Buildbot no longer supports Python 2, as support was dropped upstream in
|
|
version 2.0.0. Configurations may need to be modified to make them

compatible with Python 3.

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
|
|
<option>services.prometheus.alertmanager.group</option> have been removed
|
|
because the alertmanager service is now using systemd's <link
|
|
xlink:href="http://0pointer.net/blog/dynamic-users-with-systemd.html">
|
|
DynamicUser mechanism</link> which obviates these options.

The NetworkManager systemd unit was renamed back from network-manager.service to
|
|
NetworkManager.service for better compatibility with other applications expecting this name.
|
|
The same applies to ModemManager where modem-manager.service is now called ModemManager.service again.

The <option>services.nzbget.configFile</option> and <option>services.nzbget.openFirewall</option>
|
|
options were removed as they are managed internally by the nzbget. The
|
|
<option>services.nzbget.dataDir</option> option hadn't actually been used by
|
|
the module for some time and so was removed as cleanup.

The <option>services.mysql.pidDir</option> option was removed, as it was only used by the wordpress
|
|
apache-httpd service to wait for mysql to have started up.
|
|
This can be accomplished by either describing a dependency on mysql.service (preferred)
|
|
or waiting for the (hardcoded) <filename>/run/mysqld/mysql.sock</filename> file to appear.

with our systemd version without manual intervention.

|

A new knob named <literal>nixops.enableDeprecatedAutoLuks</literal>

has been introduced to disable the eval failure and to acknowledge the notice was received and read.

If you plan on using the feature please note that it might break with subsequent updates.

Make sure you set the <literal>_netdev</literal> option for each of the file systems referring to block

devices provided by the autoLuks module. Not doing this might render the system in a

state where it doesn't boot anymore.

The <option>documentation</option> module gained an option named

generated <citerefentry>

<refentrytitle>configuration.nix</refentrytitle>

<manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> manual page include all options
|
|
from all NixOS modules included in a given
|
|
<literal>configuration.nix</literal> configuration file. Currently, it is
|
|
set to <literal>false</literal> by default as enabling it frequently
|
|
prevents evaluation. But the plan is to eventually have it set to
|
|
<literal>true</literal> by default. Please set it to
|
|
<literal>true</literal> now in your <literal>configuration.nix</literal>
|
|
and fix all the bugs it uncovers.

The <literal>vlc</literal> package gained support for Chromecast

streaming, enabled by default. TCP port 8010 must be open for it to work,

|
so something like <literal>networking.firewall.allowedTCPPorts = [ 8010
|
|
];</literal> may be required in your configuration. Also consider enabling

The <literal>mysql</literal> service now runs as <literal>mysql</literal>

user. Previously, systemd did execute it as root, and mysql dropped privileges
|
|
itself.
|

This includes <literal>ExecStartPre=</literal> and
|
|
<literal>ExecStartPost=</literal> phases.

To accomplish that, runtime and data directory setup was delegated to

RuntimeDirectory and tmpfiles.

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>.

<para>
|

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.
