The <literal>matrix-synapse</literal> service
(<literal>services.matrix-synapse</literal>) has been
converted to use the <literal>settings</literal> option
defined in RFC42. This means that options that are part of
your <literal>homeserver.yaml</literal> configuration, and
that were specified at the top-level of the module
(<literal>services.matrix-synapse</literal>) now need to be
moved into
<literal>services.matrix-synapse.settings</literal>. And while
not all options you may use are defined in there, they are
still supported, because you can set arbitrary values in this
freeform type.

- The `mailpile` email webclient (`services.mailpile`) has been removed due to its reliance on python2.
- The `matrix-synapse` service (`services.matrix-synapse`) has been converted to use the `settings` option defined in RFC42.
This means that options that are part of your `homeserver.yaml` configuration, and that were specified at the top-level of the
module (`services.matrix-synapse`) now need to be moved into `services.matrix-synapse.settings`. And while not all options you
may use are defined in there, they are still supported, because you can set arbitrary values in this freeform type.
An example to make the required migration clearer:
Before:
```nix
{
services.matrix-synapse = {
enable = true;
server_name = "example.com";
public_baseurl = "https://example.com:8448";
enable_registration = false;
registration_shared_secret = "xohshaeyui8jic7uutuDogahkee3aehuaf6ei3Xouz4iicie5thie6nohNahceut";
macaroon_secret_key = "xoo8eder9seivukaiPh1cheikohquuw8Yooreid0The4aifahth3Ou0aiShaiz4l";
tls_certificate_path = "/var/lib/acme/example.com/fullchain.pem";
tls_certificate_path = "/var/lib/acme/example.com/fullchain.pem";
listeners = [ {
port = 8448;
bind_address = "";
type = "http";
tls = true;
resources = [ {
names = [ "client" ];
compress = true;
} {
names = [ "federation" ];
compress = false;
} ];
} ];
};
}
```
After:
```nix
{
services.matrix-synapse = {
enable = true;
# this attribute set holds all values that go into your homeserver.yaml configuration
# See https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/sample_config.yaml for
# possible values.
settings = {
server_name = "example.com";
public_baseurl = "https://example.com:8448";
enable_registration = false;
# pass `registration_shared_secret` and `macaroon_secret_key` via `extraConfigFiles` instead
tls_certificate_path = "/var/lib/acme/example.com/fullchain.pem";
tls_certificate_path = "/var/lib/acme/example.com/fullchain.pem";
listeners = [ {
port = 8448;
bind_address = [
"::"
"0.0.0.0"
];
type = "http";
tls = true;
resources = [ {
names = [ "client" ];
compress = true;

};
extraConfigFiles = [
/run/keys/matrix-synapse/secrets.yaml
];
};
}
```
The secrets in your original config should be migrated into a YAML file that is included via `extraConfigFiles`.
Additionally a few option defaults have been synced up with upstream default values, for example the `max_upload_size` grew from `10M` to `50M`.
- The MoinMoin wiki engine (`services.moinmoin`) has been removed, because Python 2 is being retired from nixpkgs.
- The `wafHook` hook now honors `NIX_BUILD_CORES` when `enableParallelBuilding` is not set explicitly. Packages can restore the old behaviour by setting `enableParallelBuilding=false`.
