Raw Blame History

Release 24.05 (“Uakari”, 2024.05/??)

Support is planned until the end of December 2024, handing over to 24.11.

Highlights

In addition to numerous new and upgraded packages, this release has the following highlights:

  • cryptsetup has been upgraded from 2.6.1 to 2.7.0. Cryptsetup is a critical component enabling LUKS-based (but not only) full disk encryption. Take the time to review the release notes. One of the highlight is that it is now possible to use hardware OPAL-based encryption of your disk with cryptsetup, it has a lot of caveats, see the above notes for the full details.

  • screen's module has been cleaned, and will now require you to set programs.screen.enable in order to populate screenrc and add the program to the environment.

  • linuxPackages_testing_bcachefs is now fully deprecated by linuxPackages_latest, and is therefore no longer available.

  • The default kernel package has been updated from 6.1 to 6.6. All supported kernels remain available.

  • NixOS now installs a stub ELF loader that prints an informative error message when users attempt to run binaries not made for NixOS.

    • This can be disabled through the environment.stub-ld.enable option.
    • If you use programs.nix-ld.enable, no changes are needed. The stub will be disabled automatically.

  • On flake-based NixOS configurations using nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem, NixOS will automatically set NIX_PATH and the system-wide flake registry (/etc/nix/registry.json) to point <nixpkgs> and the unqualified flake path nixpkgs to the version of nixpkgs used to build the system.

    This makes nix run nixpkgs#hello and nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A hello work out of the box with no added configuration, reusing dependencies already on the system.

    This may be undesirable if nix commands are not going to be run on the built system since it adds nixpkgs to the system closure. For such closure-size-constrained non-interactive systems, this setting should be disabled.

    To disable this, set nixpkgs.flake.setNixPath and nixpkgs.flake.setFlakeRegistry to false.

  • Julia environments can now be built with arbitrary packages from the ecosystem using the .withPackages function. For example: julia.withPackages ["Plots"].

  • The PipeWire and WirePlumber modules have removed support for using environment.etc."pipewire/..." and environment.etc."wireplumber/...". Use services.pipewire.extraConfig or services.pipewire.configPackages for PipeWire and services.pipewire.wireplumber.configPackages for WirePlumber instead."

  • A new option systemd.sysusers.enable was added. If enabled, users and groups are created with systemd-sysusers instead of with a custom perl script.

  • The default dbus implementation has transitioned to dbus-broker from the classic dbus daemon for better performance and reliability. Users can revert to the classic dbus daemon by setting services.dbus.implementation = "dbus";. For detailed deviations, refer to dbus-broker's deviations page.

  • A new option virtualisation.containers.cdi was added. It contains static and dynamic attributes (corresponding to /etc/cdi and /run/cdi respectively) to configure the Container Device Interface (CDI).

  • virtualisation.docker.enableNvidia and virtualisation.podman.enableNvidia options are deprecated. virtualisation.containers.cdi.dynamic.nvidia.enable should be used instead. This option will expose GPUs on containers with the --device CLI option. This is supported by Docker 25, Podman 3.2.0 and Singularity 4. Any container runtime that supports the CDI specification will take advantage of this feature.

  • A new option system.etc.overlay.enable was added. If enabled, /etc is mounted via an overlayfs instead of being created by a custom perl script.

  • NixOS AMIs are now uploaded regularly to a new AWS Account. Instructions on how to use them can be found on https://nixos.github.io/amis. We are working on integration the data into the NixOS homepage. The list in nixos/modules/virtualisation/amazon-ec2-amis.nix will stop being updated and will be removed in the future.

