Describe the bug

nix fails to install packages that require building from behind a proxy. It cannot download sources from behind a proxy.

Steps To Reproduce

Create a fresh Debian 12 system that can only connect to the internet through a proxy at 127.0.0.1:8082

Create an install script that works correctly from behind proxy:

$ mkdir ~/tmp
$ touch ~/tmp/install_nix.sh
$ chmod +x ~/tmp/install_nix.sh

Write the following code in ~/tmp/install_nix.sh
```
#!/usr/bin/env bash
```

export FTP_PROXY=127.0.0.1:8082 export HTTP_PROXY=$FTP_PROXY export HTTPS_PROXY=$FTP_PROXY

curl --location https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh -s -- "$@"

- Install nix from behind proxy:

This installation tool will set up your computer with the Nix package manager. This will happen in a few stages:

Make sure your computer doesn't already have Nix. If it does, I will show you instructions on how to clean up your old install.
Show you what I am going to install and where. Then I will ask if you are ready to continue.
Create the system users (uids [30001..30032]) and groups (gid 30000) that the Nix daemon uses to run builds. To create system users in a different range, exit and run this tool again with NIX_FIRST_BUILD_UID set.
Perform the basic installation of the Nix files daemon.
Configure your shell to import special Nix Profile files, so you can use Nix.
Start the Nix daemon.

Would you like to see a more detailed list of what I will do? No TTY, assuming you would say yes :)

I will:

make sure your computer doesn't already have Nix files (if it does, I will tell you how to clean them up.)
create local users (see the list above for the users I'll make)
create a local group (nixbld)
install Nix in to /nix
create a configuration file in /etc/nix
set up the "default profile" by creating some Nix-related files in /root
back up /etc/bash.bashrc to /etc/bash.bashrc.backup-before-nix
update /etc/bash.bashrc to include some Nix configuration
load and start a service (at /etc/systemd/system/nix-daemon.service and /etc/systemd/system/nix-daemon.socket) for nix-daemon

Ready to continue? No TTY, assuming you would say yes :)

~~> Checking for artifacts of previous installs Before I try to install, I'll check for signs Nix already is or has been installed on this system.

---- Reminders ----------------------------------------------------------------- [ 1 ] Nix won't work in active shell sessions until you restart them.

- Save the following code in `/etc/nix/nix.conf`:

experimental-features = nix-command flakes build-users-group = nixbld

- Restart terminal

ramboman commented 6 months ago

Here is what I did afterward:

Make a simplified derivation which only downloads a single nerdfont to try to isolate the problem (agave-nerdfont.nix):

{ pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> { system = builtins.currentSystem; }
, stdenv ? pkgs.stdenv
, fetchurl ? pkgs.fetchurl
}:
stdenv.mkDerivation {
name = "agave-nerdfont";
src = fetchurl {
url = "https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/releases/download/v3.2.1/Agave.tar.xz";
sha256 = "1xxylrjb0zbq3kj14fx5d3lpb7abl0br6mkj961i391qyqlx01y3";
};
}

Build the derivation:

This issue has been mentioned on NixOS Discourse. There might be relevant details there:

https://discourse.nixos.org/t/nix-fails-to-install-packages-that-require-building-from-behind-a-proxy/43681/1

thufschmitt commented 6 months ago

It looks like Nixpkgs's fetchers only honors the lower case version of these variables: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/cc5b30542b0202032f2ad5792cfa3955446fdfdf/lib/fetchers.nix#L10

Can you try with these in the systemd override to confirm?

ramboman commented 6 months ago

Yes, if I replace the uppercase proxy variables in the systemd override.conf with their lowercase counterpart, fetchurl works again.

Here is what I did next:

Check for lowercase proxy variables in the nix code:

$ grep -r _proxy
scripts/install-systemd-multi-user.sh:create_systemd_proxy_env() {
scripts/install-systemd-multi-user.sh:    vars="http_proxy https_proxy ftp_proxy no_proxy HTTP_PROXY HTTPS_PROXY FTP_PROXY NO_PROXY"
scripts/install-systemd-multi-user.sh:handle_network_proxy() {
scripts/install-systemd-multi-user.sh:    PROXY_ENV_STRING=$(create_systemd_proxy_env)
scripts/install-systemd-multi-user.sh:        handle_network_proxy
doc/manual/src/language/advanced-attributes.md:    impureEnvVars = [ "http_proxy" "https_proxy" ... ];
doc/manual/src/language/advanced-attributes.md:    in the environment variables `http_proxy` and friends.
doc/manual/src/release-notes/rl-0.10.md:    environment variables `http_proxy`, `https_proxy`, `ftp_proxy` or
doc/manual/src/release-notes/rl-0.10.md:    `all_proxy` appropriately. Functions such as `fetchurl` in Nixpkgs
doc/manual/src/installation/env-variables.md:environment variables: `http_proxy`, `https_proxy`, `ftp_proxy`,
doc/manual/src/installation/env-variables.md:`no_proxy`, `HTTP_PROXY`, `HTTPS_PROXY`, `FTP_PROXY`, `NO_PROXY`.
tests/nixos/nss-preload.nix:            "http_proxy" "https_proxy" "ftp_proxy" "all_proxy" "no_proxy"
src/libexpr/fetchurl.nix:    "http_proxy" "https_proxy" "ftp_proxy" "all_proxy" "no_proxy"
src/nix-build/nix-build.cc:        "http_proxy", "https_proxy", "ftp_proxy", "all_proxy", "no_proxy"
src/libstore/globals.hh:          This option is useful for, e.g., setting `https_proxy` for
src/libstore/unix/build/local-derivation-goal.cc:       `http_proxy' to be easily passed to downloaders like
src/nix/main.cc:        "http_proxy",
src/nix/main.cc:        "https_proxy",
src/nix/main.cc:        "ftp_proxy",

Check for uppercase proxy variables in the nix code:

$ grep -r _PROXY
scripts/install-systemd-multi-user.sh:    vars="http_proxy https_proxy ftp_proxy no_proxy HTTP_PROXY HTTPS_PROXY FTP_PROXY NO_PROXY"
doc/manual/src/installation/env-variables.md:`no_proxy`, `HTTP_PROXY`, `HTTPS_PROXY`, `FTP_PROXY`, `NO_PROXY`.
src/nix/main.cc:        "HTTP_PROXY",
src/nix/main.cc:        "HTTPS_PROXY",
src/nix/main.cc:        "FTP_PROXY"

Different sections of the code honor different set of proxy variables.

That's true. Feel free to send a patch to unify all that (also in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/cc5b30542b0202032f2ad5792cfa3955446fdfdf/lib/fetchers.nix#L10 as linked above as it is the one causing you troubles)

I just don't know anything much about these variables. E.g. are there usually upper case and lower case pairs? That seems odd to me

From my understanding, nix uses cURL and its library to perform downloads. cURL relies on these variables to perform downloads through a proxy. According to the cURL manual, in the Environment section, both lowercase and uppercase proxy variables are supported (except for http).

Regarding environment variables in general, they seems to be defined in uppercase:

$ env
<most if not all variables in uppercase>

NixOS / nix

`nix` fails to install packages that require building from behind a proxy #10491
