Wordpress bundles some non-essential plugins and themes, then pesters
users to upgrade them. As we make the whole webroot readonly, it is
not possible to trivially delete them. Instead we should have users
explicitly install plugins via the existing nixos module.
this converts meta.doc into an md pointer, not an xml pointer. since we
no longer need xml for manual chapters we can also remove support for
manual chapters from md-to-db.sh
since pandoc converts smart quotes to docbook quote elements and our
nixos-render-docs does not we lose this distinction in the rendered
output. that's probably not that bad, our stylesheet didn't make use of
this anyway (and pre-23.05 versions of the chapters didn't use quote
elements either).
also updates the nixpkgs manual to clarify that option docs support all
extensions (although it doesn't support headings at all, so heading
anchors don't work by extension).
In an effort to better encode version strings and use descriptive pnames
that do not conflict with top level pkgs, we currently use
wordpress-${type}-${pname} for pname. This is good for the nix store,
but when we synthesize the wordpress derivation in our module, we reuse
this pname for the output directory.
Internally wordpress can handle this fine, since plugins must register
via php, not directory. Unfortunately, many plugins like civicrm and
wpforms-lite are designed to rely upon the name of their install
directory for homing or discovery.
As such, we should follow both the upstream convention and
services.nextcloud.extraApps and use an attribute set for these options.
This allows us to not have to deal with the implementation details of
plugins and themes, which differ from official and third party, but also
give users the option to override the install location. The only issue
is that it breaks the current api.
`shell_interact()` is currently not nice to use. If you try to cancel
the socat process, it will also break the nixos test. Furthermore
ptpython creates it's own terminal that subprocesses are running in,
which breaks some of the terminal features of socat.
Hence this commit extends `shell_interact` to allow also to connect to
arbitrary servers i.e. tcp servers started by socat.
as far as we can tell nixos has only ever had a total of one olink, and
currently has no olinks at all. we can't currently represent olinks in
markdown docs, and if we re-add support for cross-document links they
will take a different form (and not use docbook, which will have to be
phased out before we re-add anything).
the olinkdb is thus unused and takes 10 seconds on our machine to build,
holding up the rest of the manual for no benefit.
Without this commit, unsetting any of the `services.kubo.settings` options does not reset the value back to the default. This commit gets rid of this statefulness.
This is achieved by generating the default config, applying the user specified config options to it and then patching the `Identity` and `Pinning` config options from the old config back in. This new config is then applied using `ipfs config replace`.
The only remaining stateful parts of the config are the `Identity` and `Pinning.RemoteServices` settings as those can't be changed with `ipfs config replace`. `Pinning.RemoteServices` also contains secrets that shouldn't be in the Nix store. Setting these options wasn't possible before as it would result in an error when the daemon tried to start. I added some assertions to guard against this case.
Trivial conflict in release notes, except that the xml/docbook parts
are horrible for (semi-)automatic conflict resolution.
Fortunately that's generated anyway.
Adds a new option to the virtualisation modules that enables specifying
explicitly named network interfaces in QEMU VMs. The existing
`virtualisation.vlans` is still supported for cases where the name of
the network interface is irrelevant.
`autosuspend` is a daemon that periodically runs user-defined checks to
verify whether the system should be suspended. It's already available
in nixpkgs. This adds a NixOS module which starts the daemon as a
systemd service.

following the plan in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/189318#discussion_r961764451
also adds an activation script to print the warning during activation
instead of during build, otherwise folks using the new CLI that hides
build logs by default might never see the warning.
This commit fixes a papercut in nixos-rebuild where people wanting to
switch to a specialisation (or test one) were forced to manually figure
out the specialisation's path and run its activation script - since now,
there's a dedicated option to do just that.
This is a backwards-compatible change which doesn't affect the existing
behavior, which - to be fair - might still be considered sus by some
people, the painful scenario here being:
- you boot into specialisation `foo`,
- you run `nixos-rebuild switch`,
- whoops, you're no longer at specialisation `foo`, but you're rather
brought back to the base system.
(it's especially painful for cases where specialisation is used to load
extra drivers, e.g. Nvidia, since then launching `nixos-rebuild switch`,
while forgetting that you're inside a specialisation, can cause some
parts of your system to get accidentally unloaded.)
I've tried to mitigate that by improving specialisations so that they
create a dedicated file somewhere in `/run/current-system` containing
the specialisation's name (which `nixos-rebuild` could then use as the
default value for `--specialisation`), but I haven't been able to come
up with anything working (plus it would be a breaking change then).

