This should be a significant disk space saving for most NixOS
installations. This method is a bit more complicated than doing it in
the postInstall for the firmware derivations, but this way it's
automatic, so each firmware package doesn't have to separately
implement its compression.
Currently, only xz compression is supported, but it's likely that
future versions of Linux will additionally support zstd, so I've
written the code in such a way that it would be very easy to implement
zstd compression for those kernels when they arrive, falling back to
xz for older (current) kernels.
I chose the highest possible level of compression (xz -9) because even
at this level, decompression time is negligible. Here's how long it took
to decompress every firmware file my laptop uses:
i915/kbl_dmc_ver1_04.bin 2ms
regulatory.db 4ms
regulatory.db.p7s 3ms
iwlwifi-7265D-29.ucode 62ms
9d71-GOOGLE-EVEMAX-0-tplg.bin 22ms
intel/dsp_fw_kbl.bin 65ms
dsp_lib_dsm_core_spt_release.bin 6ms
intel/ibt-hw-37.8.10-fw-22.50.19.14.f.bseq 7ms
And since booting NixOS is a parallel process, it's unlikely (but
difficult to measure) that the time to user interaction was held up at
all by most of these.

automysqldump passes the --events flag, but without the EVENTS permission a error occures:

Add support for enabling confinement
but does not enable it by default yet
because so far no module within NixOS uses confinement
hence that would set a precedent.
This allows btrbk instances without a triggering timer by setting
`onCalendar` to `null`.
This is useful for manual-starting only btrbk backup settings.
Introduced in OpenSSH 9.0 it became the part of the default kexAlgorithm
selection, visibile in sshd_config(5).
It is also enabled by default in the OpenSSH client, as can be seen from
$ ssh -Q KexAlgorithms
Also clarifies that we use the referenced documents as the lower bound,
given that they haven't been updated for 5-7y.
Tailscale uses policy routing to enable certain traffic to bypass
routes that lead into the Tailscale mesh. NixOS's reverse path
filtering setup doesn't understand the policy routing at play,
and so incorrectly interprets some of this traffic as spoofed.
Since this only breaks some features of Tailscale, merely warn
users about it, rather than make it a hard error.

Added Nextcloud 23 and set it as the default Nextcloud version for the
NixOS module. Added PHP 8.1 as an option for phpPackage and default for
Nextcloud ≥ 24.
For some features, tailscaled uses getent(1) to get the shell
of OS users. getent(1) is in the glibc derivation. Without this
derivation in the path, tailscale falls back to /bin/sh for all
users.

network-manager-applet uses differrent naming scheme from the VPN plug-ins.
Let’s revert to the previous state, for now, to fix eval. We can do the rename later.
This reverts commit cecb014d5d.
In a previous PR [1], the conditional to generate a new host key file
was changed to also include the case when the file exists, but has zero
size. This could occur when the system is uncleanly powered off shortly
after first boot.
However, ssh-keygen prompts the user before overwriting a file. For
example:
$ touch hi
$ ssh-keygen -f hi
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
hi already exists.
Overwrite (y/n)?
So, lets just try to remove the empty file (if it exists) before running
ssh-keygen.

The way the database port is configured changed in Keycloak 18 and the

works. Use the new `db-url-port` setting instead.

Without this, if the network goes down for a while, systemd will give up after 5 restarts:
Scheduled restart job, restart counter is at 5.
Stopped Nebula VPN service for myvpn.
nebula@myvpn.service: Start request repeated too quickly.
Failed with result 'exit-code'.
Failed to start Nebula VPN service for myvpn.
Most network services need this, but for VPNs it's extra important.

