to the members of the Unix group `redis-${serverName}`
through the Unix socket `/run/redis-${serverName}/redis.sock`.
- The option [virtualisation.vmVariant](#opt-virtualisation.vmVariant) was added
to allow users to make changes to the `nixos-rebuild build-vm` configuration
that do not apply to their normal system.
The `config.system.build.vm` attribute now always exists and defaults to the
value from `vmVariant`. Configurations that import the `virtualisation/qemu-vm.nix`
module themselves will override this value, such that `vmVariant` is not used.
Similarly [virtualisation.vmVariantWithBootloader](#opt-virtualisation.vmVariantWithBootLoader) was added.
- The `writers.writePyPy2`/`writers.writePyPy3` and corresponding `writers.writePyPy2Bin`/`writers.writePyPy3Bin` convenience functions to create executable Python 2/3 scripts using the PyPy interpreter were added.
