OCI backed services

Should you wish to manage your Docker containers with the same consistent interface you use for your other Shepherd services, oci-container-service-type is the tool to use: given an Open Container Initiative (OCI) container image, it will run it in a Shepherd service. One example where this is useful: it lets you run services that are available as Docker/OCI images but not yet packaged for Guix.

Variable: oci-container-service-type

This is a thin wrapper around Docker’s CLI that executes OCI images backed processes as Shepherd Services.

(service oci-container-service-type
         (list
          (oci-container-configuration
           (network "host")
           (image
            (oci-image
             (repository "guile")
             (tag "3")
             (value (specifications->manifest '("guile")))
             (pack-options '(#:symlinks (("/bin/guile" -> "bin/guile"))
                             #:max-layers 2))))
           (entrypoint "/bin/guile")
           (command
            '("-c" "(display \"hello!\n\")")))
          (oci-container-configuration
           (image "prom/prometheus")
           (ports
             '(("9000" . "9000")
               ("9090" . "9090"))))
          (oci-container-configuration
           (image "grafana/grafana:10.0.1")
           (network "host")
           (volumes
             '("/var/lib/grafana:/var/lib/grafana")))))

In this example three different Shepherd services are going to be added to the system. Each oci-container-configuration record translates to a docker run invocation and its fields directly map to options. You can refer to the upstream documentation for the semantics of each value. If the images are not found, they will be pulled. The services with (network "host") are going to be attached to the host network and are supposed to behave like native processes with regard to networking.

This is especially useful to pass secrets from the host to the container without having them on the docker run’s command line: by setting the MYSQL_PASSWORD on the host and by passing --env MYSQL_PASSWORD through the extra-arguments field, it is possible to securely set values in the container environment. This field’s value can be a list of pairs or strings, even mixed:

(list '("LANGUAGE\" . "eo:ca:eu")
      "JAVA_HOME=/opt/java")

Pair members can be strings, gexps or file-like objects. Strings are passed directly to make-forkexec-constructor.

A string like myregistry.local:5000/testing/test-image that names the OCI image.

tag (default: "latest") (type: string)

A string representing the OCI image tag. Defaults to latest.

value (type: oci-lowerable-image)

Fail2Ban service

fail2ban scans log files (e.g. /var/log/apache/error_log) and bans IP addresses that show malicious signs – repeated password failures, attempts to make use of exploits, etc.

fail2ban-service-type service type is provided by the (gnu services security) module.

This service type runs the fail2ban daemon. It can be configured in various ways, which are:

Basic configuration

The basic parameters of the Fail2Ban service can be configured via its fail2ban configuration, which is documented below.

User-specified jail extensions

The fail2ban-jail-service function can be used to add new Fail2Ban jails.

Shepherd extension mechanism

Service developers can extend the fail2ban-service-type service type itself via the usual service extension mechanism.

Variable: fail2ban-service-type

This is the type of the service that runs fail2ban daemon. Below is an example of a basic, explicit configuration:

(append
 (list
  (service fail2ban-service-type
           (fail2ban-configuration
            (extra-jails
             (list
              (fail2ban-jail-configuration
               (name "sshd")
               (enabled? #t))))))
  ;; There is no implicit dependency on an actual SSH
  ;; service, so you need to provide one.
  (service openssh-service-type))
 %base-services)
Procedure: fail2ban-jail-service svc-type jail

Extend svc-type, a <service-type> object with jail, a fail2ban-jail-configuration object.

Por ejemplo:

(append
 (list
  (service
   ;; The 'fail2ban-jail-service' procedure can extend any service type
   ;; with a fail2ban jail.  This removes the requirement to explicitly
   ;; extend services with fail2ban-service-type.
   (fail2ban-jail-service
    openssh-service-type
    (fail2ban-jail-configuration
     (name "sshd")

The maximum number of seconds a randomized ban time should last. This can be useful to stop “clever” botnets calculating the exact time an IP address can be unbanned again.

ban-time-overall-jails? (type: maybe-boolean)

When true, it specifies the search of an IP address in the database should be made across all jails. Otherwise, only the current jail of the ban IP address is considered.

ignore-self? (type: maybe-boolean)

Never ban the local machine’s own IP address.

ignore-ip (default: '()) (type: list-of-strings)

A list of IP addresses, CIDR masks or DNS hosts to ignore. fail2ban will not ban a host which matches an address in this list.