We remove the various lua wrappers introduced by
6799a91843 and
16d0b4a69f. It seems like we don't need
them anymore. I'm not brave enough to dig into the Lua machinery to
see what resolved that. Sorry, you'll have to trust me on that one.
We should probably think about the migration from http_upload to
http_file_share for the NixOS module. It's not trivial, we need to
make sure we don't break the already uploaded URLs.
This commit refactors the way how configuration files are deployed to
the `/etc/asterisk` directory.
The current solution builds a Nix derivation containing all config files
and symlinks it to `/etc/asterisk`. The problem with that approach is
that it is not possible to provide additional configuration that should
not be written to the Nix store, i.e. files containing credentials.
The proposed solution changes the creation of configuration files so
that each configuration file gets symlinked to `/etc/asterisk`
individually so that it becomes possible to provide additional config
files to `/etc/asterisk` as well.
First, add the builtin udev rules to /etc/udev/rules.d so they are used.
Then, add all networkd .link units to the initrd. This is done in the
old stage 1 as well so I assume this is needed even when networkd is not
used. I assume this is for things like changing the MAC address.
Also limit the number of udev/lib binaries that is put into the initrd
because the old initrd doesn't use all units either.
The NixOS evaluation would complain:
trace: warning: literalExample is deprecated, use literalExpression instead, or use literalDocBook for a non-Nix description.
The description for the runner in the UI is by default sthg like
"npm_nixos_d0544ed48909" i.e., the name of the attribute.
I wanted to have a more user-friendly description and added a
description to the service.
Seems like gitlab-runner doesn't like having both fields set:
"Cannot use two forms of the same flag: description name"
so I used one or the other.
This avoids the scenario where you activate a new config over Tailscale,
and a long delay between the "stop services" and "start services" phases
of the activation script lead to your terminal freezing for tens of
seconds, until tailscaled finally gets started again and the session
recovers.
Per the documentation of stopIfChanged, this is only safe to do if the
service definition is robust to stopping the old process using the new
service definition. As the maintainer of the upstream systemd unit, I
can confirm that Tailscale is robust to this scenario: it has to be
in order to work right on several other distros that just do
unpack-then-restart, rather than the more complex stop-unpack-start
dance.

I recently learned that Nextcloud 23's new profile feature — basically a
way for users to share personal contact details — has a problematic
default setting, profile data is shared with **everyone** by default.
This means that an unauthenticated user can access personal information
by accessing `nextcloud.tld/u/user.name`.
The announcement of v23 states[1]:
> We go a step further and introduce a profile page. Here you can put a
> description of yourself, show links to, for example, social media, what
> department you are in and information on how to contact you. All these
> are of course entirely optional and you can choose what is visible to who!
> The profile and user status are accessible also from our mobile and desktop clients.
It's not mentioned that by default you share personal information[3] with
everyone and personally I think that's somewhat problematic.
To work around that, I decided to add an option for the recently added[2]
and even set it to `false` by default to make an explicit opt-in for
that feature.

[3] By default, this affects the following properties:
* About
* Full name
* Headline
* Organisation
* Profile picture
* Role
* Twitter
* Website
Phone, Address and Email are not affected and only shown to
authenticated users by default.
There is no need to install them when they will not be picked up
by the Appearance panel of GNOME Control Center without
a XML metadata file anyway.
They will be pulled into the closure via overrides
so that is not a concern either.
This reverts commit 7f3bc5b8fa.
This reverts commit fa607bc939.
On first run, Postfix will refuse to start if it's started before
Mailman is up, because it'll try to read the map files generated
Mailman the first time it's started, and they won't exist yet. To fix
this, make sure Postfix isn't started until after Mailman is up if
they're both activated at the same time.
The old way of writing the file omited qoutes within strings which are needed by some configurations like federations.
The quotes got lost when `echo`ing the content via `echo '${builtins.toJSON x}'`.
The pkgs.formats.json does handle that race condition properly, so this commit switches the writing to that helper.
`fcitx5` and `service.earlyoom` rely on use XDG autostart files to start.
But for X session with only window manager and no desktop manager
(`none` is used), no one can start them.
This options is added to run these autostart files for sessions without
desktop manager to make other services just work.
Apparently this was never properly tested and never worked. When the IPFS repo needs upgrading, the first call to ipfs, which is run before running the migration, fails with the error message "Error: ipfs repo needs migration".
To fix this, simply run the migration before any `ipfs config` calls but don't run it when `dataDir` is empty and we need to call `ipfs init`.
Writing a NixOS test for this would require keeping at least two versions of IPFS in Nixpkgs, which we don't currently do.
1. Update the default values of several addresses-related settings
that have been changed by upstream.
2. Make `dns.address` take multiple addresses. This is needed
for dual stack, now working by default.
GNOME 42 needs two wallpaper pictures – for the default (light)
colour scheme and for the dark one. Because we are clearing out
the paths in `gsettings-desktop-schemas` to prevent closure
from bloating, we need to set them in the NixOS module.
Since the wallpaper for the default colour scheme is dark,
will relegate it to the dark colour scheme and switch
to a light blue variant for the default colour scheme.
That one has inverted roundel for the NixOS logo but
it is the only light-ish background that has the logo
of the same size and placing as the dark wallpaper.
