oo7-server 0.6.0 only feeds the systemd / PAM secret to existing
keyrings discovered on disk. On first run no keyring exists yet, the
daemon creates an empty 'Login' collection via LockedKeyring::open,
the credential is silently ignored, and any client Unlock() routes to
a prompt that nothing on a niri desktop can satisfy.
Patches/oo7-server/0001-... is upstream commit cf7b9a9 (PR #443)
regenerated relative to the package's sourceRoot ('server/'). It
switches the auto-created default-keyring path to UnlockedKeyring::open
when a secret is available.
The override threads the patch through pkgs.oo7-server.overrideAttrs
in modules/desktop-oo7-daemon.nix and uses the patched derivation for
both services.dbus.packages and systemd.packages so the user unit and
D-Bus activation file land from the same store path. Cargo.lock is
untouched, so the existing cargoDeps hash stays valid.
Drop the override once nixpkgs ships an oo7-server release that
includes the fix (anything past 0.6.0).
oo7-daemon was running but its 'Login' keyring stayed locked because
nothing supplied a master password, so libsecret clients (flare in
particular) blocked indefinitely on keyring.unlock().
The upstream user unit declares
ImportCredential=oo7.keyring-encryption-password
which picks up matching credentials from systemd's per-service
credential machinery. Wire LoadCredential=oo7.keyring-encryption-password
to the agenix-decrypted secret so the daemon unlocks at session start
without any prompt.
The password itself is a fresh 64-byte urandom value encrypted to all
desktop recipients (admin SSH key + mreow + yarn TPM identities); it's
opaque to the user and never typed manually. Owner is primary so the
user-scope unit's LoadCredential read works without elevating.
Verified the activation script chowns the decrypted file primary:users
mode 0400, the user unit override carries the LoadCredential line, and
the resulting drv builds clean.
Without a secret-service implementation on the bus, libsecret clients
like flare fail at startup with 'The communication with libsecret
failed'. None of the desktop hosts had one wired up.
oo7-daemon is the matching pure-Rust implementation (same project as
the oo7 crate flare uses internally), without the GNOME plumbing that
gnome-keyring would drag in. Register the package's D-Bus service
file and systemd user unit, start the daemon at user login, and alias
the unit as dbus-org.freedesktop.secrets.service so D-Bus
auto-activation also resolves cleanly when the wantedBy start hasn't
fired yet.
Verified the toplevel build and that the resulting system carries the
oo7-daemon user unit, the dbus alias symlink, and the
default.target.wants entry.
