It is now possible to use the following syntax to insert anchors into the text:
[]{#anchor-name}
The anchor will allow linking to the location it is placed by appending #anchor-name to the URL.
Additionally, it is possible to create a link pointing to its own location by adding text between the square brackets:
[`--add-root`]{#opt-add-root}
This solves the error
error: cannot connect to socket at '/nix/var/nix/daemon-socket/socket': Connection refused
on build farm systems that are loaded but operating normally.
I've seen this happen on an M1 mac running a loaded hercules-ci-agent.
Hercules CI uses multiple worker processes, which may connect to
the Nix daemon around the same time. It's not unthinkable that
the Nix daemon listening process isn't scheduled until after 6
workers try to connect, especially on a system under load with
many workers.
Is the increase safe?
The number is the number of connections that the kernel will buffer
while the listening process hasn't `accept`-ed them yet.
It did not - and will not - restrict the total number of daemon
forks that a client can create.
History
The number 5 has remained unchanged since the introduction in
nix-worker with 0130ef88ea in 2006.
See also: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/73998. Busybox's
FEATURE_SH_STANDALONE feature causes other busybox applets to
leak into the sandbox, where system() calls will start preferring
them over tools in $PATH. On arch, this even includes `ar`.
Let's check for this evil feature and disallow using this as a
sandbox shell.
Add a new `file` fetcher type, which will fetch a plain file over
http(s), or from the local file.
Because plain `http(s)://` or `file://` urls can already correspond to
`tarball` inputs (if the path ends-up with a know archive extension),
the URL parsing logic is a bit convuluted in that:
- {http,https,file}:// urls will be interpreted as either a tarball or a
file input, depending on the extensions of the path part (so
`https://foo.com/bar` will be a `file` input and
`https://foo.com/bar.tar.gz` as a `tarball` input)
- `file+{something}://` urls will be interpreted as `file` urls (with
the `file+` part removed)
- `tarball+{something}://` urls will be interpreted as `tarball` urls (with
the `tarball+` part removed)
