The default, which is /tmp, has a few issues associated with it:
One being that it makes it easy for users on the system to spoof a
PostgreSQL server if it's not running, causing applications to connect
to their provided sockets instead of just failing to connect.
Another one is that it makes sandboxing of PostgreSQL and other services
unnecessarily difficult. This is already the case if only PrivateTmp is
used in a systemd service, so in order for such a service to be able to
connect to PostgreSQL, a bind mount needs to be done from /tmp to some
other path, so the service can access it. This pretty much defeats the
whole purpose of PrivateTmp.
We regularily run into issues with this in the past already (one example
would be https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/24317) and with the new
systemd-confinement mode upcoming in
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/57519, it makes it even more
tedious to sandbox services.
I've tested this change against all the postgresql NixOS VM tests and
they still succeed and I also grepped through the source tree to replace
other occasions where we might have /tmp hardcoded. Luckily there were
very few occasions.

The overwriteprotocol option can be used to force Nextcloud to generate
URLs with the given protocol. This is useful for instances behind
reverse proxies that serve Nextcloud with HTTPS.
In this case Nextcloud can't determine the proper protocol and it needs
to be configured manually.
The module is indeed very large but allows configuring every aspect of
icingaweb2. The built-in monitoring module is in an own file because
there are actually more (third-party) modules and this structure means
every module can get an own file.
Force this option to false. Leaving this as true (currently the default)
is dangerous. If the TT-RSS installation upgrades itself to a newer
version requiring a schema update, the installation will break the next
time the TT-RSS systemd service is restarted.
Ideally, the installation itself should be immutable (see
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/55300).
NixOS currently defaults services.nginx.package to
nginxStable. Including configuration files from nginxMainline could
potentially cause incompatible configuration.
Part of #49783. NextCloud tracks in its `config.php` the application's
state which makes it hard for the module to modify configurations during
upgrades.
It will take time until the issue is properly fixed, therefore we
decided to warn about this in the manual.
This PR addresses two things:
* Adding a basic example for nextcloud. I figured it to be helpful to
add some basic usage instructions when adding a new manual entry.
Advanced documentation may follow later.
For now this document actively links to the service options, so users
are guided to the remaining options that can be helpful in certain
cases.
* Add a warning about upgrades and manual changes in
`/var/lib/nextcloud`. This will be fixed in the future, but it's
definetely helpful to document the current issues in the manual (as
proposed in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/49783#issuecomment-439691127).
