the options should not be set as we already change user with service
file, man mpd.conf says "Do not use this option if you start MPD as an
unprivileged user"
The group option actually is not documented at all anymore and probably
no longer exists.
These options get in the way of setting up confinement for the service,
as it would otherwise be pretty straightforward to setup, but even if
mpd is not root it would check the user exists within the chroot which
is more work (need to get nss working):
systemd.services.mpd = {
serviceConfig.BindPaths = [
# mpd state dir
"/var/lib/mpd"
# notify systemd service started up
"/run/systemd/notify"
];
serviceConfig.BindReadOnlyPaths = [
"/path/to/music:/var/lib/mpd/music"
];
# ProtectSystem is not compatible with confinement
serviceConfig.ProtectSystem = lib.mkForce false;
confinement = {
enable = true;
binSh = null;
mode = "chroot-only";
};
};
A centralized list for these renames is not good because:
- It breaks disabledModules for modules that have a rename defined
- Adding/removing renames for a module means having to find them in the
central file
- Merge conflicts due to multiple people editing the central file
Didn't notice this till I tried removing my custom roon user from the one I was testing with. There's not a 'groups' option for users, only group (primary group) and extraGroups. Use these.
(#68337)
DynamicUser currently breaks the backup functionality provided by roon,
as the roon server cannot write to non-canonical directories and the
recycled UIDs/GIDs would make managing permissions for the directory
impossible. On top of that, it would break the ability to manage the
local music library files (as it would not be able to delete them).
A nixos module for configuring the server side of pkgs.snapcast.
The module is named "snapserver" following upstream convention.
This commit does not provide module for the corresponding client.
Fix handling of port and controlPort
Fix stream uri generation & address review
Remove unused streams options & add description
Add missing description & Remove default fs path
Use types.port for ports & formatting improvements
Force mpd and mopidy to wait for snapserver
This change allows users to specify an alternative database method. For
example an mpd satellite setup where another mpd on the network shares
it's database with the local instance. The `dbFile` parameter must not be
configured in that case.

Hm, this is not really the intended use of stateVersion. From the description:
Every once in a while, a new NixOS release may change
configuration defaults in a way incompatible with stateful
data. For instance, if the default version of PostgreSQL
changes, the new version will probably be unable to read your
existing databases. To prevent such breakage, you can set the
value of this option to the NixOS release with which you want
to be compatible. The effect is that NixOS will option
defaults corresponding to the specified release (such as using
an older version of PostgreSQL).
So this is only intended for options that have some corresponding on-disk state. AFAICT this is not the case for sound. In any case stateVersion is a necessary evil that only exists because we can't just upgrade Postgres databases or change SSH host keys. It's not necessary for things like whether sound is enabled. (If the user discovers that sound is suddenly disabled, they can just enable it.)
I had some vague recollection that we also had a configVersion option setting to control the defaults for non-state-related options, but I can't find it so maybe it was only discussed.
