This addresses #120263 in part, by allowing users to override the
github-runner derivation that is bound to turn non-functional via the
self-update mechanism. (And it'll allow using a buildFHSUserEnv-based
derivation, if someone ends up building that!)
Printers are usually connected over USB to serial interfaces that are
mounted as tty character devices owned by the dialout group. Add our
octoprint service to this group at runtime to allow access to these
printers.
5.7+ comes with a native exfat implementation, exfatprogs should be used instead.
The exfat package puts a "mount.exfat" binary in the path, which causes
mount to prefer the FUSE version to the non-fuse one. There's no way to
disable the binary, so switch to exfatprogs.
twisted is used in matrix-synapse for smtp handling.
Mostly this is used for password resets, but also notifications
are delivered that way.
older versions of twisted require the e-mail server to
have TLS1.0 enabled.
Obviously, quite a lot of servers have this disabled which means
synapse won't be able to deliver mails using such servers.

Recommend to use services.xserver.dpi option instead. Mention in the
documentation that it's a sledgehammer approach and monitor settings should be
used instead.
Also don't set DPI in fontconfig settings; fontconfig should use Xft settings
by default so let's not override one value in multiple places. For example,
user now can set DPI via ~/.Xresources properly.
This should barely increase the size of the initrd, because these are all symlinks.
With this, systems with dm-cache/lvmcache can also be booted, although the kernel modules for the relevant dm targets still need to be added to the initrd with boot.initrd.kernelModules.
Previous to this commit, the entire test driver environment was shared
with the actual python test environment.
This is a hefty api surface. This commit selectively exposes only those
symbols to the test environment that are actually meant to be used by
tests.
Deluge 1.x requires Python 2 which upstream has end-of-lifed. Deluge depends
on pythonPackages.twisted, Python 2 support for which upstream has
nowdropped. If pythonPackages.twisted is upgraded then Deluge 1.x breaks.
So, remove it instead of leaving it broken.
Deluge 2.x (deluge-2_x) is available and continues to work.
- boost 167 removed on staging-next (7915d1e03f) × boost attributes are inherited on staging (d20aa4955d)
- linux kernels were moved to linux-kernels.nix on staging-next (c62f911507) × hardened kernels are versioned on staging (a5341beb78) + removed linux_5_12 (e55554491d)
- conflict in node-packages – I regenerated it using node2nix from nixos-unstable (does not build on staging)
Let the update.py script handle the initial, repetitive task of
packaging new plugins. With this in place, the plugin only needs to be
added to the list in `update-plugins` and most of the work will be
done automatically when the script is run. Metadata still needs to be
filled in manually and some packages may of course require additional
work/patching.
Perform the tests on the package that the `tests` attribute is a child
of, i.e. if `discourseAllPlugins.tests` is built, the tests will run
with the `discourseAllPlugins` package, not the `discourse` package as
previously.
Without this option all changes done with Caddy API are lost after reboot.
Current service is not supporting Caddy --resume parameter. There is reference to original unit https://github.com/caddyserver/dist/blob/master/init/caddy.service which also mentions --resume and that it should be used if new Caddy API will be used.
The problem behind this is that the hardened patchset[1]. Quite recently
this led to a weird problem when Linux 5.12 was dropped (and thus had to
be removed from `nixpkgs`), there were no patches for 5.13, so
`linuxPackages_hardened_latest` had to be downgraded to 5.10 as base[2]
which may be rather unintuitive and unexpected.
To avoid these kind of "silent downgrades" in the future, it makes sense
to drop the attribute entirely. If somebody wants to use a hardened
kernel, it's better to explicitly pin it using the newly introduced
versioned attributes, e.g. `linuxPackages_4_14_hardened`.

The wpa_supplicant service in the NixOS installer is unusable because
the control socket is disabled and /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf ignored.
The manual currently recommends manually starting the daemon and using
wpa_passphrase, but this requires figuring out the interface name,
driver and only works for WPA2 personal networks.
By enabling the control socket, instead, a user can configure the
network via wpa_cli (or wpa_gui in the graphical installer), which
support more advanced network configurations.
Most desktop environments manage the cursor using the Xcursor library
by default; this comes with scalable or multiple-sized cursor themes.
However, when running just a simple WM (twm, bspwm, ...) the cursor
handling is left to the X server, which uses a very simple fixed bitmap
font (this is called a "core" cursor). The font is uncomfortably small
on a high DPI display and must be replaced with a saner default.
Up until recently[1] it used to be possible to change the font on the
xserver command line, however the font name is now hardcoded. It's still
possible to change it, though: here I override the `fontcursormisc`
package and set an alias that points to a vector variant of the original
cursor font. The font size is set to match the standard cursor
dimensions on a 96dpi display. It's not perfect but it's a very simple
and effective solution.

The paperless project has moved on to paperless-ng and the original
paperless package in Nixpkgs has stopped working recently (due to
version incompatibility with the providede Django package).
Instead of investing more time into the old module we should migrate all
users to the new module instead.
This is the case when the test-script is empty. `nixos-build-vms(8)` is
primarily supposed to be used as tool to test changes or to reproduce
bugs (IMHO) where "just spinning up a few VMs" is the primary use-case.
In the ongoing discussion about these changes[1] it was suggested to
only expose it when needed (i.e. in the case I described above) to keep
the API surface as slim as possible.

