 flokli | There is semi-sane ways to tell networkd to try to DHCP on real Ethernet links if nothing else is configured | 18:56:57 |
| flokli | You don't need to only match by name. Obviously, doing this on /all/ interfaces no matter what breaks some stuff in odd ways. | 18:57:42 |
 @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | flokli: Right IIRC networking.interfaces.<name>.useDHCP results in a network file that matches the interface name exactly, but networking.useDHCP uses some highly generic glob like en* or something like that | 18:58:39 |

| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | Got the auto-interface thing working roughly the same as the old scripted initrd way. It's not super pretty but it's probably good enough. I'll push a commit later after I format the syntax it so I don't look like a lunatic | 08:14:09 |

I dunno if we want that by default but I could see a configurable option for it I could to a PR against your branch with an option to enable resolved, libnss_dns and cacert certificates and if you want? Or should that be separate options? i.e. boot.initrd.systemd.network.resolvd.enable & boot.initrd.systemd.network.cacertPackage? The later would keep it fairly customizable as in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/nixos-22.05/nixos/modules/security/ca.nix#L9 | 12:40:15 |

 colemickens | So that will use networking.interfaces to auto-configure stage-1 networking? But it doesn't seem to hoist my manually configured systemd networks into the initrd config? It feels like a bit of a mismatch to me (or maybe I've misunderstood some detail and ma getting the wrong impression from building my systems) | 07:18:55 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | colemickens: well the point of configuring networking.interfaces in stage 1 for compatibility with scripted initrd's networking implementation, and because it's just very convenient. We can't rely on hoisting stage 2 systemd-networkd configs into stage 1 because A) not everyone using initrd networking is using systemd-networkd, and B) not everything you would configure in stage 2 should be configured in stage 1, e.g. wireguard | 07:23:17 |

| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | I suppose it should probably only work that way when boot.initrd.network.enable = true;. i.e. if you just want to manually configure it, you should be able to set boot.initrd.systemd.network.enable = true; and configure it like stage 2, potentially even doing boot.initrd.systemd.network = config.systemd.network; | 07:32:26 |
| colemickens | I think that's why I was confused, yes. I was getting the warning for all of my hosts, when I only opt into intird networking on a couple. | 07:45:32 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | oh wait wut | 07:46:29 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | the warning should definitely not show up if you don't have networking enabled in initrd, even in the current iteration | 07:47:04 |
| * colemickens better just use nix eval to confirm | 07:47:34 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | oh i may have goofed and made the warning show up when initrd networking is disabled... | 07:48:36 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | yea I did the goof | 07:50:03 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | just need an && <stuff> in the mkIf for the warning and assertion | 07:50:24 |
| colemickens | I'll repull the pr in a bit. Thanks! | 07:50:58 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | Ah, actually the current commit is wrong. The scripted initrd doesn't try to configure any interfaces if none are configured and networking.useDHCP = false;, whereas the commit currently defaults to the equivalent of networking.useDHCP = true; when there are no configured interfaces. | 08:03:45 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | And the warning needs to go anyway, because this can be configured on the cmdline | 08:03:59 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | alright there we go. The auto configuration is only done if boot.initrd.network.enable, rather than boot.initrd.systemd.network.enable, meaning the latter gives you full control. And the warning about no networks being configured is gone, because scripted initrd also allowed you to not configure any interfaces, and you can configure them with the cmdline anyway | 08:22:25 |
