Making quite reasonable progress, though only running under emulation.
|
|
Since almost everything so far has been a recap of nixwrt, that's to
|
|
be expected.
|
|
|
|
The example config starts some services at boot, or at least attempts
|
|
to. Next we shoud
|
|
|
|
- add some network config to run-qemu
|
|
- implement udhcp and odhcp properly to write outputs
|
|
and create resolv.conf and all that
|
|
- write some kind of test so we can refactor the crap
|
|
- not let the tests write random junk everywhere

We can store outputs in the s6 scan directory, it seems:
|
|
|
|
> There is, however, a guarantee that s6-supervise will never touch subdirectories named data or env. So if you need to store user information in the service directory with the guarantee that it will never be mistaken for a configuration file, no matter the version of s6, you should store that information in the data or env subdirectories of the service directory.

what network peers do we want to model for testing?
|
|
|
|
- wan: pppoe
|
|
- wan: ip over ethernet, w/ dhcp service provided
|
|
- wan: l2tp over (ip over ethernet, w/ dhcp service provided)
|
|
- lan: something with a dhcp client
|
|
|
|
https://accel-ppp.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ could use this for testing
|
|
pppoe and l2tp?

To build a nixos vm with accel-ppp installed (not yet configured)
|
|
|
|
nix-build '<nixpkgs/nixos>' -A vm -I nixos-config=./tests/ppp-server-configuration.nix -o ppp-server
|
|
QEMU_OPTS="-display none -serial mon:stdio -nographic" ./ppp-server/bin/run-nixos-vm
|
|
|
|
To test it's configured I thought I'd run it against an OpenWrt qemu
|
|
install, so, fun with qemu networking ensues. This config in ../openwrt-qemu
|
|
is using two multicast socket networks -
|
|
|
|
nix-shell -p qemu --run "./run.sh ./openwrt-22.03.0-x86-64-generic-kernel.bin openwrt-22.03.0-x86-64-generic-ext4-rootfs.img "
|
|
|
|
so hopefully we can spin up other VMs connected either to its lan or
|
|
its wan: *however* we do first need to configure its wan to use pppoe
|
|
|
|
uci set network.wan=interface
|
|
uci set network.wan.device='eth1'
|
|
uci set network.wan.proto='pppoe'
|
|
uci set network.wan.username='db123@a.1'
|
|
uci set network.wan.password='NotReallyTheSecret'
|
|
|
|
(it's ext4 so this will probably stick)

TODO - bugs, missing bits, other infelicities as they occur to me:
|
|
|
|
DONE 1) shutdown doesn't work as its using the busybox one not s6.
|
|
|
|
2) perhaps we shouldn't have process-based services like dhcp, ppp
|
|
implement "address provider interface" - instead have a separate
|
|
service for interface address that depends on the service and uses its
|
|
output
|
|
|
|
* ppp is not like dhcp because dhcp finds addresses for an existing
|
|
interface but ppp makes a new one
|
|
|
|
3) when I killed ppp it restarted, but I don't think it reran
|
|
defaultroute which is supposed to depend on it. (Might be important
|
|
e.g. if we'd been assigned a different IP address). Investigate
|
|
semantics of s6-rc service dependencies
|
|
|
|
DONE 4) make the pppoe test run unattended
|
|
|
|
5) write a test for udhcp
|
|
|
|
6) squashfs size is ~ 14MB for a configuration with not much in it,
|
|
look for obvious wastes of space
|
|
|
|
7) some of the pppoe config should be moved into a ppp service
|
|
|
|
8) some of configuration.nix (e.g. defining routes) should be moved into
|
|
tools
|
|
|
|
DONE 9) split tools up instead of having it all one file
|
|
|
|
10) is it OK to depend on squashfs pseudofiles if we might want to
|
|
switch to ubifs? will there always be a squashfs underneath? might
|
|
we want to change the pseudofiles in an overlay?
|
|
|
|
11) haven't done (overlayfs) overlays at all
|
|
|
|
12) overlay.nix needs splitting up
|
|
|
|
13) upgrade ppp to something with an ipv6-up-script option
|
|
|
|
14) add ipv6 support generally
|
|
|
|
15) "ip address add" seems to magically recognise v4 vs v6 but
|
|
is that specified or fluke?
|
|
|
|
16) tighten up the module specs. (DONE) services.foo should be a s6-rc
|
|
service, (DONE) kernel config should be checked in some way
|
|
|
|
DONE 17) rename nixwrt references in kernel builder
|
|
|
|
18) maybe stop suffixing all the service names with .service
|
|
|
|
19) syslogd - use busybox or s6?
