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]

Eelco Dolstra c0d4173263 Set default binary-caches-parallel-connections to 25
Some benchmarking suggested this as a good value. Running

  $ benchmark -f ... -t 25 -- sh -c 'rm -f /nix/var/nix/binary-cache*; nix-store -r /nix/store/x5z8a2yvz8h6ccmhwrwrp9igg03575jg-nixos-15.09.git.5fd87e1M.drv --dry-run --option binary-caches-parallel-connections <N>'

gave the following mean elapsed times for these values of N:

N=10:  3.3541
N=20:  2.9320
N=25:  2.6690
N=30:  2.9417
N=50:  3.2021
N=100: 3.5718
N=150: 4.2079

Memory usage is also reduced (N=150 used 186 MB, N=25 only 68 MB).

Closes #708.

Utku Demir a49514a2e2 Also set CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST=0 when "verify-https-binary-caches" is false
This makes that option even more insecure, by also not checking the SSL host.

But without this parameter, one can still get SSL errors even when
"verify-https-binary-caches" is false, which is unexpected IMO.

Eelco Dolstra e012c126db Revert "add the manpath to the installer"
This reverts commit 76f985b92d. We
shouldn't mess with $MANPATH, because on some "man" implementations
(like NixOS'), the default value on $MANPATH is derived from $PATH. So
if you set $MANPATH, you lose the default locations.

Eelco Dolstra f19b4abfb2 Include NAR size in fingerprint computation
This is not strictly needed for integrity (since we already include
the NAR hash in the fingerprint) but it helps against endless data
attacks [1]. (However, this will also require
download-from-binary-cache.pl to bail out if it receives more than the
specified number of bytes.)

Jeff Ramnani d53735c823 Nix install script failed when "cd" printed to stdout.
In some cases the bash builtin command "cd" can print the variable $CWD
to stdout.  This caused the install script to fail while copying files
because the source path was wrong.

Fixes #476.

2015-02-08 20:44:05 -05:00
Eelco Dolstra f3a5930488 Sign a subset of the .narinfo
We only need to sign the store path, NAR hash and references (the
"fingerprint"). Everything else is irrelevant to security. For
instance, the compression algorithm or the hash of the compressed NAR
don't matter as long as the contents of the uncompressed NAR are
correct.

(Maybe we should include derivers in the fingerprint, but they're
broken and nobody cares about them. Also, it might be nice in the
future if .narinfos contained signatures from multiple independent
signers. But that's impossible if the deriver is included in the
fingerprint, since everybody will tend to have a different deriver for
the same store path.)

Also renamed the "Signature" field to "Sig" since the format changed
in an incompatible way.

Eelco Dolstra e0def5bc4b Use libsodium instead of OpenSSL for binary cache signing
Sodium's Ed25519 signatures are much shorter than OpenSSL's RSA
signatures. Public keys are also much shorter, so they're now
specified directly in the nix.conf option ‘binary-cache-public-keys’.

The new command ‘nix-store --generate-binary-cache-key’ generates and
prints a public and secret key.

Eelco Dolstra 128538ef06 nix-shell: Add --run flag
‘--run’ is like ‘--command’, except that it runs the command in a
non-interactive shell. This is important if you do things like:

  $ nix-shell --command make

Hitting Ctrl-C while make is running drops you into the interactive
Nix shell, which is probably not what you want. So you can now do

  $ nix-shell --run make

instead.

Eelco Dolstra b76589206a nix-shell: Interpret filenames relative to the #!-script
So you can have a script like:

  #! /usr/bin/env nix-shell
  #! nix-shell script.nix -i python

  import prettytable

  x = prettytable.PrettyTable(["Foo", "Bar"])
  for i in range(1, 10): x.add_row([i, i**2])
  print x

with a ‘script.nix’ in the same directory:

  with import <nixpkgs> {};

  runCommand "dummy" { buildInputs = [ python pythonPackages.prettytable ]; } ""

(Of course, in this particular case, using the ‘-p’ flag is more
convenient.)

Eelco Dolstra a957893b26 Allow nix-shell to be used as a #! interpreter
This allows scripts to fetch their own dependencies via nix-shell. For
instance, here is a Haskell script that, when executed, pulls in GHC
and the HTTP package:

  #! /usr/bin/env nix-shell
  #! nix-shell -i runghc -p haskellPackages.ghc haskellPackages.HTTP

  import Network.HTTP

  main = do
    resp <- Network.HTTP.simpleHTTP (getRequest "http://nixos.org/")
    body <- getResponseBody resp
    print (take 100 body)

Or a Perl script that pulls in Perl and some CPAN packages:

  #! /usr/bin/env nix-shell
  #! nix-shell -i perl -p perl perlPackages.HTMLTokeParserSimple perlPackages.LWP

  use HTML::TokeParser::Simple;

  my $p = HTML::TokeParser::Simple->new(url => 'http://nixos.org/');

  while (my $token = $p->get_tag("a")) {
      my $href = $token->get_attr("href");
      print "$href\n" if $href;
  }

Note that the options to nix-shell must be given on a separate line
that starts with the magic string ‘#! nix-shell’. This is because
‘env’ does not allow passing arguments to an interpreter directly.

