The implicit behavior of pulling it out of the classpath seemed not
to work properly and could be thrown off by other things on the
classpath also providing the properties file. This guarantees that
our settings stick.
This is deliberate because using the taskd binary to configure
Taskserver has a good chance of messing up permissions.
The nixos-taskserver tool now can manage even manual configurations, so
there really is no need anymore to expose the taskd binary.
If people still want to use the taskd binary at their own risk they can
still add taskserver to systemPackages themselves.

Putting an include directive in the configuration file referencing a
store path with the real configuration file has the disavantage that
once we change the real configuration file the store path is also a
different one.
So we would have to replace that include directive with the new
configuration file, which is very much error-prone, because whenever
taskd modifies the configuration file on its own it generates a new one
with *only* the key/value options and without any include directives.
Another problem is that we only added the include directive on the first
initalization, so whenever there is *any* configuration change, it won't
affect anything.
We're now passing all the configuration options via command line,
because taskd treats everything in the form of --<name>=<value> to be a
configuration directive.
This also has the effect that we now no longer have extraConfig, because
configuration isn't a file anymore.
Instead we now have an attribute set that is mapped down to
configuration options.
Unfortunately this isn't so easy with the way taskd is configured,
because there is an option called "server" and also other options like
"server.cert", "server.key" and so on, which do not map very well to
attribute sets.
So we have an exception for the "server" option, which is now called
"server.listen", because it specifies the listening address.

The helper tool so far was only intended for use in automatic PKI
handling, but it also is very useful if you have an existing CA.
One of the main advantages is that you don't need to specify the data
directory anymore and the right permissions are also handled as well.
Another advantage is that we now have an uniform management tool for
both automatic and manual config, so the documentation in the NixOS
manual now applies to the manual PKI config as well.

The error message displays that a specific user doesn't exist in an
organisation, but uses the User object's name attribute to show which
user it was.
This is basically a very stupid chicken and egg problem and easily fixed
by using the user name provided on the command line.

The GeoIP databases from MaxMind have no stable URLs and change every
month (or so). Our current method of packaging these database in Nix and
playing catch-up with ever-changing file hashes is a bad idea. For
instance, it makes it impossible to realize old NixOS configurations.
This patch adds a NixOS service that periodically updates the GeoIP
databases in /var/lib/geoip-databases. Moving NixOS modules over can be
done in later patches.
I tried adding MD5 check, but not all databases have them, so i skipped
it. We are downloading over HTTPS though, it should be good. I also
tried adding zip support, but the first zip file I extracted had a
different filename inside than the archive name, which breaks an
assumption in this service, so I skipped that too.
Changes v9 -> v10:
- Pass "--max-time" to curl to set upper bound on downloads (ensures
no indefinite hanging if there's problem with networking).
Timeout for network connectivity check: 60s.
Timeout for geoip database (each): 15m.
Changes v8 -> v9:
- Mention the random timer delay in the documentation for the
'interval' option.
Changes v7 -> v8:
- Add "RemainAfterExit=true" for the setup service, so it won't be
restarted needlessly. (Thanks @danbst!)
Changes v6 -> v7:
- Add --skip-existing flag to geoip-updater, which skips updating
existing database files. Pass that flag when we run the service on
boot (and on any NixOS configuration change).
(IMHO, this is somewhat a workaround for systemd persistent timers
not being triggered immediately when a timer has never expired
before. But it does have the nice side effect of ensuring that the
installed databases always correspond to the configured ones, since
the service is now always run after configuration changes.)
Changes v5 -> v6:
- Update database files atomically (per DB)
- If a database is removed from the configuration, it'll be removed
from /var/lib/geoip-databases too (on next run).
- Add NixOS module assertion so that if user inputs non- .gz or .xz
file there will be a build time error instead of runtime.
- Run updater as user "nobody" instead of "root".
- Rename NixOS service from "geoip-databases" to "geoip-updater".
- Drop RemainAfterExit, or else the timer won't trigger the unit.
- Bring back "curl --fail", or else we won't catch and log curl
failures.
Changes v4 -> v5:
- Add "GeoLite2-City.mmdb.gz" to default database list.
Changes v3 -> v4:
- Remove unneeded geoip-updater-setup.service after adding
'wantedBy = [ "multi-user.target" ]' directly to
geoip-updater.service
- Drop unneeded "Service" name from service descriptions.
Changes v2 -> v3:
- Network may be down when starting from a cold boot, so try a few
times. Possibly, if using systemd-networkd, it'll pass on the first
try. But with default DHCP on NixOS, the service is started before
hostnames can be resolved and thus we need a few extra seconds.
- Add error handling and mark service as failed if fatal error.
- Add proper syslog log levels.
- Add RandomizedDelaySec=3600 to the timer to not put high load on the
MaxMind servers. Suggested by @Mic92.
- Set RemainAfterExit on geoip-updater.service instead of
geoip-updater-setup.service. (The latter is only a proxy that pulls
in the former service).
Changes v1 -> v2:
From Данило Глинський (Danylo Hlynskyi) <abcz2.uprola@gmail.com>:
nixos/geoip-databases: add `databases` option and fix initial setup
There were two great issues when using this service:
- When you just enable service, databases aren't downloaded, they are
downloaded when timer triggers. Fixed this with automatic download on
first system activation.
- When there is no internet, updater outputs nothing to logs, which is
IMO misbehavior. Fixed this with removing `--fail` option, better be
explicit here.
Pushing to gogs only works if the `gogs` user's shell is `bash`. For error and
solution, refer to [this SO thread](http://stackoverflow.com/a/22315659)
A default of 0 means that if you deploy two NixOS boxes with the default
configuration, the second will fail because the brokerId was already in
use. Using -1 instead tells it to pick one automatically at first start.

Closes#21150
Using the example before this commit resulted in the following error:
```
error: value is a string while a list was expected, at /nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixos/nixpkgs/nixos/modules/services/misc/nix-daemon.nix:349:37
```
The matrix-synapse user has `createHome = true;` which runs before the
`preStart` script, so the home directory will always exist and the block
will never execute.
Also don't include default path to keys in the configuration file,
because synapse will choke if it tries to open them before they
exist (even with `--generate-keys`).