  • It is now possible to have a completely perlless system (i.e. a system without perl). Previously, the NixOS activation depended on two perl scripts which can now be replaced via an opt-in mechanism. To make your system perlless, you can use the new perlless profile:

    { modulesPath, ... }: {
  imports = [ "${modulesPath}/profiles/perlless.nix" ];
}

  • The initial Incus LTS release (v6.0.x) is now available through virtualisation.incus as the default. Users who wish to continue using the non-LTS release will need to set virtualisation.incus.package = pkgs.incus. Stable release users are encouraged to stay on the LTS release as non-LTS releases will by default not be backported.

  • Canonical LXD has been upgraded to v5.21.x, an LTS release. The LTS release is now the only supported LXD release. Users are encouraged to migrate to Incus for better support on NixOS.

  • lua interpreters default LUA_PATH and LUA_CPATH are not overriden by nixpkgs anymore, we patch LUA_ROOT instead which is more respectful to upstream.

  • Plasma 6 is now available and can be installed with services.xserver.desktopManager.plasma6.enable = true;. Plasma 5 will likely be deprecated in the next release (24.11). Note that Plasma 6 runs as Wayland by default, and the X11 session needs to be explicitly selected if necessary.

  • The desktop mode of Lomiri (formerly known as Unity8), using Mir 2.x to function as a Wayland compositor, is now available and can be installed with services.desktopManager.lomiri.enable = true. Note that some core applications, services and indicators have yet to be packaged, and some functions may remain incomplete, but the base experience should be there.

New Services

Backward Incompatibilities

  • k3s: was updated to version v1.29, all previous versions (k3s_1_26, k3s_1_27, k3s_1_28) will be removed. See changelog and upgrade notes for more information.

  • himalaya was updated to v1.0.0-beta.3, which introduces breaking changes. Check out the release note for details.

  • The power.ups module now generates upsd.conf, upsd.users and upsmon.conf automatically from a set of new configuration options. This breaks compatibility with existing power.ups setups where these files were created manually. Back up these files before upgrading NixOS.

  • programs.nix-ld.libraries no longer sets baseLibraries via the option's default but in config and now merges any additional libraries with the default ones. This means that lib.mkForce must be used to clear the list of default libraries.

  • cudaPackages.autoAddOpenGLRunpathHook and cudaPackages.autoAddDriverRunpath have been deprecated for pkgs.autoAddDriverRunpath. Functionality has not changed, but the setuphook has been renamed and moved to the top-level package scope.

  • cudaPackages.autoFixElfFiles has been deprecated for pkgs.autoFixElfFiles. Functionality has not changed, but the setuphook has been renamed and moved to the top-level package scope.

  • pdns was updated to version v4.9.x, which introduces breaking changes. Check out the Upgrade Notes for details.

  • unrar was updated to v7. See changelog for more information.

  • git-town was updated from version 11 to 13. See the changelog for breaking changes.

  • k9s was updated to v0.31. There have been various breaking changes in the config file format, check out the changelog of v0.29, v0.30 and v0.31 for details. It is recommended to back up your current configuration and let k9s recreate the new base configuration.

  • NixOS AMIs are now uploaded regularly to a new AWS Account. Instructions on how to use them can be found on https://nixos.github.io/amis. We are working on integration the data into the NixOS homepage. The list in nixos/modules/virtualisation/amazon-ec2-amis.nix will stop being updated and will be removed in the future.

  • The option services.postgresql.ensureUsers._.ensurePermissions has been removed as it's not declarative and is broken with newer postgresql versions. Consider using instead or a tool that's more suited for managing the data inside a postgresql database.

  • idris2 was updated to v0.7.0. This version introduces breaking changes. Check out the changelog for details.

  • nvtop family of packages was reorganized into nested attrset. nvtop has been renamed to nvtopPackages.full, and all nvtop-{amd,nvidia,intel,msm} packages are now named as nvtopPackages.{amd,nvidia,intel,msm}

  • neo4j has been updated to 5, you may want to read the release notes for Neo4j 5

  • services.neo4j.allowUpgrade was removed and no longer has any effect. Neo4j 5 supports automatic rolling upgrades.

