For in NixOS it is beneficial if both plasma5 and pam use the same Qt5
version. Because the plasma5 desktop may use a different version as the
default Qt5 version, we introduce plasma5Packages.
This corresponds to agetty's --login-options argument.
With this change, I can set
services.getty.autologinUser = "qyliss";
services.getty.loginOptions = "-- \\u";
and have my username prefilled, but with my password still
required (unlike the normal autologinUser behaviour).
b478e0043c removed every other instance of uwsgi.service and
httpd.service from Mailman before and requiredBy lists. This one
looks like it was just missed, since I can't see a reason to keep it
but remove the others.
Fixes: b478e0043c ("nixos/mailman: refactor")
* It should be made explicit in the eval-error that the CVE only affects
a component which is turned off by default.
* For more clarity, the default version used by the module is noted in
the manual.
Closes #108419
It's been 8.5 years since NixOS used mingetty, but the option was
never renamed (despite the file definining the module being renamed in
9f5051b76c ("Rename mingetty module to agetty")).
I've chosen to rename it to services.getty here, rather than
services.agetty, because getty is implemantation-neutral and also the
name of the unit that is generated.
By default in Nginx, if you want to override a single fastcgi_param,
you have to override all of them. This is less of a big deal if
you're editing the Nginx configuration directly, but when you're
generating the Nginx configuration with Nix it can be very annoying to
bloat your configuration repeating the default values of FastCGI
parameters every time.
This patch adds a fastcgiParams option to Nginx locations. If any
parameters are set through this, all the default values will be
included as well, so only the ones that are changing need to be
supplied. There's no way to use fastcgiParams to actually override
all parameters if that's what you want, but I think that's a niche use
case and it's still possible using extraConfig, which up until now was
the only option
Nginx allows the fastcgi_param directive in http and server scopes as
well as location, but here I only support location. It would be
possible to support the others, but I don't think it's worth it. It
would be a possible future enhancement if somebody has a need for it.
* Content of `programlisting` shouldn't be indented, otherwise it's
weirdly indented in the output.
* Use `<xref linkend=.../>` in the release notes: then users can
directly go to the option documentation when reading release notes.
* Don't use docbook tags in `mkRemovedOptionModule`: it's only used
during evaluation where docbook isn't rendered.
Instead of treating the sddm config a wall of text that doesn't allow us
to override anything, turn it into an attribute set.
We dump `extraConfig` and instead introduce `settings` that is merged
with the module defaults to provide the final configuration.
There is some additional noise in here due to nixpkgs-fmt.
* nixos/xmonad: xmonad config w/ghc+xmessage
When the "config" option isn't set, we use xmonad-with-packages to
provide xmonad with runtime access to an isolated ghc, ensuring it can
recompile and exec a user's local config (e.g. $HOME/.xmonad/xmonad.hs)
regardless of which ghc (if any) is on PATH.
When the "config" option is set, however, we compile a configured xmonad
executable upfront (during nixos-rebuild), and prior to this commit, it
was not provided with runtime access to an isolated ghc.
As a result, with the "config" option set, it was not possible
to recompile and exec a user's local config unless there was a
compatible version of ghc on PATH with the necessary packages (xmonad,
xmonad-contrib, etc.) in its package database. Adding such a ghc to
environment.systemPackages, e.g.
(haskellPackages.ghcWithPackages (ps: with ps; [xmonad xmonad-contrib]))
is problematic because it adds both ghc and an unconfigured xmonad to
PATH, e.g.
$ ls -l $(which xmonad ghc)
lrwxrwxrwx ... /run/current-system/sw/bin/ghc -> /nix/store/...-ghc-8.10.2-with-packages/bin/ghc
lrwxrwxrwx ... /run/current-system/sw/bin/xmonad -> /nix/store/...-ghc-8.10.2-with-packages/bin/xmonad
Having the unconfigured xmonad on PATH is particularly bad because
restarting xmonad will dump the user into the unconfigured version, and
if no local config exists (e.g. in $HOME/.xmonad/xmonad.hs), they'll be
left in this unconfigured state.
In this commmit, we give the configured xmonad runtime access to ghc
like xmonad-with-packages does for the unconfigured version. The aim
is to allow the user to switch between the nixos module's config and a
local config (e.g. $HOME/.xmonad/xmonad.hs) at will, so they can try out
config changes without performing a nixos-rebuild.
Since the xmonad on PATH is the configured executable, there's no
danger a user could unwittingly restart into the unconfigured version,
and because xmonad will refuse to recompile when no local config
exists, there's no danger a user could unwittingly recompile into an
unconfigured version.
Given that a local config exists, the recompile/restart behavior depends
on two factors:
- which entry point is used
* 'XMonad.xmonad' (default)
* 'XMonad.launch' (recommended in "config" option description)
- what operation is triggered (i.e. via mod+q)
* `spawn "xmonad --recompile && xmonad --restart"` (default)
* `restart "xmonad" True`
* custom function
If the default 'XMonad.xmonad' entrypoint and default mod+q operation
are used, hitting mod+q will compile and exec the local config, which
will remain in use until next time the display manager is restarted.
