Trimming is only done on supported devices (i.e. NVME or SSDs)

The <literal>dynamicHosts</literal> option has been removed from the

<link linkend="opt-networking.networkmanager.enable">NetworkManager</link>
|

module. Allowing (multiple) regular users to override host entries
|

affecting the whole system opens up a huge attack vector.
|

There seem to be very rare cases where this might be useful.
|

Consider setting system-wide host entries using
|

<link linkend="opt-networking.hosts">networking.hosts</link>, provide
|
||
them via the DNS server in your network, or use

<link linkend="opt-environment.etc">environment.etc</link>

Before, it itself used <literal>set -u</literal> but was careful to unset it so other packages' code ran as before.

Now, all bash code is held to the same high standard, and the rather complex stateful manipulation of the options can be discarded.

For NixOS configuration options, the <literal>loaOf</literal> type has
|
||
been deprecated and will be removed in a future release. In nixpkgs,
|
||
options of this type will be changed to <literal>attrsOf</literal>
|
||
instead. If you were using one of these in your configuration, you will
|

see a warning suggesting what changes will be required.

For example, <link linkend="opt-users.users">users.users</link> is a

users.users =
|

[ { name = "me";
|
||
description = "My personal user.";
|
||
isNormalUser = true;
|
||
}
|
||
];
|
||
</programlisting>
|
||
This should be rewritten by removing the list and using the
|
||
value of <literal>name</literal> as the name of the attribute set:
|
||
<programlisting>
|
||
users.users.me =
|
||
{ description = "My personal user.";
|
||
isNormalUser = true;
|
||
};

For NixOS modules, the types <literal>types.submodule</literal> and <literal>types.submoduleWith</literal> now support
|

paths as allowed values, similar to how <literal>imports</literal> supports paths.
|

Because of this, if you have a module that defines an option of type
|
||
<literal>either (submodule ...) path</literal>, it will break since a path

The <option>services.xserver.displayManager.auto</option> module has been removed.
|
||
It was only intended for use in internal NixOS tests, and gave the false impression
|
||
of it being a special display manager when it's actually LightDM.
|
||
Please use the <xref linkend="opt-services.xserver.displayManager.lightdm.autoLogin"/> options instead,
|
||
or any other display manager in NixOS as they all support auto-login. If you used this module specifically
|
||
because it permitted root auto-login you can override the lightdm-autologin pam module like:
|
||
<programlisting>
|
||
<link xlink:href="#opt-security.pam.services._name__.text">security.pam.services.lightdm-autologin.text</link> = lib.mkForce ''
|
||
auth requisite pam_nologin.so
|
||
auth required pam_succeed_if.so quiet
|
||
auth required pam_permit.so
|
||
|
||
account include lightdm
|
||
|
||
password include lightdm
|
||
|
||
session include lightdm
|
||
'';
|
||
</programlisting>
|
||
The difference is the:
|
||
<programlisting>
|
||
auth required pam_succeed_if.so quiet
|
||
</programlisting>
|
||
line, where default it's:
|
||
<programlisting>
|
||
auth required pam_succeed_if.so uid >= 1000 quiet
|
||
</programlisting>
|
||
not permitting users with uid's below 1000 (like root).
|
||
All other display managers in NixOS are configured like this.

There have been lots of improvements to the Mailman module. As

<para>
|

The <option>services.mailman.hyperkittyApiKey</option>
|
||
option has been removed. This is because having an option
|
||
for the Hyperkitty API key meant that the API key would be
|
||
stored in the world-readable Nix store, which was a
|
||
security vulnerability. A new Hyperkitty API key will be
|
||
generated the first time the new Hyperkitty service is run,
|
||
and it will then be persisted outside of the Nix store. To
|
||
continue using Hyperkitty, you must set <xref
|
||
linkend="opt-services.mailman.hyperkitty.enable"/> to
|
||
<literal>true</literal>.
|

</para>

</listitem>

|
||
Additionally, some Postfix configuration must now be set
|
||
manually instead of automatically by the Mailman module:
|
||
<programlisting>
|
||
<xref linkend="opt-services.postfix.relayDomains"/> = [ "hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/postfix_domains" ];
|
||
<xref linkend="opt-services.postfix.config"/>.transport_maps = [ "hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/postfix_lmtp" ];
|
||
<xref linkend="opt-services.postfix.config"/>.local_recipient_maps = [ "hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/postfix_lmtp" ];
|
||
</programlisting>
|
||
This is because some users may want to include other values
|
||
in these lists as well, and this was not possible if they
|
||
were set automatically by the Mailman module. It would not
|
||
have been possible to just concatenate values from multiple
|
||
modules each setting the values they needed, because the
|
||
order of elements in the list is significant.

The nginx web server previously started its master process as root

privileged, then ran worker processes as a less privileged identity user.

This was changed to start all of nginx as a less privileged user (defined by

<literal>services.nginx.user</literal> and
|
||
<literal>services.nginx.group</literal>). As a consequence, all files that
|

are needed for nginx to run (included configuration fragments, SSL

certificates and keys, etc.) must now be readable by this less privileged

user/group.

The ACME module has switched from simp-le to <link xlink:href="https://github.com/go-acme/lego">lego</link>

<link linkend="opt-security.acme.certs">security.acme.certs.<name>.dnsProvider</link>,

|
||
<literal>security.acme.email</literal> or <literal>security.acme.certs.<name>.email</literal>

must be set in order to use the ACME module.
|
||
Certificates will be regenerated anew on the next renewal date. The credentials for simp-le are
|
||
preserved and thus it is possible to roll back to previous versions without breaking certificate
|
||
generation.