This sets up a different systemd service for each interface. This way
each wpa_supplicant instance waits for his inteface to become ready
using the respective device unit, and that only. The configuration file
is still shared between all instances, though.
This closes a longstanding "fixme" from cbfba81.
This is relevant for `nixos-build-vms(8)` which doesn't have a
test-script. In that case it's more intuitive to directly go into the
interactive mode which is IMHO more intuitive.
The generated json configuration returns this warning:
the 'issuer' field is deprecated and will be removed in the future; use 'issuers' instead
Updated the config to use "issuers" instead of "issuer"
Also, now it's possible to set the ca option null to not inject
automatically any ca. This is useful if you don't want to generate any
certificates or if you want to define a more fine-graned ca config
manually (e.g.: use different ca per domain)
Previously, for processes launched by doas the unwrapped doas binary preceded the
setuid-wrapped doas binary in PATH.
This caused error `doas: not installed setuid` when running doas from
processes launched by doas.
doas seems to short-circuit the PATH lookup when called like
`doas -u myuser doas -u myuser ...` so the error doesn't appear in this case.
- Add an option to automatically launch a scan when the
signal of the current network is low
- Enable 802.11r (fast access point transition) by default for all
protected networks
I may have finally found a clean solution to the issues[1][2][3] with
the automatic discovery of wireless network interfaces.

Currently the start script fails right away if no interface is available
by the time it's running, possibly leaving the system without network.
This happens when running a little early in the boot. A solution is to
instead wait for at least one interface to appear before scanning the
/sys/class/net/ directory. This is done here by listening for the right
udev events (from the net/wlan subsystem) using the `udevadm monitor`
command and grep to match its output.
This methods guarantees the availability of at least one interface to
wpa_supplicant, but won't add additional interfaces once it has started.
However, if the current interface is lost, say unplugged, the service is
automatically stopped and will be restarted as soon as a one (not
necessarily the same) is detected. It would be possible make this fully
dynamic by running another service that continously listen for udev
events and manages the main wpa_supplicant daemon, but this is probably
overkill.
I tested the following cases:
- one interface, starting at boot, w/o predictable naming scheme
- two interfaces, starting at boot (intel wireless and a usb adapter),
w/o predictable naming scheme
- one interface after the system booted, w/o predictable naming scheme
- two interfaces after the system booted, w/o predictable naming scheme
- unplugging and plugging back the current interface
I expect it suffices that the channel only blocks on one firefox ESR
test - the one for the default ESR. I didn't want to have the
information about the default in two places, so either of the tests will
be evaluated twice (but to the same *.drv I hope).
Analogous to 6325d15e90.
The test certificate expiration date was set to the default 30 days.
This certificate is generated through its own derivation. As with
every derivation, it gets cached by cache.nixos.org once we build it.
In practice, we rebuild this derivation only if one of its input
changes. The only inputs here being openssl and stdenv.
While it's not an issue on the unstable branches, it can be
problematic on a stable release: the test will fail after 30 days.
Extending the certificate lifespan from 1 month to 100 years to prevent
it from getting expired while being cached.
There is no generic services.kea.enable option. Instead kea consists of
four daemons (dhcp4, dhcp6, ddns, ctrlagent) that can be enabled
individually. In this test we're just looking at dhcp6.
This change makes it so that accessing config.users.groups.*.members isn't
empty by default, but instead contains all the users whose `extraGroups`
includes that group, allowing fancy things like
{ config, ... }: {
users.groups.libvirt.members = config.users.groups.wheel.members;
}
to add all users in the wheel group to the libvirt group
Some ACME providers (like Buypass) are using a different certificate
to sign OCSP responses than for server certificates. Therefore,
sslTrustedCertificate should be provided by the user and we need to
allow that.
* Previously, both the xorg and wayland backend were built into the yambar
package. The refactor breaks up each backends to its separate, with xorg
being the default. Thus yambar users on wayland should switch to the
yambar-wayland package.
For security reasons, and generally, it is best to create a more fine
grained group than plugdev. This way users that wish to tweak razer
devices don't have access to the entire plugdev group's permissions.
This is of course a breaking change.

for more context.
Nullmailer expects that this directory exists (see
073f4e9c5d/doc/nullmailer-send.8 (L185)).
When it doesn't and an email cannot be sent due to a permanent failure
or has been in the queue longer than queuelifetime (7 days), message
"Can't rename file: No such file or directory" starts appearing in the
log and nullmailer never sends "Could not send message" notification.
This means that the user may never learn that his email was not
delivered.
Previously the driver was configured exclusively through convoluted
environment variables.
Now the driver's defaults are configured through env variables.
Some additional concerns are in the github comments of this PR.
This fixes:

This option allows basic configuration of the compression technique
used in the backup script. Specifically it adds `none` and `zstd` as
new alternatives, keeping `gzip` as the default.