* Will make it so that GHC.Paths's docdir NIX_GHC_DOCDIR points to an
actual directory.
* Documentation of all packages in the environment is available in
`$out/share/doc`.
This has previously been attempted in #76842 and reverted in #77442,
since documentation can collide when the libraries wouldn't (thanks to
the hash in the lib filename). `symlinkJoin` allows collision, so this
solution should be akin to #77523 (minus `buildEnv`, one step at a
time). `installDocumentation = false` restores the old behavior.
Collision in the documentation only happen if the dependency closure of
the given packages has more than one different derivation for the same
library of the very same version. I'm personally inclined not to claim
that our infrastructure does anything sensible in this case.
Additionally, the documentation is likely largely the same in such
cases (unless it is heavily patched).
Resolves#150666.
Resolves#76837.
Closes#150968.
Closes#77523.
This is a followup of #148921, to allow local builds when
`--target-host` is used again. It also documents the change in
behavior, regarding the specialty of the `localhost` value.
By removing the special handling of an empty `buildHost` and non empty
`targetHost`, this change also slightly alters the behavior of
`nixos-rebuild`.
Originally by specifying `--target-host target --build-host ""`, the
now removed special case would transform those arguments to
`--target-host target --build-host target`.
Now the empty `--build-host` would result in a local build.
Added the RFC42-style added the posibility to use
`services.dokuwiki.sites.<name>.settings' instead of passing a plain
string to `<name>.extraConfig`. ´<name>.pluginsConfig` now also accepts
structured configuration.
Move the manpage-to-URL mapping to `doc/manpage-urls.json` so that we can
reuse that file elsewhere, and generate the `link-manpages.lua` filter from
that file.
Also modify the Pandoc filter so that it doesn't wrap manpages that are
already inside a link.
Keeping a Lua filter is essential for speed: a Python filter would
increase the runtime `md-to-db.sh` from ~20s to ~30s (but Python is not
to blame; marshalling Pandoc types to and from JSON is a costly operation).
Parsing in Lua seems tedious, so I went with the Nix way.
There should be no reason to use this package as it's a remnant of
non-modular X. Chances are you do not want every single library it
used to pull in:
freetype fontconfig xorg.xorgproto xorg.libX11 xorg.libXt
xorg.libXft xorg.libXext xorg.libSM xorg.libICE
Just pick the ones you really need instead.
`nixpkgs` does not have any users of `xlibsWrapper`.

This commit upgrades headscale to the newest version, 0.17.0 and updates
the module with the current breaking config changes.
In addition, the module is rewritten to conform with RFC0042 to try to
prevent some drift between the module and the upstream.
A new maintainer, Misterio77, is added as maintainer.

Document the `linux.override` way first, then `linuxManualConfig`.
Add a `linux.configEnv` passthru attribute for quickly getting a
`make nconfig`-ready shell.
Make "$out" more conformant to the bin/ lib/ share/ hirarchy
instead of messing up the user profile
with stuff like cmake/ config/ macros/ icons/ js/ tutorials/ ...
In this layout,
* `tutorials` is now under `share/doc/ROOT/tutorial`
* `cmake`, `font`, `icons`, `js` and `macro` is now under `share/root`
* `Makefile.comp` and `Makefile.config` in now under `etc/root`.
When running nixos-rebuild -I, the man page just said "-I path" which could be interpreted as
"just a path to nixpkgs", which in fact it actually has the same meaning as NIX_PATH.
This is now made clear in the manual, so that when grepping "-I" and "NIX_PATH" one quickly finds
the format of the option.
I don't know how to link to the "nix manual" as stated in the docbook, so I left that as it is.
Additionally, it wasn't clear to me how to actually build the man pages and view the changes I made.
That's now in the contributing-to-this-manual.chapter.md.
Avoids confusion: `vim-full`'s build-time features are configurable, but both
`vim` and `vim-full` are *customizable* (in the sense of user configuration).
I'm well aware that this issue is currently under discussion[1] and that
these things may change. Also, please don't misinterpret this as an
attempt to end the discussion.
This topic made it obvious that people are surprised by the way this
issue is handled and only finding out about this unwritten rule because
of asking is not a good state IMHO, so I decided to document the
following things:
* Right now we drop kernels as soon as they get out of maintenance (LTS
kernels even before the next stable NixOS that will exceed their
lifespan).
* The `latestCompatibleLinuxPackages` attribute from ZFS isn't
monotonic since latest only refers to the latest supported kernel.
* In fact `latestCompatibleLinuxPackages` doesn't seem to be documented
at all in the manual, so I also did that.

Adds a new option for backup jobs `inhibitsSleep` which prevents
the system from going to sleep while a backup is in progress.
Uses `systemd-inhibit`, which holds a "lock" that prevents the
system from sleeping while the process it invokes is running.
This did require wrapping the existing backup script using
`writeShellScript` so that it could be run by `systemd-inhibit`.
When using the declarative shared folder configuration for resilio sync
it is now possible to pass a path from which to read the secret should
be read at runtime. The path will not be added to the nix store.
The 'secret' parameter to specify the secret directly is still
supported. This option will still store the secret in the nix store.
This commit follows the pattern described in this issue, for upstream
programs that do not provide support for setting a password using a
file: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/24288
Add a section on ordering option definitions.
Also mention `mkDefault` in the section on `mkOverride`.
Clarify the code a bit by renaming `defaultPriority` to
`defaultOverridePriority` and introducing `defaultOrderPriority`.
The placement of this option under `nix` was misleading, as it is not
configuration of the Nix daemon, but rather configuration of the NixOS
boot process and how it mounts the Nix store. As such, make it an option
of `boot` to clarify what it actually affects, and imply that it will
only take effect on a reboot.
Since it no longer has the context of nix, adjust the name to include
it.