  • unifiLTS, unifi5 and unifi6 have been removed, as they require MongoDB versions which are end-of-life. All these versions can be upgraded to unifi7 directly.

  • mongodb-4_4 has been removed as it has reached end of life. Consequently, unifi7 and unifi8 now use MongoDB 5.0 by default.

  • nitter requires a guest_accounts.jsonl to be provided as a path or loaded into the default location at /var/lib/nitter/guest_accounts.jsonl. See Guest Account Branch Deployment for details.

  • boot.supportedFilesystems and boot.initrd.supportedFilesystems are now attribute sets instead of lists. Assignment from lists as done previously is still supported, but checking whether a filesystem is enabled must now by done using supportedFilesystems.fs or false instead of using lib.elem "fs" supportedFilesystems as was done previously.

  • services.aria2.rpcSecret has been replaced with services.aria2.rpcSecretFile. This was done so that secrets aren't stored in the world-readable nix store. To migrate, you will have create a file with the same exact string, and change your module options to point to that file. For example, services.aria2.rpcSecret = "mysecret" becomes services.aria2.rpcSecretFile = "/path/to/secret_file" where the file secret_file contains the string mysecret.

  • openssh, openssh_hpn and openssh_gssapi are now compiled without support for the DSA signature algorithm as it is being deprecated upstream. Users still relying on DSA keys should consider upgrading to another signature algorithm. It is however possible, for the time being, to restore the DSA keys support using override to set dsaKeysSupport = true.

  • buildGoModule now throws error when vendorHash is not specified. vendorSha256, deprecated in Nixpkgs 23.11, is now ignored and is no longer a vendorHash alias.

  • Invidious has changed its default database username from kemal to invidious. Setups involving an externally provisioned database (i.e. services.invidious.database.createLocally == false) should adjust their configuration accordingly. The old kemal user will not be removed automatically even when the database is provisioned automatically.(https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/265857)

  • writeReferencesToFile is deprecated in favour of the new trivial build helper writeClosure. The latter accepts a list of paths and has an unambiguous name and cleaner implementation.

  • inetutils now has a lower priority to avoid shadowing the commonly used util-linux. If one wishes to restore the default priority, simply use lib.setPrio 5 inetutils or override with meta.priority = 5.

  • paperless' services.paperless.extraConfig setting has been removed and converted to the freeform type and option named services.paperless.settings.

  • davfs2' services.davfs2.extraConfig setting has been deprecated and converted to the freeform type option named services.davfs2.settings according to RFC42.

  • services.homepage-dashboard now takes it's configuration using native Nix expressions, rather than dumping templated configurations into /var/lib/homepage-dashboard where they were previously managed manually. There are now new options which allow the configuration of bookmarks, services, widgets and custom CSS/JS natively in Nix.

  • hare may now be cross-compiled. For that to work, however, haredoc needed to stop being built together with it. Thus, the latter is now its own package with the name of haredoc.

  • The legacy and long deprecated systemd target network-interfaces.target has been removed. Use network.target instead.

  • azure-cli now has extension support. For example, to install the aks-preview extension, use

    environment.systemPackages = [
  (azure-cli.withExtensions [ azure-cli.extensions.aks-preview ]);
];

    To make the azure-cli immutable and prevent clashes in case azure-cli is also installed via other package managers, some configuration files were moved into the derivation. This can be disabled by overriding withImmutableConfig = false when building azure-cli.

  • services.frp.settings now generates the frp configuration file in TOML format as recommended by upstream, instead of the legacy INI format. This has also introduced other changes in the configuration file structure and options.

    • The settings.common section in the configuration is no longer valid and all the options form inside it now goes directly under settings.
    • The _ separating words in the configuration options is removed so the options are now in camel case. For example: server_addr becomes serverAddr, server_port becomes serverPort etc.
    • Proxies are now defined with a new option settings.proxies which takes a list of proxies.
    • Consult the upstream documentation for more details on the changes.

