alps frequently fails to start (e.g. during a system activation script)
since either its configured imap or smtp servers are not reachable
yet (i.e. their process has not yet opened the corresponding port).
This should hopefully fix that behaviour:
- also set BindsTo, telling systemd to only start alps once the
required units have entered "active" state (not just after it has
started them)
- also require postfix to be present, since that provides smtp
mostly just replacing strings to avoid confusion later on. Since our
containers are now ephemeral, renaming them is basically a non-issue
(though the files under /persist/containers & the uffd client name had
to be changed manually)
this removes usage of the nftnat module by rendering it into a static
nftables config. It's a no-op (modulo /etc/haccfiles) as far as nix is
concerned, hence the slightly off-putting whitespace of the multi-line
string.
This seems to me to be a better approach than just bundling the module,
since we only use it for two things (giving the containers network
access & forwarding port 22 to forgejo), which to me doesn't press for
using a custom module we can't really maintain on our own.
the bind mount module has been tweaked in a couple ways:
- rename hexchen.* to hacc.*
- rename bindmount to bindMount to make it consistent with usage in
the nixpkgs container module
- add a hacc.bindToPersist option as shorthand for prepending /perist
to a path via bind mount
the nopersist module has been shortened a little by moving
service-specific things which are used once out into the individual
service files, and removing those which we don't need at all (this also
means we get to loose a mkForce or two in case of mismatches between
hexchen's and our current config).
this is a slightly cursed work around; see the comment.
Alternatively, we could pass in the $src attribute of that derivation
via callPackage (passing it through all the way from flake.nix), but tbh
that sounds like too much effort rn.
Have fun with confusingly long paths in the nix store 🙃
we decided to:
- get rid of unused packages
- simpify the directory layout since we only have one host anyways
- move our docs (such as they are) in-tree
