Note the appstoreEnable which will prevent nextcloud form updating
nix-managed apps. This is needed because nextcloud will store an other
version of the app in /var/lib/nextcloud/store-apps and it will
no longer be manageable.
Don't worry, it's is true by default. But I think this is important to
have because NixOS indeed shouldn't need Nix at run time when the
installation is not being modified, and now we can verify that.
NixOS images that cannot "self-modify" are a legitamate
use-case that this supports more minimally. One should be able to e.g. do a
sshfs mount and use `nixos-install` to modify them remotely, or just
discard them and build fresh ones if they are run VMs or something.
The next step would be to make generations optional, allowing just
baking `/etc` and friends rather than using activation scripts. But
that's more involved so I'm leaving it out.
The `$(</path/to/file)`-expansion appears verbatim in the cmdline of
`nextcloud-occ` which means that an unprivileged user could find
sensitive values (i.e. admin password & database password) by monitoring
`/proc/<pid>/cmdline`.
Now, these values don't appear in a command line anymore, but will be
passed as environment variables to `nextcloud-occ`.
* Linkify documentation about objectstore-feature rather than only
mentioning it.
* Use `<literal>` where it makes sense.
* Remove unnecessary `Whether to load` from `enableImagemagick` because
`mkEnableOption` already prepends `Whether to enable` to the given
description.
NixOS should be able to support the Nintendo Switch Pro controller for
steam and non-steam at the same time. Currently there are two mutually
exclusive ways to support the Pro Controller: Steam and `hid-nintendo`.
Unfortunately these don't work together, but there's a workaround in
newer versions of `joycond` (described [here](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Gamepad#Using_hid-nintendo_pro_controller_with_Steam_Games_(with_joycond))). To use this
workaround `hid-nintendo` and `joycond` need to be updated, and the
systemd and udev configuration needs to be made available in NixOS.
This is the first version of the mautrix-facebook module. Due to lack of secret support on NixOS as well as the requirement of a homeserver domain it requires some setup. For completeness here is my working config using NixOps secrets:
```nix
deployment.keys."mautrix-facebook-config.env" = {
text = ''
MAUTRIX_FACEBOOK_APPSERVICE_AS_TOKEN=${secrets.as_token}
MAUTRIX_FACEBOOK_APPSERVICE_HS_TOKEN=${secrets.hs_token}
'';
destDir = "/var/keys";
};
deployment.keys."mautrix-facebook-registration.yaml" = {
text = builtins.toJSON config.services.mautrix-facebook.registrationData;
destDir = "/var/keys";
user = "matrix-synapse";
};
users.users.matrix-synapse.extraGroups = ["keys"];
systemd.services.matrix-synapse.after = ["keys.service"];
systemd.services.matrix-synapse.wants = ["keys.service"];
services.mautrix-facebook = {
enable = true;
settings = {
homeserver.domain = "bots.kevincox.ca";
bridge = {
displayname_template = "{displayname}";
permissions = {
"@kevincox:matrix.org" = "admin";
};
};
};
environmentFile = "/var/keys/mautrix-facebook-config.env";
registrationData = {
as_token = secrets.as_token;
hs_token = secrets.hs_token;
};
};
systemd.services.mautrix-facebook = rec {
wants = ["keys.target"];
after = wants;
};
services.matrix-synapse.app_service_config_files = [
"/var/keys/mautrix-facebook-registration.yaml"
];
```
Previously, the `nix_read_pwd` function was only used for reading the
`dbpassFile`, however it has since been refactored to handle reading
other secret files too. This fixes the message of the exception that is
thrown in the case that the file is not present so that it no longer
refers specifically to the `dbpass` file.
Removes the submodule in favour of using an attrset.
Also:
- Makes better use of nix's laziness in config expansion.
- Makes use of `boolToString` where applicable.
We should discourage users from adding secrets in a way that allows for
them to end up in the globally readable `/nix/store`. Users should use
the `objectstore.s3.secretFile` option instead.
This allows to declaratively configure an S3 class object storage as the
primary storage for the nextcloud service. Previously, this could only
be achieved by manually editing the `config.php`.
I've started testing this today with my own digitalocean nextcloud
instance, which now points to my digitalocean S3-compatible "Space" and
all appears to be working smoothly.
My motivation for this change is my recent discovery of how much cheaper
some S3-compatible object storage options are compared to digitalocean's
"Volume" options.
Implementation follows the "Simple Storage Service" instructions here:
https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/configuration_files/primary_storage.html
I have neglected to implement a submodule for the OpenStack Swift
object storage as I don't personally have a use case for it or a method
to test it, however the new `nextcloud.objectstore.s3` submodule should
act as a useful guide for anyone who does wish to implement it.