  • mkosi was updated to v20. Parts of the user interface have changed. Consult the release notes of v19 and v20 for a list of changes.

  • The services.vikunja systemd service now uses vikunja as dynamic user instead of vikunja-api. Database users might need to be changed.

  • The services.vikunja.setupNginx setting has been removed. Users now need to setup the webserver configuration on their own with a proxy pass to the vikunja service.

  • The woodpecker-* packages have been updated to v2 which includes breaking changes.

  • services.nginx will no longer advertise HTTP/3 availability automatically. This must now be manually added, preferably to each location block. Example:

    {
  locations."/".extraConfig = ''
    add_header Alt-Svc 'h3=":$server_port"; ma=86400';
  '';
  locations."^~ /assets/".extraConfig = ''
    add_header Alt-Svc 'h3=":$server_port"; ma=86400';
  '';
}

  • The package optparse-bash is now dropped due to upstream inactivity. Alternatives available in Nixpkgs include argc, argbash, bashly and gum, to name a few.

  • The kanata package has been updated to v1.5.0, which includes breaking changes.

  • The craftos-pc package has been updated to v2.8, which includes breaking changes.

    • Files are now handled in binary mode; this could break programs with embedded UTF-8 characters.
    • The ROM was updated to match ComputerCraft version v1.109.2.
    • The bundled Lua was updated to Lua v5.2, which includes breaking changes. See the Lua manual for more information.
    • The WebSocket API was rewritten, which introduced breaking changes.

  • The gtest package has been updated past v1.13.0, which requires C++14 or higher.

  • The latest available version of Nextcloud is v28 (available as pkgs.nextcloud28). The installation logic is as follows:

  • The vendored third party libraries have been mostly removed from cudaPackages.nsight_systems, which we now only ship for cudaPackages_11_8 and later due to outdated dependencies. Users comfortable with the vendored dependencies may use overrideAttrs to amend the postPatch phase and the meta.broken correspondingly. Alternatively, one could package the deprecated boost170 locally, as required for cudaPackages_11_4.nsight_systems.

  • The cudaPackages package scope has been updated to cudaPackages_12.

  • The deprecated cudaPackages.cudatoolkit has been replaced with a symlink-based wrapper for the splayed redistributable CUDA packages. The wrapper only includes tools and libraries necessary to build common packages like e.g. tensorflow. The original runfile-based cudatoolkit is still available as cudatoolkit-legacy-runfile.

  • The halloy package was updated past 2024.5 which introduced a breaking change by switching the config format from YAML to TOML. See https://github.com/squidowl/halloy/releases/tag/2024.5 for details.

  • Ada packages (libraries and tools) have been moved into the gnatPackages scope. gnatPackages uses the default GNAT compiler, gnat12Packages and gnat13Packages use the respective matching compiler version.

  • spark2014 has been renamed to gnatprove. A version of gnatprove matching different GNAT versions is available from the different gnatPackages sets.

  • services.resolved.fallbackDns can now be used to disable the upstream fallback servers entirely by setting it to an empty list. To get the previous behaviour of the upstream defaults set it to null, the new default, instead.

  • services.hledger-web.capabilities options has been replaced by a new option services.hledger-web.allow.

    • allow = "view" means capabilities = { view = true; };
    • allow = "add" means capabilities = { view = true; add = true; };
    • allow = "edit" means capabilities = { view = true; add = true; edit = true };
    • allow = "sandstorm" reads permissions from the X-Sandstorm-Permissions request header.

  • xxd has been moved from vim default output to its own output to reduce closure size. The canonical way to reference it across all platforms is unixtools.xxd.

  • The stalwart-mail package has been updated to v0.5.3, which includes breaking changes.

  • services.zope2 has been removed as zope2 is unmaintained and was relying on Python2.