Provide cache parameters for the ignore failure check.

filter (type: maybe-fail2ban-jail-filter-configuration)

The filter to use by the jail, specified via a <fail2ban-jail-filter-configuration> object. By default, jails have names matching their filter name.

log-time-zone (type: maybe-string)

The default time zone for log lines that do not have one.

log-encoding (type: maybe-symbol)

The encoding of the log files handled by the jail. Possible values are: 'ascii, 'utf-8 and 'auto.

Backup Services

The (gnu services backup) module offers services for backing up file system trees. For now, it provides the restic-backup-service-type.

With restic-backup-service-type, you can periodically back up directories and files with Restic, which supports end-to-end encryption and deduplication. Consider the following configuration:

(use-service-modules backup ) ;for 'restic-backup-service-type'
(use-package-modules sync )   ;for 'rclone'

(operating-system
  ;; …
  (packages (append (list rclone)    ;for use by restic
                    %base-packages))
  (services
    (list
      (service restic-backup-service-type
               (restic-backup-configuration
                 (jobs
                   (list (restic-backup-job
                           (name "remote-ftp")
                           (repository "rclone:remote-ftp:backup/restic")
                           (password-file "/root/.restic")
                           ;; Every day at 23.
                           (schedule "0 23 * * *")
                           (files '("/root/.restic"
                                    "/root/.config/rclone"
                                    "/etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key"
                                    "/etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key.pub"
                                    "/etc/guix/signing-key.pub"
                                    "/etc/guix/signing-key.sec"))))))))))

Each restic-backup-job translates to an mcron job which sets the RESTIC_PASSWORD environment variable by reading the first line of password-file and runs restic backup, creating backups using rclone of all the files listed in the files field.

The restic-backup-service-type installs as well restic-guix to the system profile, a restic utility wrapper that allows for easier interaction with the Guix configured backup jobs. For example the following could be used to instantaneusly trigger a backup for the above shown configuration, without waiting for the scheduled job:

restic-guix backup remote-ftp
Data Type: restic-backup-configuration

Available restic-backup-configuration fields are:

jobs (default: '()) (type: list-of-restic-backup-jobs)

The list of backup jobs for the current system.

Data Type: restic-backup-job

Available restic-backup-job fields are:

restic (default: restic) (type: package)

The restic package to be used for the current job.

user (default: "root") (type: string)

The user used for running the current job.

repository (type: string)

The restic repository target of this job.

name (type: string)

A string denoting a name for this job.

password-file (type: string)

Name of the password file, readable by the configured user, that will be used to set the RESTIC_PASSWORD environment variable for the current job.

schedule (type: gexp-or-string)

A string or a gexp that will be passed as time specification in the mcron job specification (see mcron job specifications in GNU mcron).

files (default: '()) (type: list-of-lowerables)

The list of files or directories to be backed up. It must be a list of values that can be lowered to strings.

verbose? (default: #f) (type: boolean)

Whether to enable verbose output for the current backup job.

extra-flags (default: '()) (type: list-of-lowerables)

A list of values that are lowered to strings. These will be passed as command-line arguments to the current job restic backup invokation.

DLNA/UPnP Services

The (gnu services upnp) module offers services related to UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) and DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance), networking protocols that can be used for media streaming and device interoperability within a local network. For now, this module provides the readymedia-service-type.

ReadyMedia (formerly known as MiniDLNA) is a DLNA/UPnP-AV media server. The project’s daemon, minidlnad, can serve media files (audio, pictures, and video) to DLNA/UPnP-AV clients available on the network. readymedia-service-type is a Guix service that wraps around ReadyMedia’s minidlnad.

Consider the following configuration:

(use-service-modules upnp )

(operating-system
  
  (services
   (list (service readymedia-service-type
                  (readymedia-configuration
                   (media-directories
                    (list (readymedia-media-directory
                           (path "/media/audio")
                           (types '(A)))
                          (readymedia-media-directory
                           (path "/media/video")
                           (types '(V)))
                          (readymedia-media-directory
                           (path "/media/misc"))))
                   (extra-config '(("notify_interval" . "60")))))
         )))

This sets up the ReadyMedia daemon to serve files from the media folders specified in media-directories. The media-directories field is mandatory. All other fields (such as network ports and the server name) come with a predefined default and can be omitted.

Data Type: readymedia-configuration

Available readymedia-configuration fields are:

path (type: string)

The media folder location.

types (default: '()) (type: list)

A list indicating the types of file included in the media folder. Valid values are combinations of individual media types, i.e. symbol A for audio, P for pictures, V for video. An empty list means that no type is specified.
