When no devices are given the exporter tries to autodiscover available
disks. The previous DevicePolicy was however preventing the exporter
from accessing any device at all, since only explicitly mentioned ones
were allowed.
This commit adds an allow rule for several device classes that I could
find on my machines, that gets set when no devices are explicitly
configured.
There is an existing problem with nvme devices, that expose a character
device at `/dev/nvme0`, and a (namespaced) block device at
`/dev/nvme0n1`. The character device does not come with permissions that
we could give to the exporter without further impacting the hardening.
crw------- 1 root root 247, 0 27. Jan 03:10 /dev/nvme0
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 259, 0 27. Jan 03:10 /dev/nvme0n1
The autodiscovery only finds the character device, which the exporter
unfortunately does not have access to.
However a simple udev rule can be used to resolve this:
services.udev.extraRules = ''
SUBSYSTEM=="nvme", KERNEL=="nvme[0-9]*", GROUP="disk"
'';
Unfortunately I'm not fully aware of the security implications this
change carries and we should question upstream (systemd) why they did
not include such a rule.
The disk group has no members on any of my machines.

some options have default that are best described in prose, such as
defaults that depend on the system stateVersion, defaults that are
derivations specific to the surrounding context, or those where the
expression is much longer and harder to understand than a simple text
snippet.
adds defaultText for all options that use `cfg.*` values in their
defaults, but only for interpolations with no extra processing (other
than toString where necessary)
While upgrading my NixOS system I was greeted by this error:
error:
Failed assertions:
- users.users.collectd.group is unset. This used to default to
nogroup, but this is unsafe. For example you can create a group
for this user with:
users.users.collectd.group = "collectd";
users.groups.collectd = {};
Let's fix it.
Otherwise, `postfix_up{path="/var/lib/postfix/queue/public/showq"}` will
always be `0` indicating an postfix outage because this is a unix domain
socket that cannot be connected to:
2021/12/03 14:50:46 Failed to scrape showq socket: dial unix /var/lib/postfix/queue/public/showq: socket: address family not supported by protocol
The option `services.prometheus.environmentFile` has been removed since it was causing [issues](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/126083) and Prometheus now has native support for secret files.
