This introduces an option that allows us to turn off stateful generation of Diffie-Hellman parameters, which in some way is still "stateful" as the generated DH params file is non-deterministic. However what we can avoid with this is to have an increased surface for failures during system startup, because generation of the parameters is done during build-time. Aside from adding a NixOS VM test it also restructures the type of the security.dhparams.params option, so that it's a submodule. A new defaultBitSize option is also there to allow users to set a system-wide default. I added a release notes entry that described what has changed and also included a few notes for module developers using this module, as the first usage already popped up in NixOS/nixpkgs#39507. Thanks to @Ekleog and @abbradar for reviewing. |
