Motivation for this change

For a clearer diff: git diff master:nixos/modules/services/continuous-integration/buildkite-agent.nix HEAD:nixos/modules/services/continuous-integration/buildkite-agents.nix

Buildkite 3 supports multiple agents. We've patched nixpkgs to support this a while ago, but hadn't gotten around to contributing it back yet. There are still a few issues that I'd like opinions and/or contributions for:

  • We removed the buildkite2 package, I'm not sure if you're willing to do that at this time. The buildkite-agent module now forwards to the buildkite-agents which I believe is not compatible with buildkite2.
  • The meta-data string option was removed in favor of the tags attrset option. The openssh options were removed in favor of the optional sshKeyPath option because there seems to be no point in requiring a public key and a private key might not always be necessary either. I believe this may break old configurations.

The initial five patches I've pushed runs in production on our servers, so they're fairly well tested, but if any changes are necessary, we may not be able to test them that easily.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nix-review --run "nix-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Assured whether relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

@Lucus16 This will be useful. It will need something added to the release notes though, especially for submodule options which have changed (such as sshKeyPath).

It needs a rebase so I tried rebasing the branch on nixos-unstable, but got this error when deploying:

building all machine configurations...
error: The option `services.buildkite-agent' in `/home/rodney/ops/nixpkgs/nixos/modules/services/continuous-integration/buildkite-agent.nix' is a prefix of options in `/home/rodney/ops/nixpkgs/nixos/modules/rename.nix'.
(use '--show-trace' to show detailed location information)

If I removed the change to rename.nix, then I could deploy multiple buildkite agents. I inspected the configs and they look OK.

Backward compatibility for a single-agent config looks good, but I wasn't able to test it.

The documentation string "Attribute set of extra agents." isn't very descriptive. For example, it doesn't say what the attr name does, because each agent entry also has a name.

The change in rename did indeed need to be dropped. I've updated the documentation. Regarding the release note you asked for, is that supposed to go into doc/release-notes.xml, which hasn't been updated since 2012? Should I bump that version and effectively create release 0.15? Just to make sure it's fine if I arbitrarily create a new release like that?

For the author, reviewers, and committers: this PR was scanned and appears to add a use of the deprecated types.string, which emits a warning as of #66346. Before merging, please change this to another type, possibly:

  • types.str for a single string where merging does not make sense, or cannot work
  • types.lines for multi-line configuration or scripts where merging is possible
  • types.listOf types.str for a mergeable list of strings

@Lucus16 the changes w.r.t. ssh keys make a lot of sense to me. Could you rebase this on latest master, and update the PR regarding types.string and PermissionsStartOnly usage?

We're using it on the nix-community org. /cc @adisbladis

As long as there is a clear upgrade path, where errors can be resolved by reading the error message and following along, it's fine to break back-compat.
