Summary

Fixes the dotfiles-updater.service systemd service that was failing with exit code 127 (command not found).

Changes

  • Added missing dependencies to the Linux systemd service PATH:
    • coreutils - provides uname, id, dirname commands
    • gnumake - required by install.sh
    • curl - needed for downloading
    • nix - used by install.sh

This aligns the Linux systemd service dependencies with the macOS launchd version which already included these packages.

Problem

The service was failing because install.sh (called by update.sh) requires commands that weren't available:

  • uname - to detect OS
  • id - to determine current user
  • dirname - for path manipulation
  • make - to run installation
  • curl - for downloads
  • nix - for nix operations

Testing

  • Manually tested the service: systemctl --user start dotfiles-updater.service
  • Verified exit status changed from 127 (command not found) to 0 (success)
  • Confirmed systemd session is no longer degraded

Summary of Changes

Hello @shunkakinoki, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request addresses a critical issue with the dotfiles-updater systemd service on Linux by ensuring all necessary command-line tools are available in its execution environment. Beyond this fix, it significantly enhances the SSH client configuration by adopting modern and post-quantum cryptographic algorithms. Furthermore, it refines the secret management workflow for a multi-machine setup, enabling secure sharing and automated deployment of encrypted secrets, such as a GitHub SSH key, between galactica and kyber hosts.

Highlights

  • Fix dotfiles-updater service: Resolved systemd service failures on Linux by adding essential PATH dependencies (coreutils, gnumake, curl, nix) required by install.sh, which previously caused 'command not found' errors.
  • Enhanced SSH Security: Updated SSH client configuration to prefer modern and post-quantum key exchange algorithms (sntrup761x25519) and host key algorithms for improved security against both classical and future quantum attacks.
  • Improved Secret Management for Multi-Machine Setup: Configured agenix secrets to be shared and decrypted across multiple machines (galactica and kyber), including a shared GitHub SSH key, by defining machine-specific public keys and an allMachines list.
  • Automated Secret Rekeying: Introduced a new script (rekey-galactica.sh) and updated secret definitions to facilitate remote rekeying of secrets on galactica to include kyber's public key, streamlining multi-machine secret deployment.
  • GitHub SSH Key Deployment: Explicitly configured the deployment of the shared GitHub SSH key to ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_github with appropriate 0600 permissions on the kyber host.

Code Review

This pull request primarily fixes a failing dotfiles-updater systemd service on Linux by adding missing PATH dependencies, which is a necessary correction. Additionally, the PR introduces significant enhancements for multi-machine secret management using agenix, allowing secrets to be shared between galactica and kyber hosts. This includes refactoring secret definitions, adding a script for remote re-keying, and updating documentation. The PR also hardens SSH client security by enabling modern cryptographic algorithms. While these are valuable improvements, bundling the SSH security hardening and extensive secret management changes with a simple bug fix makes the PR less focused. In the future, consider creating separate PRs for distinct features or fixes to simplify review. My review includes suggestions to improve script robustness and reduce code duplication in your Nix configurations.

You've done a great job refactoring this file to use a let block. To further improve maintainability and avoid duplicating public key definitions across multiple files (e.g., named-hosts/kyber/secrets.nix), consider centralizing the public key definitions. You could create a common file, for example named-hosts/public-keys.nix, and import it where needed. This would make adding new hosts or updating keys much easier.

Example named-hosts/public-keys.nix:

{
  galactica = "ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAIEKze2jlpV7SyTKA2ezqbumpCiDn+5Sj4z5SxrqfzesX shunkakinoki@gmail.com";
  kyber = "ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAIO0IZtP3KSzY6GVSZ+R+VQYYfu3sEOVaQGDblQxAtwNM ubuntu@kyber";
}

Then you could use it like this:

let
  publicKeys = import ../public-keys.nix;
  allMachines = with publicKeys; [ galactica kyber ];
in
{
  # ...
}

# Remotely rekey galactica secrets to include kyber's public key
# This script should be run from kyber to trigger the rekey on galactica

For better script safety and to be consistent with other scripts in this repository (like update.sh), it's recommended to use set -euo pipefail instead of just set -e.