If the entrypoint is changed to 'XMonad.launch' but mod+q left with its
default operation, hitting mod+q will have no visible effect. The logs
(as seen by running `journalctl --identifier xmonad --follow`) will show
an error,
X Error of failed request: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied)
which indicates that the shell was unable to start xmonad because
another window manager is already running (namely, the nixos-configured
xmonad).
https://wiki.haskell.org/Xmonad/Frequently_asked_questions#X_Error_of_failed_request:_BadAccess_.28attempt_to_access_private_resource_denied.29
Changing the mod+q operation to `restart "xmonad" True` (as recommended
in the "config" option's description) will allow a restart of the
nixos-configured xmonad to be triggeredy by hitting mod+q.
Finally, if the entrypoint is 'XMonad.launch', mod+q has been
bound to `restart "xmonad" True` and another key bound to a custom
recompile/restart function (e.g. `compileRestart` as shown in the
"config" option example), the user can switch between the nixos module's
config and their local config, with the custom key switching to the
local config and mod+q switching back.
* nixos/xmonad: refactor let binding
* nixos/xmonad: refactor (eliminate duplicate code)
* nixos/xmonad: install man pages
Prior to this commit, man pages were not installed if the "config"
option was set.
* nixos/xmonad: comment grammar fixups
* nixos/xmonad: writeStateToFile in example config
Calling writeStateToFile prior to recompiling and restarting allows
state (workspaces, etc.) to be preserved across the restart.
* nixos/xmonad: add ivanbrennan to maintainers
* nixos/xmonad: adjust compileRestart example
* nixos/xmonad: add missing import to example config
Since version 5.2.0 there's non-empty stop phase:
ExecStopPost=/usr/bin/env rm -f "/run/knot-resolver/control/%i"
but it's perfectly OK to run that from a different version
(and typically it's no-op anyway). Real-life example where this helps:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/49528#issuecomment-747723198
This allows to use files containing only the mpd password without the
permissions, making it easier for other programs connecting to mpd to read the
password from the same password file.
This reverts commit 8f177612b1.
Attempting to start any service from udev when systemd-udev-settle is
used at all hangs the boot for 2min. See issue #107341.
Since slurm-20.11.0.1 the dbd server requires slurmdbd.conf to be
in mode 600 to protect the database password. This change creates
slurmdbd.conf on-the-fly at service startup and thus avoids that
the database password ends up in the nix store.
It's very surprising that services.tor.client.enable would set
services.privoxy.enable. This violates the principle of least
astonishment, because it's Privoxy that can integrate with Tor, rather
than the other way around.
So this patch moves the Privoxy Tor integration to the Privoxy module,
and it also disables it by default. This change is documented in the
release notes.

Mailman can now work with MTAs other than Postfix. You'll have to configure
it yourself using the options in `services.mailman.settings.mta`.
This addition is reflected in the release notes for 21.03.
This partially reverts bf3d3dd19b.
I don't know why we weren't getting a default logfile back then but Xorg
definitely provides one now ($XDG_DATA_HOME for regular users and /var/log for
root, see `man Xorg`)
Dnscrypt-proxy needs some options to be set before it can do anything useful.
Currently, we only apply what the user configured which, by default, is nothing.
This leads to the dnscrypt-proxy2 service failing to start when you only set
`enable = true;` which is not a great user experience.
This patch makes the module take the example config from the upstream repo as a
base on top of which the user-specified settings are applied (it contains sane
defaults).
An option has been added to restore the old behaviour.
`file_exists` also returns `FALSE` if the file is in a directory that
can't be read by the user. This e.g. happens if permissions for
`nixops(1)`-deployment keys aren't configured correctly.
This patch improves the error message for invalid files to avoid
confusion[1].

This patch:
* Removes an invalid/useless classpath element;
* Removes an unnecessary environment variable;
* Creates the required '/version-2' data subdirectory;
* Redirects audit logging to the "console" (systemd) by default.
Unbound throws the following error:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
error: failed to list interfaces: getifaddrs: Address family not supported by protocol
fatal error: could not open ports
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
The solution is pulled from upstream:
https://github.com/NLnetLabs/unbound/pull/351
Unfortunately, I had a use-case where `services.nginx.config` was
necessary quite recently. While working on that config I had to look up
the module's code to understand which options can be used and which
don't.
To slightly improve the situation, I changed the documentation like
this:
* Added `types.str` as type since `config` is not mergeable on purpose.
It must be a string as it's rendered verbatim into `nginx.conf` and if
the type is `unspecified`, it can be confused with RFC42-like options.
* Mention which config options that don't generate config in
`nginx.conf` are NOT mutually exclusive.
There was some issues with the fallback to passive mode on 2.3, but on
2.4 adaptive mode is always enabled upstream and thermald will fallback
to passive if necessary.
