It's been 8.5 years since NixOS used mingetty, but the option was
never renamed (despite the file definining the module being renamed in
9f5051b76c ("Rename mingetty module to agetty")).
I've chosen to rename it to services.getty here, rather than
services.agetty, because getty is implemantation-neutral and also the
name of the unit that is generated.
Previously the .enable option was used to encode the condition as well,
which lead to some oddness:
- In order to encode an assertion, one had to invert it
- To disable a check, one had to mkForce it
By introducing a separate .check option this is solved because:
- It can be used to encode assertions
- Disabling is done separately with .enable option, whose default can be
overridden without a mkForce
Previously this option was thought to be necessary to avoid infinite
recursion, but it actually isn't, since the check evaluation isn't fed
back into the module fixed-point.
The old slapd.conf is deprecated. Replace with slapd.d, and use this
opportunity to write some structured settings.
Incidentally, this fixes the fact that openldap is reported up before
any checks have completed, by using forking mode.
This is to ensure that whenever we install the desktop item we also have
the script installed. Prior to b02719a we always had the reference to
the script in the desktop item. Since desktop items are being copied to
home directories and thus "bit rod" over time that absolute path was
removed.
Previously the NixOS-specific configuration for man-db was in the
package itself and /etc/man.conf was completely ignored.
This change moves it to /etc/man_db.conf, making declarative
configuration practical again.
It's now possible to generate the mandb caches for all packages
installed through NixOS `environment.systemPackages` at build-time.
The standard location for the stateful cache (/var/cache/man) is also
configured to allow users to run `mandb` manually if they wish.
Since generating the cache can be expensive the option is off by
default.
Make it clear that the warning is that updatedb will run as root, not
that locate will only run as root. Also explain how to silence the
warning.
Fixes#30864.

Running the manual on a TTY is useless in the graphical ISOs and not
particularly useful in non-graphical ISOs (since you can also run
'nixos-help').
Fixes#83157.
* nixos/nixpkgs.nix: Allow just using config in system
This assertion requires system to work properly. We might not have
this in cases where the user just sets config and wants Nixpkgs to
infer system from that. This adds a default for when this happens,
using doubleFromSystem.
* parens
Running haproxy with "DynamicUser = true" doesn't really work, since
it prohibits specifying a TLS certificate bundle with limited
permissions. This revives the haproxy user and group, but makes them
dynamically allocated by NixOS, rather than statically allocated. It
also adds options to specify which user and group haproxy runs as.
This avoids a possible surprise if the user is using `nixpkgs.system`
and `nesting.children`. `nesting.children` is expected to ignore all
parent configuration so we shouldn't propagate the user-facing option
`nixpkgs.system`. To avoid doing so, we introduce a new internal
option for holding the value passed to eval-config.nix, and use that
when recursing for nesting.
This leads to inconsistent results between local builds and
Hydra. Also Nix is not a general purpose language, we shouldn't be
parsing .git from inside Nix code.
"master" is not a valid SHA-1 commit hash, and it's not even
necessarily the branch used. 'nixos-version --revision' now returns an
error if the commit hash is not known.
In 87a19e9048 I merged staging-next into master using the GitHub gui as intended.
In ac241fb7a5 I merged master into staging-next for the next staging cycle, however, I accidentally pushed it to master.
Thinking this may cause trouble, I reverted it in 0be87c7979. This was however wrong, as it "removed" master.
This reverts commit 0be87c7979.
I merged master into staging-next but accidentally pushed it to master.
This should get us back to 87a19e9048.

