stuebinm 2e1c865ebf Patch mattermost module to allow secrets outside the nix store
This adds a custom mattermost module (`services.mattermost-patched`) which is
identical to the one in nixpkgs except that it also has an option `secretConfig`,
which should point to a file containing all secret parts of the mattermost config
(e.g. mailserver password), and which is merged with the config genereated from
the module at startup time.

This allows us to have a (almost) immutable config without having secrets in the
nix store.

Before deploying this, add a secrets file at /var/lib/mattermost/screts.json
(on the host — there is a bind mount in place so we won't have to enter the
container each time to change something).

hacc nixfiles

welcome to hacc nixfiles (haccfiles). this is the code describing our nix-based infrastructure.

structure

  • default.nix: Entrypoint to the config
  • common/: configuration common to all hosts
  • desktop/: desktop-relevant communication
  • modules/: home-grown modules for hacc-specific services
  • nix/: sources files, managed with niv
  • pkgs/: packages we built and don't want to upstream

working with the haccfiles

deploy:

nix build -f . deploy.$hostname && ./result switch

$hostname can be replaced with any hostname or group

committing to haccfiles

  • Golden Rule: DO NOT COMMIT TO MAIN
    • exceptions apply, if you are not sure where to commit, don't commit to main
  • split up commits, every commit is one atomic change
    • e.g. no big "did some changes" but instead "updated service x", "updated service y", "update service z"
  • follow the commit format: "$prefix$place: $change"
    • prefix: one of fixup, nothing
    • place: one of "modules/$module", "$hostname/service", "common/($place)", "pkgs/$pkgs" or "sources"
    • change: describe your change, don't go over the character limit where git starts hiding/wrapping
  • Exception: autogenerated messages (merge commits, reverts, etc)