  • u: Treats unset variables as an error.
  • o pipefail: Causes a pipeline to return the exit status of the last command in the pipe that failed, not the last command of the pipe.
Suggested change
set -e
set -euo pipefail

Using ~ for the home directory in scripts can sometimes be brittle. It's more robust to use the $HOME environment variable explicitly. This ensures the path is correctly resolved even in less common execution contexts.

Suggested change
cd ~/dotfiles
cd "$HOME/dotfiles"

1-38: Good workflow automation with clear fallback guidance.

The script provides a clean user experience with Tailscale SSH automation and helpful manual fallback instructions.

Consider minor robustness improvements:

 # Try Tailscale SSH first
-if tailscale ssh shunkakinoki@galactica "cd ~/dotfiles && make rekey-galactica" 2>/dev/null; then
+if command -v tailscale >/dev/null 2>&1 && tailscale ssh shunkakinoki@galactica "cd ~/dotfiles && make rekey-galactica"; then
   echo "✅ Rekey completed via Tailscale SSH"
 else
-  echo "❌ Tailscale SSH failed. Please run this manually on galactica:"
+  echo "❌ Tailscale SSH unavailable or failed. Please run this manually on galactica:"
   echo ""
   echo "  cd ~/dotfiles"
 # Pull the changes
 echo ""
 echo "📥 Pulling re-encrypted secrets..."
+if [ ! -d ~/dotfiles ]; then
+  echo "❌ ~/dotfiles directory not found"
+  exit 1
+fi
 cd ~/dotfiles
 git pull

Based on coding guidelines, the script follows shell script best practices.

named-hosts/galactica/secrets.nix (1)

1-19: Good centralization of key management.

The introduction of let bindings (galactica, kyber, allMachines) improves maintainability by centralizing SSH public key definitions and making key rotation easier.

Consider extracting the shared let bindings to a common file to avoid duplication between galactica/secrets.nix and kyber/secrets.nix. This would ensure single source of truth for machine public keys.

Example structure:

# common/machine-keys.nix
{
  galactica = "ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAIEKze2jlpV7SyTKA2ezqbumpCiDn+5Sj4z5SxrqfzesX shunkakinoki@gmail.com";
  kyber = "ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAIO0IZtP3KSzY6GVSZ+R+VQYYfu3sEOVaQGDblQxAtwNM ubuntu@kyber";
  allMachines = [ galactica kyber ];
}

Then import in both files:

let
  keys = import ../../common/machine-keys.nix;
in
{
  "keys/id_ed25519.age" = {
    file = ./keys/id_ed25519.age;
    publicKeys = keys.allMachines;
  };
  # ...
}

Based on learnings, keep configurations modular across directories.

named-hosts/kyber/default.nix (1)

48-61: Correct deployment configuration with proper permissions.

The conditional augmentation of age.secrets correctly deploys the GitHub SSH key to ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_github with secure 0600 permissions.

Consider extracting the deployment logic for better readability:

+      # Secret deployment configuration
+      secretDeploymentConfig = {
+        "keys/id_ed25519.age" = {
+          path = "/home/${username}/.ssh/id_ed25519_github";
+          mode = "0600";
+        };
+      };
+
       age.secrets = builtins.mapAttrs (
         name: value: {
           file = value.file;
-          # Deploy GitHub SSH key to ~/.ssh/ with correct permissions
-        } // (
-          if name == "keys/id_ed25519.age" then
-            {
-              path = "/home/${username}/.ssh/id_ed25519_github";
-              mode = "0600";
-            }
-          else
-            { }
-        )
+        } // (secretDeploymentConfig.${name} or { })
       ) (import ./secrets.nix);

This reduces nesting and makes it easier to add deployment config for additional secrets.

Based on learnings, document all configuration options in Nix modules.

51-78: LGTM! Clear workflow documentation.

The SSH key syncing documentation is well-structured, provides clear step-by-step instructions, and aligns with the centralized key management implementation in the codebase.

named-hosts/kyber/secrets.nix (1)

5-24: Correct secret configuration with appropriate scoping.

The secret definitions properly distinguish between machine-specific (tailscale-auth for kyber only) and shared secrets (GitHub SSH key for allMachines), with the shared key correctly referencing the galactica source.

Note: The let bindings duplication mentioned in the galactica/secrets.nix review also applies here. Consider the shared import approach suggested there to maintain DRY principles.

home-manager/programs/ssh/default.nix (1)

41-41: Ensure the GitHub SSH key path matches the deployment configuration.

