92fa785e75 Call --add-provider during lint stage
I'm also `cat .git/config` because I think the Buildkite destroys the
.git/config file for each build, but I want to verify that. If it does, I prefer
that because it seems to share the spirit of the "Destroy Your Darlings" essay.

aeeaed605e Log git information during briefcase's lint stage
I would like to find out what the state of the repo is during pre-receive hook.

fd626d907e Remove debugging information
Problem: my dev machine returns a different value for `git config --get-all
secrets.patterns` than my CI machine... I ran `git-secrets --register-aws` to
get additional coverage, but it's still not the same. I created an issue on the
git-secrets GH repo to get better troubleshooting advice, but I don't need the
logging info. anymore, so I'm removing it.

56e4d9f9b5 Debugging briefcase pipeline
Somehow `git-secrets --scan-history` is exiting non-zero, when I don't think it
should. Logging some environment information to get a better idea of what's
going on.

f53b08e4a0 Call --scan-history
My current pipeline is succeeding with a false-positive. After this change, it
should return a true-negative.

3f3cba7c32 Define BuildKite pipelines in Nix
After a handful of failed attempts to run lint-secrets.sh due to a missing
`git-secrets` executable on my git server, I decided that now was a good time to
use Nix to define my BuildKite pipelines.

TL;DR:
- Delete ci/scripts directory
- Define ci/pipelines/{briefcase,socrates}.nix

Outside of this repository:
- I logged into my admin account at git.wpcarro.dev and changed my Gitea
  post-receive hook to trigger the briefcase pipeline
- I logged into my BuildKite account, deleted my build-briefcase pipeline,
  created a new briefcase pipeline that called:

  ```shell
  nix-build -A ci.pipelines.briefcase -o briefcase.yaml
  buildkite-agent pipeline upload briefcase.yaml
  ```

One day I will audit all of my ad-hoc, non-mono-repo activity (like the steps I
listed above) and attempt to fit everything herein... one step at a time,
though!

13daa560ba Testing new CI lint-secrets step
Adding a fake secret to test to the new CI build step. I'm not sure I expect
this to fail the step because it relies on a pattern that I defined in
.git/config... let's see!

51ec9e0d88 Move /home/wpcarro/nixpkgs-channels to /var/lib
My builds are still failing. This time with...
```
error: getting status of /home/wpcarro/nixpkgs-channels: Permission denied
```
...what confused me was the following:

```shell
$ sudo -u buildkite-agent-socrates stat /home/wpcarro/nixpkgs-channels
permission denied
```

But `ls -al /home/wpcarro | grep nixpkgs-channels` showed `r-w` for all users...

Thankfully @riking on ##tvl told me that I should check the permissions for
/home/wpcarro and /home...

After running `ls -al /home`, I saw `---` for all user... I then reproduced the
error by running:

```shell
$ sudo -u buildkite-agent-socrates stat /home
permission denied
```

Great!

So then I moved nixpkgs-channels to /var/lib/buildkite-agent-socrates. @edef
recommended that I read more about DynamicUser= setting for systemd, which looks
relevant after I took a cursory glance.

I'll also want a more declarative way to manager this, but I'm making small
improvements every day.

42efb3b08a Support build-briefcase.sh
For now, I'm supporting two CI pipelines:
- build-socrates
- build-briefcase

Conceptually, build-briefcase should cover what build-socrates does now, but
eventually I would like build-socrates to call `switch-to-configuration` so that
all of my websites, etc. stay fresh.

59f7481411 Revise previous opinions about absolute paths GT <bracket-notation>
Unforeseen problem: `buildkite-agent` runs its builds in a separate directory,
so if I want the `nix-build` command to build the newly checked out code, I need
to set <briefcase> to the CWD.

7833632a79 Attempt nix-build instead of nixos-rebuild switch
I've encountered a few problems with attempting to support nixos-rebuild:
- the activation step requires `sudo` privileges
- the `buildkite-agent` runs on the same machine, socrates, that is rebuilding
  itself. This means that when the activation step runs, it will attempt to
  restart `buildkite-agent` when the agent is still working

I'm slowly removing places in my nix code that rely on '<bracket>' notation, so
that I no longer depend on NIX_PATH being set. I still have more work to do.

{covid-uk,sandbox}/default.nix are breaking when I attempt to run my
build-socrates.sh script locally, so I'm temporarily disabling them until I can
get CI working as I expect.

51cdb87223 Prefer nixos-rebuild to the rebuild script
The rebuild script calls sudo, which I won't need as I test running
buildkite-agent prefixed with `sudo` or as the root user.

d56b2210cd Debug build-socrates.sh
- using `set -euo pipefail` for setting recommended failure-modes
- using `set -x` and `echo "$PATH"` to debug my failing build

Sidenote: I find BuildKite's documentation quite helpful!
