Package request: realmd

[anthonyroussel]

This is a follow-up ticket for the packaging of realmd, because this package is quite complex.

I propose to separate the work into 2 PRs: the packaging then its NixOS module.
Because the NixOS module for realmd is quite complex.

I am working on it.

New PR opened for the realmd package: #302083

[anthonyroussel]

Unfortunately, we cannot build realmd documentation at the moment.

realmd uses gdbus-codegen (from glib), which is itself based on xmlto, and does not work in offline mode at this time.

gdbus-codegen generates docbook XML files using online docbook DTD and XSL URLs (http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook or http://docbook.sourceforge.net).

A resolution could be to add an offline mode to these packages: #301631

Fixed oddjobd NixOS module: #302195 which is required by the future realmd NixOS module

Thanks for picking this up!

Adding realmd should finish the SSSD suite

realmd NixOS package (#302083) has been added

[anthonyroussel]

Now working on Samba module to prepare the work for the Samba AD DC integration:

• nixos/samba: only create /etc/samba/smb.conf when samba is enabled #302645
• nixos/samba: migrate to structural settings (RFC42) #302681

I would like to use a Samba AD DC environment for the realmd NixOS test.

Nodes for the realmd NixOS test:

• 1 Samba AD DC node
  • Needs a Samba AD DC module (services.samba.ad-dc with enable and ensureDomain attributes)
  • The module will run samba-tool domain provision automatically to bootstrap the Active Directory domain
• 1 realmd client node which joins the domain controller and test that an AD user can connect on the node.

The package is now available in nixpkgs, let's switch to #303144
