We moved the tent machine to the server room in the BSC building and is
now directly connected to the raccoon via NAT.

Documents the location, board and serial numbers so we can track the
machines if they move around. Some information is unkown.
Using the Nix language to encode the machines location and properties
allows us to later use that information in the configuration of the
machines themselves.

We will need to setup an VPN to be able to access fox in its new
location, so for now we simply remove the IPMI monitoring.

Fox should reply once the machine is connected to the UPC network.
Monitoring also the gateway and UPC anella allows us to estimate if the
whole network is down or just fox.

The fox machine will be placed in the UPC network, so we update the
configuration with the new IP and gateway. We won't be able to reach hut
directly so we also remove the host entry and proxy.

These sensors are part of their air quality measurements, which just
happen to be very close to our server room.

Allows us to track ambient temperature changes and estimate the
temperature delta between the server room and exterior temperature.
We should be able to predict when we would need to stop the machines due
to excesive temperature as summer approaches.

Allows us to see which derivations are being built in realtime. It is a
bit of a hack, but it seems to work. We simply look at the environment
of the child processes of nix-daemon (usually bash) and then look for
the $name variable which should hold the current derivation being
built. Needs root to be able to read the environ file of the different
nix-daemon processes as they are owned by the nixbld* users.

From the documentation of keep-outputs, setting it to true would prevent
the GC from removing build time dependencies:
If true, the garbage collector will keep the outputs of non-garbage
derivations. If false (default), outputs will be deleted unless they are
GC roots themselves (or reachable from other roots).
In general, outputs must be registered as roots separately. However,
even if the output of a derivation is registered as a root, the
collector will still delete store paths that are used only at build time
(e.g., the C compiler, or source tarballs downloaded from the network).
To prevent it from doing so, set this option to true.

Now that we have more space, we can extend the retention time to 5 years
to hold the monitoring metrics. For a year we have:
# du -sh /var/lib/prometheus2
13G /var/lib/prometheus2
So we can expect it to increase to about 65 GiB. In the future we may
want to reduce some adquisition frequency.

Prevents the "iptables: Chain already exists." error by making sure that
we don't leave any chain on start. The ideal solution is to use
iptables-restore instead, which will do the right job. But this needs to
be changed in NixOS entirely.
