Other popular distros (OpenSuse, Ubuntu, Gentoo, Arch) read $HOME/.profile when starting X11 display managers.
When moving to nixOS, that is then broken leading to unpredictable behavior (probably programs not working).
This adds similar behavior to https://github.com/sddm/sddm/blob/develop/data/scripts/Xsession

The `runsvc.sh` script wraps a JavaScript script which starts
`Runner.Listener` and also handles failures. This has the downside that
the service _always_ exits with status code 0, i.e., success. This
causes frequent service restarts when running in ephemeral mode with a
faulty config as Systemd always sees a success exit status. To prevent
this, this commit changes the service config to call `Runner.Listener`
directly. The JavaScript wrapper stops the process with a SIGINT, hence,
the Systemd unit now sends a SIGINT to stop the service.
Adds the module option `ephemeral`. If set to true, configures the
runner registration with the `--ephemeral` option. This causes the
runner to exit after processing a single job, to de-register itself, and
to delete its configuration. Afterward, systemd restarts the service
which triggers a new ephemeral registration with a clean state.
This commit introduces support for runner registrations through a
personal access token (PAT). To use a PAT instead of a registration
token, place an appropriately scoped PAT in `tokenFile`. If the file
contains a PAT, the configuration script queries a new runner
registration token. Using a runner registration token directly continues
to work as before.
Using the runtime directory as `RUNNER_ROOT` is wrong. We should always
use the state directory like we already do when invoking the runner
configure script. Otherwise, the runner constructs the wrong path for
some files (.credentials, .runner, ...).
This is to ensure the targets are stopped when nscd is stopped to
prevent races on switch. Example interaction: nscd is stopped, some
service that requires nss-user-lookup.target is restarted. Without this
PR, nss-user-lookup.target would still be active, hence the service
would start without nscd running.
Plausible fails on start because clickhouse is not ready,
when clickhouse has low CPU available, eg.
```nix
{systemd.services.clickhouse.serviceConfig.CPUWeight = 20;}
```
Fixed with
```nix
{systemd.services.plausible.after = [ "clickhouse.service" ];}
```
This was enabled by default in 18a7ce76fc
with the reason that it would be "useful regardless of the desktop
environment.", which I'm not arguing against.
The reason why this should not be enabled by default is that there are a
lot of systems that NixOS runs on that are not desktop systems.
Users on such systems most likely do not want or need this feature and
could even consider this an antifeature.
Furthermore, it is surprising to them to find out that they have this
enabled on their systems.
They might be even more surprised to find that they have polkit enabled
by default, which was a default that was flipped in
a813be071c. For some discussion as to why
see https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/156858.
Evidently, this default is not only surprising to users, but also module
developers, as most if not all modules for desktop environments already
explicity set services.udisks2.enable = true; which they don't need to
right now.
Currently, it is not possible to supply sensitive credentials like
`ldap_default_authtok` without writing them to the nix store. This
This commit introduces a new option `environmentFile` where those
credentials can be supplied via environment substitution.
commit 0507725061 ("setup-hooks/strip.sh: run RANLIB on static
archives after stripping") added an extra argument to `stripDirs()`
helper.
I did not realize it's used outside the strip hook itself. Restore
stripping by passing $RANLIB as a new argument.
...if cfgExpandOnBoot == "all", otherwise it fails during runtime:

This commit prevents warning messages like
```
systemd-fstab-generator: Checking was requested for "/path/to/device", but it is not a device.
```
in `dmesg` when one of the filesystems 9p, cifs, prl_fs or vmhgfs is added to the list of `fileSystems`.
This happens because the generated /etc/fstab entry contains a non-zero fsck pass number, which doesn't make sense for these filesystems.
- improve some descriptions
- device -> devices
- add options
- extraArgs
- port
- create a symlink in RUNTIME_DIRECTORY
- grant it read permission of /dev/uinput
- relax network-related restrictions when port is used
- change type of some hardening options to list to align with systemd
- CapabilityBoundingSet
- IPAddressDeny
- SystemCallArchitectures
now nix-doc-munge will not introduce whitespace changes when it replaces
manpage references with the MD equivalent.
no change to the manpage, changes to the HTML manual are whitespace only.
A warning regarding enabling NixOS containers and
virtualisation.containers at the same time with state versions < 22.05
had been added in commit 3c49151f15. But
this warning had accidentally been defined in the wrong place, and the
warning has therefore not actually been in effect. This commit fixes
that.
Upstream XMonad was using our xmonad patch file for their flake build to
support our nixos module. This would of course break the build upstream
if the version we patched and their master branch diverged. We
[discussed] that it'd make sense to upstream the environment var code.
In the process it seemed sensible to rename the NIX_GHC variable as
well, since it isn't really Nix-specific – it's just a way to set the
GHC binary to execute. This change has been [implemented] upstream in an
unreleased version of xmonad now – meaning we'll be able to drop the
xmonad patch soon!
This also clarifies the situation in nixpkgs a bit: NIX_GHC is easy to
confuse with the environment variable used in the ghcWithPackages
wrapper where it is used to set an alternative prefix for a GHC-wrapper
for applications trying to discover it via e.g. ghc-paths. It is an
implementation detail in this context, as it is in the case of the
xmonad module. Since they are different implementations doing different
things, different names also make sense.
