Add PeerTube package (v3.1.0), without module #119319

stevenroose · 2021-04-13T11:26:24Z

Split off of #106492 with only the pkg addition, not the module. Will open a separate MR for the module. Changed since #106492 is that I bumped version to v3.1.0.

Node is used in scripts/build/server.sh so it should be in nativeBuildInputs.

Oh cool thanks. I pushed a change already that makes sure it's using the same nodejs version as default.nix.

Suggested change

, nodejs ? pkgs.nodejs-14_x

, nodejs

What's wrong with this line? It's currently the default, but I wouldn't expect the team to keep track of which pkgs are expecting which defaults. Or is it bad that we're also passing it in in all-packages?

I think you misunderstood what the ? operator does. name ? e provides a default value in the attribute set argument which is used in the case the name is missing.

nix-repl> f = { n ? "default" }: n nix-repl> f { n = "non default"; } "non default" nix-repl> f { } "default"

That's it. In your case, the attribute set argument is generated by the callPackage mechanism, not manually. If callPackage knows a package named nodejs it will provide it to your function. This package name will always be around so this ? construct does not what you intended to do.
If you really want 14.x version, just use nodejs-14_x in your attribute set or override nodejs in the callPackage call like you did :)
https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/#ss-functions

Then you can remove light ? null, pkgs.

Strange, that works for me. If I change the buildInputs with nativeBuildInputs, it stops working for me..

Pushed some changes:

add nodejs export so that module can use the same version
inherit nodejs from default.nix into server.nix and client.nix

@stevenroose error build with sandbox true.

How do you do that? I'm trying nix-build --option build-use-sandbox true . -A peertube --verbose but that seems to work..

  nix = {

    useSandbox = true;

Yes, you need to write there - useSandbox = true;
I don't know how to reproduce the error on non-NixOS system.

ThibautMarty · 2021-04-14T10:27:41Z

Thanks for the effort into packaging PeerTube.
However, I don't understand the package's complexity around yarn. It seems unnecessary to me.

I ran in the PeerTube source directory on commit e81af30 (I admit v3.1.0 seems to have a somehow broken yarn.lock file, but that could be fixed):

nix-shell -p yarn yarn2nix nodejs python3
yarn install --production
yarn2nix > yarn.nix

(Be sure to have a recent yarn2nix with nix-community/yarn2nix#130, I think it solves the problem with http-node dependency but I didn't checked).

Then I copied yarn.nix to the nixpkgs package's directory, plus this default.nix file:

{ stdenv, lib, fetchFromGitHub, mkYarnPackage, yarn2nix-moretea }:

mkYarnPackage rec {
  pname = "peertube";
  version = "3.1.0-e81af30";

  src = fetchFromGitHub {
    owner = "Chocobozzz";
    repo = "PeerTube";
    rev = "e81af3000f1881ec5041678ae54b402b0314bd42";
    sha256 = "0cwgla4w27cbygf8rkjpr0bqgqwbb332yvla1jbhrgd86rkn47x9";
  };

  yarnNix = ./yarn.nix;
  yarnFlags = yarn2nix-moretea.defaultYarnFlags ++ [ "--production" ];
}

This builds correctly on top of your commit.
However, the package is somewhat broken: the $out/bin/peertube symlink is broken. This is probably something related to the dist phase? But I think it can be fixed without the yarn-related scaffolding.
The dependencies (youtube-dl?) can be added if needed (or maybe they should just be in the future NixOS' module $PATH).
Please tell me if I'm wrong or if I missed something (client? dist?)

Tbh I don't understand too much about yarn. But I tried for several weeks to get this to work from scratch. There's some dependencies in the package.json that are forced to use a certain version and that didn't seem to work with yarn install --offline. The approach in this package wsa done by @immae after I struggled for multiple weeks.

There's indeed also the patch for the yarn.lock and the bcrypt special need.

Also, in your example, you don't have the server and the client dists built both.

ThibautMarty · 2021-04-19T10:13:33Z

I see. I took a look and PeerTube seems to need two (or three) steps to be installed:

yarn install
(npm install)
npm run build

Step 1 creates the node_modules directories in the root directory and the client directory.

My strategy would be to keep a single mkYarnPackage with a postInstall for the extra steps:

  pkgConfig.peertube = {
    postInstall = ''
      patchShebangs --build ../..
      npm install
      npm run build
    '';
  };

It's possible to use the Nix code generated node2nix to generate Nix files allowing to run the npm commands in a sandboxed environment. (see https://github.com/svanderburg/node2nix#using-the-nodejs-environment-in-other-nix-derivations)
Indeed, some packages needs fixes (bcrypt) and I failed at this stage…

One thing is certain: you need to test this package with sandboxing enabled, or you won't catch 100% of errors related to Yarn/NPM doing (non fixed-output) network requests.

@stevenroose https://github.com/mohe2015/nixpkgs/tree/my-add-peertube-pkg is a working version with sandboxing (though without the suggestions here). But it should be pretty simple to adjust your current code to this as I only changed one or two lines.

Just a small update on this.
I tried to update this PR (on my local) and build it with version 3.4.0
However I encountered 2 errors both on the server and the client.
I posted those errors upstream, I don't think they are related to nix.
