sh is
already sourced at a place where the user prefers.  Without this
change, the nix installer would insist on modifying .bash_profile if
it exists.

This commit also add documentations for both the current behaviour and
the new override.

Alexey Shmalko eef754813f Set $MANPATH (#1005)
Currently, man has issues finding man pages for Nix-installed
application (also, `nix-env --help` doesn't work). The issue is caused
by custom `$MANPATH` set by my system. That makes man use it instead of
searching in default location.

Either of next lines workaround the issue:
```sh
unset MANPATH

export MANPATH=$HOME/.nix-profile/share/man:$MANPATH
```

This patch adds the later line to the `nix-profile.sh` if user has
`MANPATH` set. (Not clearing `MANPATH` as that would be disrespect of
user's preferences.)

As a side-effect, host's man might find man pages installed by Nix.

Eelco Dolstra 4494000e04 LocalStore: Allow the physical and logical store directories to differ
This is primarily to subsume the functionality of the
copy-from-other-stores substituter. For example, in the NixOS
installer, we can now do (assuming we're in the target chroot, and the
Nix store of the installation CD is bind-mounted on /tmp/nix):

  $ nix-build ... --option substituters 'local?state=/tmp/nix/var&real=/tmp/nix/store'

However, unlike copy-from-other-stores, this also allows write access
to such a store. One application might be fetching substitutes for
/nix/store in a situation where the user doesn't have sufficient
privileges to create /nix, e.g.:

  $ NIX_REMOTE="local?state=/home/alice/nix/var&real=/home/alice/nix/store" nix-build ...

Gabriel Gonzalez 3889415bf8 Fix ?? in Nix warning message
Nix sometimes outputs a warning message like this:

```
directory /nix does not exist; creating it by running ‘?? using sudo
```

... when it really meant to output something that looked like this:

```
directory /nix does not exist; creating it by running 'mkdir -m 0755 /nix && chown gabriel /nix' using sudo
```

The reason why is due to some bizarre behavior in Bash where it will translate anything of the form `$x’` to `??`, leading to the incorrect warning message.  I don't know what is the origin of this Bash behavior, but the easiest fix is to just use ASCII quotes instead of unicode quotes.

Just wasted a couple hours chasing shadows because the nix store got

Since an install is one-time only, might as well verify.  Optimization
showed that the copied files aren't read-only; fixed that as well.

Also, use /bin/sh since there's a good chance that this script will be
run on systems without /bin/bash

Philip Potter 4f3cf06c97 Verify TLS certificate before downloading binaries
The --insecure flag to curl tells curl not to bother checking if the TLS
certificate presented by the server actually matches the hostname
requested, and actually is issued by a trusted CA chain.  This almost
entirely negates any benefit from using TLS in the first place.

This removes the --insecure flag to ensure we actually have a secure
connection to the intended hostname before downloading binaries.

Manually tested locally within a dev-shell; was able to download
binaries from https://cache.nixos.org without issue.

[Note: --insecure was only used for fetching NARs, whose integrity is
verified by Nix anyway using the hash from the .narinfo. But if we can
fetch the .narinfo without --insecure, we can also fetch the .nar, so
there is not much point to using --insecure. --Eelco]
