We've updated to Xfce 4.14, which brings a new module <option>services.xserver.desktopManager.xfce4-14</option>.
|
|
If you'd like to upgrade, please switch from the <option>services.xserver.desktopManager.xfce</option> module as it
|
|
will be deprecated in a future release. They're incompatibilities with the current Xfce module; it doesn't support
|
|
<option>thunarPlugins</option> and it isn't recommended to use <option>services.xserver.desktopManager.xfce</option>
|
|
and <option>services.xserver.desktopManager.xfce4-14</option> simultaneously or to downgrade from Xfce 4.14 after upgrading.

PostgreSQL now uses

<filename class="directory">/run/postgresql</filename> as its socket
|
|
directory instead of <filename class="directory">/tmp</filename>. So
|
|
if you run an application like eg. Nextcloud, where you need to use
|
|
the Unix socket path as the database host name, you need to change it

|
accordingly.

The options <option>services.prometheus.alertmanager.user</option> and

IPv6 Privacy Extensions are now enabled by default for undeclared

interfaces. The previous behaviour was quite misleading — even though

the default value for

<option>networking.interfaces.*.preferTempAddress</option> was
|
|
<literal>true</literal>, undeclared interfaces would not prefer temporary

addresses. Now, interfaces not mentioned in the config will prefer

temporary addresses. EUI64 addresses can still be set as preferred by

explicitly setting the option to <literal>false</literal> for the

interface in question.

The <option>security.acme.directory</option> option has been replaced by a read-only <option>security.acme.certs.<cert>.directory</option> option for each certificate you define. This will be
|
|
a subdirectory of <literal>/var/lib/acme</literal>. You can use this read-only option to figure out where the certificates are stored for a specific certificate. For example,
|
|
the <option>services.nginx.virtualhosts.<name>.enableACME</option> option will use this directory option to find the certs for the virtual host.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
<option>security.acme.preDelay</option> and <option>security.acme.activationDelay</option> options have been removed. To execute a service before certificates
|
|
are provisioned or renewed add a <literal>RequiredBy=acme-${cert}.service</literal> to any service.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Furthermore, the acme module will not automatically add a dependency on <literal>lighttpd.service</literal> anymore. If you are using certficates provided by letsencrypt
|
|
for lighttpd, then you should depend on the certificate service <literal>acme-${cert}.service></literal> manually.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
For nginx, the dependencies are still automatically managed when <option>services.nginx.virtualhosts.<name>.enableACME</option> is enabled just like before. What changed is that nginx now directly depends on the specific certificates that it needs,
|
|
instead of depending on the catch-all <literal>acme-certificates.target</literal>. This target unit was also removed from the codebase.
|
|
This will mean nginx will no longer depend on certificates it isn't explicitly managing and fixes a bug with certificate renewal
|
|
ordering racing with nginx restarting which could lead to nginx getting in a broken state as described at
|
|

With the upgrade to systemd version 242 the <literal>systemd-timesyncd</literal>
|
|
service is no longer using <literal>DynamicUser=yes</literal>. In order for the
|
|
upgrade to work we rely on an activation script to move the state from the old
|
|
to the new directory. The older directory (prior <literal>19.09</literal>) was
|
|
<literal>/var/lib/private/systemd/timesync</literal>.

As long as the <literal>system.config.stateVersion</literal> is below
|
|
<literal>19.09</literal> the state folder will migrated to its proper location
|
|
(<literal>/var/lib/systemd/timesync</literal>), if required.

The package <literal>avahi</literal> is now built to look up service
|
|
definitions from <literal>/etc/avahi/services</literal> instead of its
|
|
output directory in the nix store. Accordingly the module
|
|
<option>avahi</option> now supports custom service definitions via
|
|
<option>services.avahi.extraServiceFiles</option>, which are then placed
|
|
in the aforementioned directory. See <citerefentry>
|
|
<refentrytitle>avahi.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum>
|
|
</citerefentry> for more information on custom service definitions.

Since version 0.1.19, <literal>cargo-vendor</literal> honors package
|
|
includes that are specified in the <filename>Cargo.toml</filename>
|
|
file of Rust crates. <literal>rustPlatform.buildRustPackage</literal> uses
|
|
<literal>cargo-vendor</literal> to collect and build dependent crates.
|
|
Since this change in <literal>cargo-vendor</literal> changes the set of
|
|
vendored files for most Rust packages, the hash that use used to verify
|
|
the dependencies, <literal>cargoSha256</literal>, also changes.

change. However, third-party derivations that use

|
<literal>buildRustPackage</literal> may have to be updated as well.

The default resample-method for PulseAudio has been changed from the upstream default <literal>speex-float-1</literal>

It's now possible to change configuration in

<link linkend="opt-services.nextcloud.enable">services.nextcloud</link> after the initial deploy

There exists now <literal>lib.forEach</literal>, which is like <literal>map</literal>, but with

arguments flipped. When mapping function body spans many lines (or has nested

Previous solution to this problem was either to use <literal>lib.flip map</literal>

idiom or extract that anonymous mapping function to a named one. Both can still be used
