Frequently users want Hydra access just to restart jobs. However,
prior to this commit the only way to grant that access was by giving
them full Admin access which isn't necessarily what we want to do.
By having a restart-jobs role, we can grant this privilege to users
who are known to the community and want to help, but aren't long-time
members.
I haven't tested this commit, but it looks good to me...
When using the "build" or "sysbuild" jobset input types in conjunction
with a binary cache store, the evaluator needs to be able to fetch
store paths from the binary cache. Typical usage:
store_uri = s3://nix-test-cache?secret-key=...
eval_substituter = s3://nix-test-cache
Also, the public key of the binary cache must be added to
binary-cache-public-keys in nix.conf, otherwise the local nix-daemon
won't allow the store paths to be copied over.
Also, remove support in hydra-eval-jobs for multiple jobset input
alternatives. The web interface hasn't supported this in a long
time. Thus we can use the regular "--arg" handler.
This makes downloading/viewing build results work with binary cache
stores. For good performance, this should be used in conjunction with
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/commit/ca580bec35ea4d1984e36864158d7be99cfcb34b,
i.e. you should set store_uri to something like
s3://my-cache?local-nar-cache=/tmp/nar-cache
to cache NARs between requests.
When creating a Hydra user with the `hydra-create-user` command, you can now
provide a SHA1 password hash with the `--password-hash` flag. This is useful for
the upcoming work on Fully Declarative Hydra, since the end user should not have
to specify plaintext passwords in their `configuration.nix` file.
Thus, we no longer hold the send lock while substituting missing paths
on the build machine. This is a good thing in particular for macOS
builders which have a tendency to hang forever in curl downloads.
Previously, when hydra-queue-runner was restarted, any pending "build
finished" notifications were lost. Now hydra-queue-runner marks
finished but unnotified builds in the database and uses that to run
pending notifications at startup.
The queue runner can now run up to ‘max-concurrent-notifications’ in
parallel (default is 2). This is useful when some hydra-notify
invocations can take a long time to complete (e.g. because they need
to compress a giant build log) and we don't want this to block all
other notifications.
As @dtzWill discovered, with the concurrent hydra-evaluator, there can
be multiple active transactions adding builds to the database. As a
result, builds can become visible in a non-monotonically increasing
order, breaking the queue monitor's assumption that build IDs only go
up.
The fix is to have hydra-eval-jobset provide the lowest build ID it
just added in the builds_added notification, and have the queue
monitor check from there.
Fixes#496.
