The nginx_access syslog tag added in #37 (feat/emily-incident-logging) used tag=nginx-access. nginx's syslog sink only accepts alphanumeric characters and underscores in the tag field, so the generated nginx.conf failed its config test on linode: nginx: [emerg] syslog "tag" only allows alphanumeric characters and underscore in .../nginx.conf:114 Because nginx-pre-start failed, nginx.service crash-looped until it hit systemd's start-limit-hit and gave up entirely. Since Nextcloud is proxied through nginx (127.0.0.1:8080, fronted by haproxy's 'next' backend), this took next.thehellings.com down with a 503 from haproxy (phpfpm-nextcloud/postgresql/redis backends were all healthy and unaffected - purely an nginx config parse failure). Fix: use an underscore (nginx_access) instead of a hyphen.
This is a unified repo to contain my personal configurations for NixOS machines.
How To Use This
Go through the normal process to setup a NixOS system during installation.
- Boot from an appropriate medium
- Parition the drives
- Mount them
- Before you generate out the configuration, clone this repoistory to your /etc/nixos folder
- Run the configuration generator. It should only genreate the hardware-configuration.nix file, which this repo gitignores
- Create a folder and file with the machine name in
hosts/<machine>/default.nix - Add
hosts/default.nixan appropriate entry for the machine you are building - Create a file
home/hosts/<machine>/default.nixwith the new machine name as well
Adding new hosts
To add a new host, create a folder in the directory hosts/ that matches the name of
the target system. Each host must contain, minimally, a default.nix file that serves
as the basis of configuring that host.
Test build a VM for your system
