2024-12-16balg02: Correct typo/sCollin J. Doering
* .guix/guix-na/config/balg02.scm: In my tired state, ttl was set on cuirass instead of the guix-publish service! * docs/administration.org: Correct copy/paste error
2024-12-16balg02: Temporarily remove cache-bypass-threshold until guix has been updatedCollin J. Doering

2024-12-16balg02: Correct missing MiB reference in previous commit - a24f14cCollin J. Doering
2024-12-16balg02: Set guix-publish ttl and cache-bypass-thresholdCollin J. Doering
* .guix/guix-na/config/balg02.scm: Prior to this change, the guix-publish cache has been filling up without having items removed. The reason being that the ttl was not set! Additionally, avoid caching items that are less then 150MiB.

2024-12-16balg02: Bypass failing tests in coreutils on btrfsCollin J. Doering
* .guix/guix-na/config/balg02.scm: Add tmpfs based /tmp file-system. This bypasses the issue seen on cuiass.genenetwork.org, where the 'tests/cp/reflink-auto.sh' coreutils test was failing, but not on other build farms or on my personal systems. Further root cause analysis needs to take place, however btrfs' concept of subvolumes may be interfering with the test. A partition outside of where the build is happening is located and selected by coreutils ('coreutils/tests/other-fs-tmpdir'); which ends up selecting '/tmp'. guix-daemon builds occur in /tmp. Because of this, the 'cp --reflink=auto ..' in the failing coreutils test doesn't behave as expected, which in this case would be failing to create the reflink because the files are expected to be on separate partitions. By using a tmpfs /tmp, coreutils will select it during tests, and we can ensure guix-daemon uses a build location other then /tmp (necessitating the following change). (guix-daemon-config): Use /var/tmp for guix-daemon builds (so they are not built on tmpfs)

2024-09-27channels.scm: Update guix channelCollin J. Doering
2024-09-27Update documentationCollin J. Doering
* README.org: Add new README that details how to use cuirass.genenetwork.org, and provides links to other reference documents. * docs/administration.org: Add a new, initially sparse, reference document detailing administration and maintenance of cuirass.genenetwork.org. * docs/initial-setup.org: Adjust abstract phrasing.

2024-07-22balg02: Add guix-north-america as a cuirass channel specCollin J. Doering
* .guix/guix-na/config/balg02.scm: Extended %cuirass-specs, adding this channel itself as a cuirass specification. This allows for change to this configuration channel (guix-north-america) to be validated before deployment. Further, it could be extended to build operating-system images for balg02 and any other machines, and even running tests on them to ensure they will deploy and function as expected.
2024-07-22balg02: Adjust guix-daemon configuration; only use local substitutesCollin J. Doering
* .guix/guix-na/config/balg02.scm: In response to feedback from Ludo (https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2024-07/msg00073.html), adjust guix-daemon configuration to use only local substitutes. This is at a cost of extra build time on balg02, but will allow for more build diversity among guix substitute servers.

2024-05-31balg02: Re-enable https (that was disabled in 4230616)Collin J. Doering
- https was initially disabled as nginx failed to start due to a missing certificate - Worth noting that dhparam's were manually generated on balg02

* .guix/guix-na/config/balg02.scm (%automation-user): Removed variable (only used in one place). (%cuirass-specs): New variable. (Initial) Cuirass specifications that are run by the guix-na build farm. (publish-robots.txt): New variable. Used in nginx configuration. (publish-locations): New function. Defines nginx publish locations (used for http and https servers). (balg02-locations): New function. Defines nginx publish locations used for guix-na. (%publish-url): New variable. String representing local publish URL. (%tls-settings): New variable. Captures nginx tls settings used in nginx configuration. (le): New function. Generates lets encrypt path given a host and optionally a private key. (languages-to-accept): New variable. Languages for i8ln. (accept-languages): New function. (%balg02-servers): New variable. balg02 nginx servers. (%extra-content): New variable. Extra nginx configuration content. (%nginx-configuration): New variable. Capture nginx configuration given all previous helper functions and variables. (%nginx-cache-activation): New variable. Service the ensures /var/cache/nginx exists on the first run. (%nginx-deploy-hook): New variable. Hook used upon cerbot certificate updates. (balg02 (packages)): Add btrfs-progs. (balg02): Remove root ssh key (not necessary as ssh root login is disabled). (balg02 (services)): Add cuirass, certbot, nginx, and guix-publish services.

2024-04-12README.org: Correct typo (refer to the correct installation disk)Collin J. Doering
* README.org: It was discovered that the wrong disk was referenced in the README! Its worth noting that this documentation error does not impact the configuration of balg02, as it doesn't directly reference the disk its being installed to, but instead references where /boot/efi is located (which is setup as part preparing for the guix installation by mounting guix's esp partition to /mnt/boot/efi) as well as references to partitions by label. Also noteworthy is that this documentation error does not impact the Manual Testing of bootstrapping Guix from a Debian VM, which still quiet closely mimics balg02.