Minor incompatibilities due to moving to upstream defaults:
- capabilities are used instead of systemd.socket units
- the control socket moved:
/run/kresd/control -> /run/knot-resolver/control/1
- cacheDir moved and isn't configurable anymore
- different user+group names, without static IDs
Thanks Mic92 for multiple ideas.
Before c9214c394b and
9d396d2e42 if .git is symlink the version
would gracefully default to no git revision. With those changes an
exception is thrown instead.
This introduces a new function `pathIsGitRepo` that checks if
`commitIdFromGitRepo` fails without error so we don't have to
reimplement this logic again and can fail gracefully.
lib.commitIdFromGitRepo now resolves the refs from the
parent repository in case the supplied path is a file
containing the path to said repository. this adds support
for git-worktree and things alike. see gitrepository-layout(5).
this also:
- adds a new boolean function lib.pathIsRegularFile to
check whether a path is a regular file
- patches lib.revisionWithDefault and
the revision and versionSuffix attributes in
config.system.nixos in order to support git-worktrees
A centralized list for these renames is not good because:
- It breaks disabledModules for modules that have a rename defined
- Adding/removing renames for a module means having to find them in the
central file
- Merge conflicts due to multiple people editing the central file
Any system uid will do, so we let the system allocate
one for us. The 'mailman' group is gone entirely since
we don't need it. Users who wish to run the 'mailman'
administration utility can do so via 'sudo':
$ sudo -u mailman mailman info
Also, simplify the syntax of our user.users entry to
rely on an attribute set rather than a list.
Using "builtins.currentSystem" doesn't work in pure evaluation mode,
and even when it's explicitly set (which it always is, in
nixos/lib/eval-config.nix), it breaks manual generation because the
manual tries to render the default value.
It is referenced in various places, but does not work out of the box:
$ nixos-help
/run/current-system/sw/bin/nixos-help: unable to start a web browser; please set $BROWSER
In the user-hidden fallbacks to xdg-open(1) and w3m(1), `nixos-help`
expects tools to be deliberately installed by users.
For default installations and new users in general, this is unlikely to
be the case. Conversely, chances to use `nixos-help` are even higher
in such cases.
Use w3m-nographics by default to ensure documentation is always
available. The documentation browser on ttyS8 already does so, but is
not accessible in every installation, e.g. VMs with only ttyS0 and SSH
available.
This obsoletes including it in the base profile's systemPackages,
so remove the @TODO as done.
The autoLuks module is not really compatible with the updated systemd
version anymore. We started dropping NixOS specific patches that caused
unwanted side effects that we had to work around otherwise.
This change points users towards the relevant PR and spits out a bit of
information on how to deal with the situation.
Remove the btsync module. Bittorrent Sync was renamed to Resilio Sync in
2016, which is supported by the resilio module. Since Resilio Sync had
some security updates since 2016, it is not safe to run Bittorrent Sync
anymore.
I was pointed towards a small syntax error in the `nixpkgs.overlays`
documentation. There was a trailing semicolon after the overlay
function.
I also aligned the code a bit better so opening and closing brackets can
be visually matched much better (IMO).
Before this change `man 5 configuration.nix` would only show options of modules in
the `baseModules` set, which consists only of the list of modules in
`nixos/modules/module-list.nix`
With this change applied and `documentation.nixos.includeAllModules` option enabled
all modules included in `configuration.nix` file will be used instead.
This makes configurations with custom modules self-documenting. It also means
that importing non-`baseModules` modules like `gce.nix` or `azure.nix`
will make their documentation available in `man 5 configuration.nix`.
`documentation.nixos.includeAllModules` is currently set to `false` by
default as enabling it usually uncovers bugs and prevents evaluation.
It should be set to `true` in a release or two.
This was originally implemented in #47177, edited for more configurability,
documented and rebased onto master by @oxij.
This installs the kio "man:" protocol handler, which fixes the UNIX manual
section in the KDE Help Center.
Note that kde currently parses "/etc/man.conf" manually, if `$MANPATH` is not
set, to build its man page index. (if https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=404022
is addressed, the "/etc/man.conf" symlink should not be necessary anymore)
This also includes a full end-to-end CockroachDB clustering test to
ensure everything basically works. However, this test is not currently
enabled by default, though it can be run manually. See the included
comments in the test for more information.
Closes#51306. Closes#38665.

* run as user 'slurm' per default instead of root
* add user/group slurm to ids.nix
* fix default location for the state dir of slurmctld:
(/var/spool -> /var/spool/slurmctld)
* Update release notes with the above changes
This reverts commit 10addad603, reversing
changes made to 7786575c6c.
NixOS scripts should be kept in the NixOS source tree, not in
pkgs. Moving them around is just confusing and creates unnecessary
code/history churn.
This commit adds the following
* the uucp user
* options for HylaFAX server to control startup and modems
* systemd services for HylaFAX server processes
including faxgettys for modems
* systemd services to maintain the HylaFAX spool area,
including cleanup with faxcron and faxqclean
* default configuration for all server processes
for a minimal working configuration
Some notes:
* HylaFAX configuration cannot be initialized with faxsetup
(as it would be common on other Linux distributions).
The hylafaxplus package contains a template spool area.
* Modems are controlled by faxgetty.
Send-only configuration (modems controlled by faxq)
is not supported by this configuration setup.
* To enable the service, one or more modems must be defined with
config.services.hylafax.modems .
* Sending mail *should* work:
HylaFAX will use whatever is in
config.services.mail.sendmailSetuidWrapper.program
unless overridden with the sendmailPath option.
* The admin has to create a hosts.hfaxd file somewhere
(e.g. in /etc) before enabling HylaFAX.
This file controls access to the server (see hosts.hfaxd(5) ).
Sadly, HylaFAX does not permit account-based access
control as is accepts connections via TCP only.
* Active fax polling should work; I can't test it.
* Passive fax polling is not supported by HylaFAX.
* Pager transmissions (with sendpage) are disabled by default.
I have never tested or used these.
* Incoming data/voice/"extern"al calls
won't be handled by default.
I have never tested or used these.
Take two of #40708 (4fe2898608).
That PR attempted to bidirectionally default `config.nixpkgs.system` and
`config.nixpkgs.localSystem.system` to each be updated by the other. But
this is not possible with the way the module system works. Divergence in
certain cases in inevitable.
This PR is more conservative and just has `system` default `localSystem`
and `localSystem` make the final call as-is. This solves a number of
issues.
- `localSystem` completely overrides `system`, just like with nixpkgs
proper. There is no need to specify `localSystem.system` to clobber the
old system.
- `config.nixpkgs.localSystem` is exactly what is passed to nixpkgs. No
spooky steps.
- `config.nixpkgs.localSystem` is elaborated just as nixpkgs would so
that all attributes are available, not just the ones the user
specified.
The remaining issue is just that `config.nixpkgs.system` doesn't update
based on `config.nixpkgs.localSystem.system`. It should never be
referred to lest it is a bogus stale value because
`config.nixpkgs.localSystem` overwrites it.
Fixes#46320
- based on module originally written by @srhb
- complies with available options in cfssl v1.3.2
- uid and gid 299 reserved in ids.nix
- added simple nixos test case
This reverts commit 095fe5b43d.
Pointless renames considered harmful. All they do is force people to
spend extra work updating their configs for no benefit, and hindering
the ability to switch between unstable and stable versions of NixOS.
Like, what was the value of having the "nixos." there? I mean, by
definition anything in a NixOS module has something to do with NixOS...