Eelco Dolstra a5c6347ff0 build-remote.pl: Use ‘nix-store --serve’ on the remote side
This makes things more efficient (we don't need to use an SSH master
connection, and we only start a single remote process) and gets rid of
locking issues (the remote nix-store process will keep inputs and
outputs locked as long as they're needed).

It also makes it more or less secure to connect directly to the root
account on the build machine, using a forced command
(e.g. ‘command="nix-store --serve --write"’). This bypasses the Nix
daemon and is therefore more efficient.

Also, don't call nix-store to import the output paths.

Eelco Dolstra 1aa19b24b2 Add a flag ‘--check’ to verify build determinism
The flag ‘--check’ to ‘nix-store -r’ or ‘nix-build’ will cause Nix to
redo the build of a derivation whose output paths are already valid.
If the new output differs from the original output, an error is
printed.  This makes it easier to test if a build is deterministic.
(Obviously this cannot catch all sources of non-determinism, but it
catches the most common one, namely the current time.)

For example:

  $ nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A patchelf
  ...
  $ nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A patchelf --check
  error: derivation `/nix/store/1ipvxsdnbhl1rw6siz6x92s7sc8nwkkb-patchelf-0.6' may not be deterministic: hash mismatch in output `/nix/store/4pc1dmw5xkwmc6q3gdc9i5nbjl4dkjpp-patchelf-0.6.drv'

The --check build fails if not all outputs are valid.  Thus the first
call to nix-build is necessary to ensure that all outputs are valid.

The current outputs are left untouched: the new outputs are either put
in a chroot or diverted to a different location in the store using
hash rewriting.

Eelco Dolstra 0fdf4da0e9 Support cryptographically signed binary caches
NAR info files in binary caches can now have a cryptographic signature
that Nix will verify before using the corresponding NAR file.

To create a private/public key pair for signing and verifying a binary
cache, do:

  $ openssl genrsa -out ./cache-key.sec 2048
  $ openssl rsa -in ./cache-key.sec -pubout > ./cache-key.pub

You should also come up with a symbolic name for the key, such as
"cache.example.org-1".  This will be used by clients to look up the
public key.  (It's a good idea to number keys, in case you ever need
to revoke/replace one.)

To create a binary cache signed with the private key:

  $ nix-push --dest /path/to/binary-cache --key ./cache-key.sec --key-name cache.example.org-1

The public key (cache-key.pub) should be distributed to the clients.
They should have a nix.conf should contain something like:

  signed-binary-caches = *
  binary-cache-public-key-cache.example.org-1 = /path/to/cache-key.pub

If all works well, then if Nix fetches something from the signed
binary cache, you will see a message like:

  *** Downloading ‘http://cache.example.org/nar/7dppcj5sc1nda7l54rjc0g5l1hamj09j-subversion-1.7.11’ (signed by ‘cache.example.org-1’) to ‘/nix/store/7dppcj5sc1nda7l54rjc0g5l1hamj09j-subversion-1.7.11’...

On the other hand, if the signature is wrong, you get a message like

  NAR info file `http://cache.example.org/7dppcj5sc1nda7l54rjc0g5l1hamj09j.narinfo' has an invalid signature; ignoring

Signatures are implemented as a single line appended to the NAR info
file, which looks like this:

  Signature: 1;cache.example.org-1;HQ9Xzyanq9iV...muQ==

Thus the signature has 3 fields: a version (currently "1"), the ID of
key, and the base64-encoded signature of the SHA-256 hash of the
contents of the NAR info file up to but not including the Signature
line.

Issue #75.

Eelco Dolstra 2d9bb56e55 Fix segfault on Darwin
Ever since SQLite in Nixpkgs was updated to 3.8.0.2, Nix has randomly
segfaulted on Darwin:

  http://hydra.nixos.org/build/6175515
  http://hydra.nixos.org/build/6611038

It turns out that this is because the binary cache substituter somehow
ends up loading two versions of SQLite: the one in Nixpkgs and the
other from /usr/lib/libsqlite3.dylib.  It's not exactly clear why the
latter is loaded, but it appears to be because WWW::Curl indirectly loads
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreFoundation.framework/Versions/A/CoreFoundation,
which in turn seems to load /usr/lib/libsqlite3.dylib.  This leads to
a segfault when Perl exits:

  #0  0x00000001010375f4 in sqlite3_finalize ()
  #1  0x000000010125806e in sqlite_st_destroy ()
  #2  0x000000010124bc30 in XS_DBD__SQLite__st_DESTROY ()
  #3  0x00000001001c8155 in XS_DBI_dispatch ()
  ...
  #14 0x0000000100023224 in perl_destruct ()
  #15 0x0000000100000d6a in main ()
  ...

