The user's local node configuration directory usually contains a copy of
examples/shell.nix.
1. Move the shell implementation from shell.nix to nix-bitcoin/helper/makeShell.nix
Because the shell is no longer defined locally in the user's config
directory, we can now ship new shell features via nix-bitcoin updates.
2. Simplify examples/nix-bitcoin-release.nix
nix-bitcoin-release.nix, as generated via `fetch-release`, now
contains a simple fetchTarball statement which can be directly imported.
This allows us to get rid of the extra `nix-bitcoin-unpacked` derivation
which adds a dependency on the user's local nixpkgs.
To keep `fetch-release` as simple as possible for easy auditing, we just
fetch and verify a `nar-hash.txt` file that is now uploaded
via `push-release.sh`.
A migration guide for updating the user's local `shell.nix` is
automatically printed when the user starts a new shell after updating
nix-bitcoin.
This is achieved by throwing an error in `generate-secrets`, which is called
on shell startup.
This commit is required to deploy the new extensible `generate-secrets`
mechanism introduced in the next commit.
This change is fully backwards compatible.
We continue to use the standard non-flake evaluation mode in our
examples and internal tooling until the flakes design has stabilized.
'clightning-plugins = pkgs.recurseIntoAttrs' in pkgs/default.nix is
needed by flake-utils.lib.flattenTree in flake.nix.
It transforms the packages in `clightning-plugins` to top-level packages
named like `clightning-plugins/summary`. (The flake attr `packages`
must be a non-nested attrset of derivations.)
Starting with 0.21.0, bitcoin no longer automatically creates and loads
a default wallet.
This was being ignored because of a JoinMarket issue [1] in CI builds prior
to this version. Now a watch-only Bitcoin Core wallet is created in ExecStartPost.

- Use idiomatic var name `pkgs` for the imported nixpkgs.
- Don't add `figlet` to PATH because it's only used internally.
- Only print figlet in interactive shells to avoid interfering with
stdout when running `nix-shell --run <cmd>`.
- Define `fetch-release` as a function to enable running it via
`nix-shell --run fetch-release`
- The scripts now work within arbitrary nix-shells.
Previously, they failed when run from nix shells other than
`examples/shell.nix`.
- The scripts now work from arbitrary working dirs.
- Update nixos iso
- Make sure to be root before parting and give instructions for checking
UEFI vs. legacy
- Instead of making user replace automatically generated nixos config,
explain how to add options.
- Add boot.loader options directly to hardware-configuration.nix
- Copy .gitignore when setting up a deployment dir
- Stress that the first config that is deployed remotely must include ssh key.
- Debian: 9 Strech -> Debian 10 Buster
- nix: 2.3.3 -> 2.3.10
Keeping the secrets dir read-only is more simple and robust.
- lnd seed mnemonic creation and joinmarket wallet creation can be
run as the regular service user instead of root.
- It is easier to switch to a third-party secrets deployment
method in the future.
Don't create a seed mnemonic for lnd when a wallet exists.
This avoids creating unused mnemonics and helps simplifying
the migration command in `versioning.nix`.
Move this feature from a module preset to a regular option, so that it's
easily discoverable and accessible.
Simplify the implementation of `generateSecrets` by adding it to the
existing `setup-secrets` service script.
Also rename option setup-secrets -> setupSecrets.
The 'scudo' memory allocator set by the 'hardened' profile breaks some
services on 20.09.
The fix for NixOS unstable (https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/104052)
is ineffective on 20.09.
As a workaround, add a custom 'hardened' preset that uses the default allocator.
generate-secrets failed due to the `PYTHONPATH` env var that was set
through the nixops19_09 buildInput.
Fixes:
- Don't pull in the build environments of binaries that should be
available in PATH. Only extend PATH instead.
- Run generate-secrets in an empty environment
- Adds bitcoind-host, and tor-socks options to allow using with
network namespaces.
- Adds listen, rpclisten, and restlisten option to specify host on which
to listen on for peer, rpc and rest connections respectively
- Adds announce-tor option and generates Tor Hidden Service with nix
instead of lnd to bring in line with clightning.
WARNING: Breaking changes for Tor Hidden Service. Manual migration
necessary.
From the clightning manpage:
autolisten=BOOL By default, we bind (and maybe announce) on IPv4 and
IPv6 interfaces if no addr, bind-addr or announce-addr options are
specified. Setting this to false disables that.
We already set bind-addr by default, so autolisten had no effect.
Therefore, this commit replaces autolisten with the more granular
announce-addr option.
For now we are Tor-only, so we only need to announce our hidden service
to accept incoming connections. In the future, we can add clearnet
connectivity with `addr` and route connections into our netns with NAT.
- Adds network namespace instantiation and routing architecture.
- netns-isolation disabled by default. Can be enabled with
configuration.nix FIXME.
- Uses mkMerge to toggle certain options for non netns and netns
systems.
- Adds security wrapper for netns-exec which allows operator to exec
with cap_sys_admin
- User can select the 169.254.N.0/24 addressblock netns's are created in.
- nix-bitcoin-services IpAddressAllow is amended with link-local
addresses
Remove the possible null value for bitcoind.prune and set prune = 0 in
bitcoind as a default. Remove prune = 0 in secure-node.nix and the
mkForce in configuration.nix (bitcoind.prune = lib.mkForce ).
Previously, the sessions contained only explicitly exported variables
and functions.
This was fragile and in part buggy due to lacking exports.
Interactive features like user-defined aliases and functions are still
working as before.
This avoids an extra delay and the unexpected creation of secrets when
run in another dir.
Needed for the 'fetch-release' script introduced in a later commit.
Instead of forking this repo, it is now recommended that users simply import the
nix-bitcoin module. This commit adds an example directory that contains the
network/ examples and a shell.nix for deployment with nixops.