  • services.avahi.nssmdns got split into services.avahi.nssmdns4 and services.avahi.nssmdns6 which enable the mDNS NSS switch for IPv4 and IPv6 respectively. Since most mDNS responders only register IPv4 addresses, most users want to keep the IPv6 support disabled to avoid long timeouts.

  • A warning has been added for services that are after = [ "network-online.target" ] but do not depend on it (e.g. using wants), because the dependency that multi-user.target has on network-online.target is planned for removal.

  • services.pgbouncer now has systemd support enabled and will log to journald. The default setting for services.pgbouncer.logFile is now null to disable logging to a separate log file.

  • services.archisteamfarm no longer uses the abbreviation asf for its state directory (/var/lib/asf), user and group (both asf). Instead the long name archisteamfarm is used. Configurations with system.stateVersion 23.11 or earlier, default to the old stateDirectory until the 24.11 release and must either set the option explicitly or move the data to the new directory.

  • xfsprogs was updated to version 6.6.0, which enables reverse mapping (rmapbt) and large extent counts (nrext64) by default. Support for these features was added in kernel 4.9 and 5.19 and nrext64 was deemed stable in kernel 6.5. Format your filesystems with mkfs.xfs -i nrext64=0, if they need to be readable by GRUB2 before 2.12 or kernels older than 5.19.

  • networking.iproute2.enable now does not set environment.etc."iproute2/rt_tables".text.

    Setting environment.etc."iproute2/{CONFIG_FILE_NAME}".text will override the whole configuration file instead of appending it to the upstream configuration file.

    CONFIG_FILE_NAME includes bpf_pinning, ematch_map, group, nl_protos, rt_dsfield, rt_protos, rt_realms, rt_scopes, and rt_tables.

  • netbox was updated to v3.7. services.netbox.package still defaults to v3.6 if stateVersion is earlier than 24.05. Refer to upstream's breaking changes for v3.7.0 and upgrade NetBox by changing services.netbox.package. Database migrations will be run automatically.

  • The executable file names for firefox-devedition, firefox-beta, firefox-esr now matches their package names, which is consistent with the firefox-*-bin packages. The desktop entries are also updated so that you can have multiple editions of firefox in your app launcher.

  • switch-to-configuration does not directly call systemd-tmpfiles anymore. Instead, the new artificial sysinit-reactivation.target is introduced which allows to restart multiple services that are ordered before sysinit.target and respect the ordering between the services.

  • The systemd.oomd module behavior is changed as:

    • Raise ManagedOOMMemoryPressureLimit from 50% to 80%. This should make systemd-oomd kill things less often, and fix issues like this. Reference: commit

    • Remove swap policy. This helps prevent killing processes when user's swap is small.

    • Expand the memory pressure policy to system.slice, user-.slice, and all user owned slices. Reference: commit

    • systemd.oomd.enableUserServices is renamed to systemd.oomd.enableUserSlices.

  • security.pam.enableSSHAgentAuth now requires services.openssh.authorizedKeysFiles to be non-empty, which is the case when services.openssh.enable is true. Previously, pam_ssh_agent_auth silently failed to work.

  • The configuration format for services.prometheus.exporters.snmp changed with release 0.23.0. The module now includes an optional config check, that is enabled by default, to make the change obvious before any deployment. More information about the configuration syntax change is available in the upstream repository.

  • watchdogd, a system and process supervisor using watchdog timers. Available as services.watchdogd.

  • The jdt-language-server package now uses upstream's provided python wrapper instead of our own custom wrapper. This results in the following breaking and notable changes:

    • The main binary for the package is now named jdtls instead of jdt-language-server, equivalent to what most editors expect the binary to be named.

    • JVM arguments should now be provided with the --jvm-arg flag instead of setting JAVA_OPTS.

    • The -data path is no longer required to run the package, and will be set to point to a folder in $TMP if missing.

  • nomad has been updated - note that HashiCorp recommends updating one minor version at a time. Please check their upgrade guide for information on safely updating clusters and potential breaking changes.