The identityFile reference to ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_github correctly aligns with the agenix key deployment in named-hosts/kyber/default.nix (path: /home/${username}/.ssh/id_ed25519_github, mode: 0600). The SSH configuration properly uses home-manager's programs.ssh.matchBlocks structure with appropriate GitHub-specific settings (ControlMaster, ControlPath, ControlPersist).

Line length violations in SSH configuration.

The security improvements with sntrup761x25519-sha512@openssh.com and modern algorithms are sound, however lines 26, 28, and 30 exceed the 100-character limit (147, 171, and 178 characters respectively), violating the Nix formatting guideline. These algorithm lists should be split across multiple lines or refactored to meet the formatting requirement.

In home-manager/programs/ssh/default.nix around lines 23 to 30, the long
KexAlgorithms, HostKeyAlgorithms and PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms string values
exceed the 100-character line limit; split each long comma-separated algorithm
list across multiple source lines so no line exceeds 100 characters — for
example break the algorithm lists into multiple string literals concatenated
across lines or represent them as a list and join with commas (using
builtins.concatStringsSep) so formatting stays within the limit while preserving
the exact comma-separated values.

Darwin launchd service requires equivalent dependencies for consistency and reliability.

The update.sh script runs install.sh on both Darwin and Linux, and install.sh depends on curl (for Nix installation), gnumake, and nix. While the Darwin PATH includes fallback directories (/opt/homebrew/bin and /usr/local/bin), explicitly adding pkgs.gnumake, pkgs.curl, and pkgs.nix to the Darwin service PATH (lines 16-18) would ensure these tools are available without relying on prior installations or fallback paths, matching the Linux service configuration and preventing potential exit code 127 failures.

Pull request overview

This PR addresses a failing systemd service on Linux (exit code 127) by adding missing PATH dependencies, but also includes substantial additional changes related to SSH key management and secrets synchronization between hosts. The core fix adds coreutils, gnumake, curl, and nix to the Linux systemd service PATH, aligning it with the macOS launchd version. However, the majority of the changes implement a new SSH key synchronization infrastructure between galactica and kyber using agenix.

Key changes:

  • Fixed Linux systemd service PATH to include required dependencies
  • Implemented SSH key sharing between galactica and kyber hosts using agenix
  • Added post-quantum cryptographic algorithms to SSH configuration
  • Created rekey automation script and documentation

The secret definition references a file from galactica's directory (../galactica/keys/id_ed25519.age). This creates a tight coupling between the two host configurations and means kyber cannot be deployed independently without galactica's secrets being present. While this may be intentional for shared secrets, consider documenting this dependency or using a shared secrets directory to make the relationship more explicit.

# Shared SSH key for GitHub authentication (synced from galactica)

file = ../galactica/keys/id_ed25519.age;

The PR title focuses on fixing the dotfiles-updater service, but the majority of changes are unrelated to that fix. The changes include:

  1. SSH key synchronization between galactica and kyber
  2. SSH configuration updates (post-quantum crypto, GitHub identity file)
  3. Agenix secrets management restructuring
  4. New rekey script and documentation

Consider splitting this into separate PRs:

  • One for the dotfiles-updater PATH fix (lines 43-46)
  • Another for the SSH key management infrastructure changes

This would make the changes easier to review and track in version control.

The macOS launchd configuration includes additional PATH directories (:/opt/homebrew/bin:/usr/local/bin) that are not present in the Linux systemd configuration. While this may be intentional due to platform differences, consider whether Linux systems might need similar additional PATH directories for user-installed tools or if there's an equivalent location that should be included.

The script assumes it's run from a specific location but doesn't validate this. If the script fails at line 34 (cd ~/dotfiles), it will exit due to 'set -e', but the error message won't be clear about what went wrong. Consider adding a check to ensure the dotfiles directory exists before attempting to cd into it, or use a more specific error handling approach.

The GitHub SSH configuration now specifies an identity file (/.ssh/id_ed25519_github) that overrides the global default (/.ssh/id_ed25519). However, there's no fallback mechanism if the GitHub-specific key doesn't exist. Consider whether the global default should remain as a fallback option, especially during the transition period when this key might not be deployed yet on all systems.
