TensorFlow unstable & not installing after update

Hi,
I managed to install TensorFlow a while ago (my configuration below)

let
  # Custom Python package with all the (Python) imports I need
  my-python-packages = python-packages: with python-packages; [
    tensorflow
    keras
   ...
  ]; 
  python-with-my-packages = pkgs.unstable.python3.withPackages my-python-packages;
  #python-with-my-packages = pkgs.python3.withPackages my-python-packages;
in
{
  # to try making tensorflow work
  hardware.opengl.setLdLibraryPath = true;
  
  environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
    python-with-my-packages
    ...
   ];
   ...
}

…but a recent sudo nixos-rebuild switch refuses to evaluate:

error: Package ‘python3.10-tensorflow-2.11.0’ in /nix/store/qw9nnl2wmvx0ad0f9aqvdbw5cl5mirvc-source/pkgs/development/python-modules/tensorflow/default.nix:445 is marked as insecure, refusing to evaluate.

       You can install it anyway by allowing this package, using the
       following methods:

       a) To temporarily allow all insecure packages, you can use an environment
          variable for a single invocation of the nix tools:

            $ export NIXPKGS_ALLOW_INSECURE=1

        Note: For `nix shell`, `nix build`, `nix develop` or any other Nix 2.4+
        (Flake) command, `--impure` must be passed in order to read this
        environment variable.

       b) for `nixos-rebuild` you can add ‘python3.10-tensorflow-2.11.0’ to
          `nixpkgs.config.permittedInsecurePackages` in the configuration.nix,
          like so:

            {
              nixpkgs.config.permittedInsecurePackages = [
                "python3.10-tensorflow-2.11.0"
              ];
            }

       c) For `nix-env`, `nix-build`, `nix-shell` or any other Nix command you can add
          ‘python3.10-tensorflow-2.11.0’ to `permittedInsecurePackages` in
          ~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix, like so:

            {
              permittedInsecurePackages = [
                "python3.10-tensorflow-2.11.0"
              ];
            }
(use '--show-trace' to show detailed location information)

I tried option b) but does not work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated :slight_smile:

Hi! Tensorflow has been marked insecure because it’s lagging behind upstream, which has addressed a number of CVEs in their recent releases: python310Packages.tensorflow: mark insecure by dotlambda · Pull Request #224436 · NixOS/nixpkgs · GitHub

We’re tracking the issue here: Update request: python310Packages.tensorflow 2.10.1 → 2.12.0 · Issue #224353 · NixOS/nixpkgs · GitHub

And there’s been intermediate progress which likely alleviates this issue and needs to be reviewed: python3Packages.tensorflow: 2.11.0 -> 2.11.1 by risicle · Pull Request #224846 · NixOS/nixpkgs · GitHub

I tried option b) but does not work.

This however is unexpected. Tensorflow is supposed to be still buildable, only that there won’t be any public cache available. What kind of error do you get?

I tried with the option --show-trace and I got a ton of messages which I cannot really understand:

Option a) also gives a similar result

Oh! This is because tensorflow actually consists of two nix derivations, one is the native Bazel build which produces a wheel, and another is the python install that consumes the wheel

              nixpkgs.config.permittedInsecurePackages = [
                "python3.10-tensorflow-2.11.0"
                "tensorflow-2.11.0"
              ];

P.S. These builds are going to be expensive…

This only works in the impure evaluation mode, e.g. nix-build or nix build --impure

Actually, three:

 nixpkgs.config.permittedInsecurePackages = [
    "python3.10-tensorflow-2.11.0"
    "tensorflow-2.11.0"
    "tensorflow-2.11.0-deps.tar.gz"
  ];

But I understood the mechanism from your reply and corrected accordingly following the new error message.

Thenk you very much, problem solved & tensorflow working!