The workaround is to explicitly load DBD::SQLite before WWW::Curl.

The timeout should be enforced remotely.  Otherwise, if the garbage
collector is running either locally or remotely, if will block the
build or closure copying for some time.  If the garbage collector
takes too long, the build may time out, which is not what we want.
Also, on heavily loaded systems, copying large paths to and from the
remote machine can take a long time, also potentially resulting in a
timeout.

Eelco Dolstra 620e92e880 Add an option ‘use-binary-caches’
This allows disabling the use of binary caches, e.g.

  $ nix-build ... --option use-binary-caches false

Note that

  $ nix-build ... --option binary-caches ''

does not disable all binary caches, since the caches defined by
channels will still be used.

Eelco Dolstra c8daeba303 nix-push: Add ‘--link’ flag
If ‘--link’ is given, nix-push will create hard links to the NAR files
in the store, rather than copying them.  This is faster and requires
less disk space.  However, it doesn't work if the store is on a
different file system.

Eelco Dolstra 2e90a5a2a7 nix-build: Support ‘--repair’ flag 2012-10-03 15:14:02 -04:00
Eelco Dolstra 9958bd6992 Add operation ‘nix-store --repair-path’
This operation allows fixing corrupted or accidentally deleted store
paths by redownloading them using substituters, if available.

Since the corrupted path cannot be replaced atomically, there is a
very small time window (one system call) during which neither the old
(corrupted) nor the new (repaired) contents are available.  So
repairing should be used with some care on critical packages like
Glibc.

Eelco Dolstra aac14222f5 nix-profile.sh: Revert to single-user version
Commit 6a214f3e06 copied most of the Nix
shell initialisation code from NixOS to nix-profile.sh; however, that
code assumes a multi-user install and is Linux-specific (e.g. it calls
the "stat" command).  So go back to the simple single-user version.

Fixes #49.

Eelco Dolstra 47ae3ce2ca Put a time-to-live on negative binary cache lookups
Negative lookups are purged from the DB after a day, at most once per
day.  However, for non-"have" lookups (e.g. all except "nix-env
-qas"), negative lookups are ignored after one hour.  This is to
ensure that you don't have to wait a day for an operation like
"nix-env -i" to start using new binaries in the cache.

Should probably make this configurable.

Output names are now appended to resulting GC symlinks, e.g. by
nix-build.  For backwards compatibility, if the output is named "out",
nothing is appended.  E.g. doing "nix-build -A foo" on a derivation
that produces outputs "out", "bin" and "dev" will produce symlinks
"./result", "./result-bin" and "./result-dev", respectively.

Eelco Dolstra 5170c5691a nix-channel: Use binary caches advertised by channels
Channels can now advertise a binary cache by creating a file
<channel-url>/binary-cache-url.  The channel unpacker puts these in
its "binary-caches" subdirectory.  Thus, the URLS of the binary caches
for the channels added by root appear in
/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/eelco/channels/binary-caches/*.  The
binary cache substituter reads these and adds them to the list of
binary caches.

Eelco Dolstra 66a3ac6a56 Allow a binary cache to declare that it doesn't support "nix-env -qas"
Querying all substitutable paths via "nix-env -qas" is potentially
hard on a server, since it involves sending thousands of HEAD
requests.  So a binary cache must now have a meta-info file named
"nix-cache-info" that specifies whether the server wants this.  It
also specifies the store prefix so that we don't send useless queries
to a binary cache for a different store prefix.

Eelco Dolstra 73acb8b836 Let build.cc verify the expected hash of a substituter's output
Since SubstitutionGoal::finished() in build.cc computes the hash
anyway, we can prevent the inefficiency of computing the hash twice by
letting the substituter tell Nix about the expected hash, which can
then verify it.

Eelco Dolstra b74d92755d download-from-binary-cache: Use HEAD requests if possible
In "nix-env -qas", we don't need the substitute info, we just need to
know if it exists.  This can be done using a HTTP HEAD request, which
saves bandwidth.

Note however that curl currently has a bug that prevents it from
reusing HTTP connections if HEAD requests return a 404:

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3542731&group_id=976&atid=100976

Without the patch attached to the issue, using HEAD is actually quite
a bit slower than GET.
