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";
};
};
Systemd ProtectSystem is incompatible with the chroot we make
for confinement. The options is redundant with what we do anyway
so warn if it had been set and advise to disable it.

This will make dbus socket activation for it work
When `systemd-resolved` is restarted; this would lead to unavailability
of DNS lookups. You're supposed to use DBUS socket activation to buffer
resolved requests; such that restarts happen without downtime
'nix build' is an experimental command so we shouldn't use it
yet. (nixos-rebuild also uses 'nix', but only when using flakes, which
are themselves an experimental feature.)
This reverts commits 9d0de0dc57,
27d2857a99. 'nix ping-store' is an
experimental command so it doesn't work in Nix 2.4 unless you set
'experimental-features = nix-command' in nix.conf.
This seems to have worked in 15f105d41f (5
months ago) but broke somewhere in the meantime.
The current module doesn't seem to be underdocumented and might need a
serious refactor. It requires quite some hacks to get it to work (see
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/86305#issuecomment-621129942),
or how the ldap.nix test used systemd.services.openldap.preStart and
made quite some assumptions on internals.
Mic92 agreed on being added as a maintainer for the module, as he uses
it a lot and can possibly fix eventual breakages. For the most basic
startup breakages, the remaining openldap.nix test might suffice.
`doas` is a lighter alternative to `sudo` that "provide[s] 95% of the
features of `sudo` with a fraction of the codebase" [1]. I prefer it to
`sudo`, so I figured I would add a NixOS module in order for it to be
easier to use. The module is based off of the existing `sudo` module.