    • nomad is now Nomad 1.7.x.

    • nomad_1_4 has been removed, as it is now unsupported upstream.

  • The livebook package is now built as a mix release instead of an escript. This means that configuration now has to be done using environment variables instead of command line arguments. This has the further implication that the livebook service configuration has changed:

  • The erlang_node_short_name, erlang_node_name, port and options configuration parameters are gone, and have been replaced with an environment parameter. Use the appropriate environment variables inside environment to configure the service instead.

  • akkoma now requires explicitly setting the base URL for uploaded media (settings."Pleroma.Upload".base_url), as well as for the media proxy if enabled (settings."Media"). This is recommended to be a separate (sub)domain to the one Akkoma is hosted at. See here for more details.

  • The crystal package has been updated to 1.11.x, which has some breaking changes. Refer to crystal's changelog for more information. (v1.10, v1.11)

  • The erlang-ls package no longer ships the els_dap binary as of v0.51.0.

Other Notable Changes

  • addDriverRunpath has been added to facilitate the deprecation of the old addOpenGLRunpath setuphook. This change is motivated by the evolution of the setuphook to include all hardware acceleration.

  • Cinnamon has been updated to 6.0. Please beware that the Wayland session is still experimental in this release and could potentially affect Xorg sessions. We suggest a reboot when switching between sessions.

  • MATE has been updated to 1.28.

    • To properly support panel plugins built with Wayland (in-process) support, we are introducing services.xserver.desktopManager.mate.extraPanelApplets option, please use that for installing panel applets.
    • Similarly, please use services.xserver.desktopManager.mate.extraCajaExtensions option for installing Caja extensions.
    • To use the Wayland session, enable services.xserver.desktopManager.mate.enableWaylandSession. This is opt-in for now as it is in early stage and introduces a new set of Wayfire closure. Due to known issues with LightDM, we suggest using SDDM for display manager.

  • The Budgie module installs gnome-terminal by default (instead of mate-terminal).

  • New boot.loader.systemd-boot.xbootldrMountPoint allows setting up a separate XBOOTLDR partition to store boot files. Useful on systems with a small EFI System partition that cannot be easily repartitioned.

  • boot.loader.systemd-boot will now verify that efiSysMountPoint (and xbootldrMountPoint if configured) are mounted partitions.

  • services.postgresql.extraPlugins changed its type from just a list of packages to also a function that returns such a list. For example a config line like services.postgresql.extraPlugins = with pkgs.postgresql_11.pkgs; [ postgis ]; is recommended to be changed to services.postgresql.extraPlugins = ps: with ps; [ postgis ];;

  • The Matrix homeserver Synapse module now supports configuring UNIX domain socket listeners through the path option. The default replication worker on the main instance has been migrated away from TCP sockets to UNIX domain sockets.

  • The initrd ssh daemon module got a new option to add authorized keys via a list of files using boot.initrd.network.ssh.authorizedKeyFiles.

  • Programs written in Nim are built with libraries selected by lockfiles. The nimPackages and nim2Packages sets have been removed. See https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/unstable#nim for more information.

  • Programs written in D using the dub build system and package manager can now be built using buildDubPackage utilizing lockfiles provided by the new dub-to-nix helper program. See the D section in the manual for more information.

  • Portunus has been updated to major version 2. This version of Portunus supports strong password hashes, but the legacy hash SHA-256 is also still supported to ensure a smooth migration of existing user accounts. After upgrading, follow the instructions on the upstream release notes to upgrade all user accounts to strong password hashes. Support for weak password hashes will be removed in NixOS 24.11.

  • A stdenv's default set of hardening flags can now be set via its bintools-wrapper's defaultHardeningFlags argument. A convenient stdenv adapter, withDefaultHardeningFlags, can be used to override an existing stdenv's defaultHardeningFlags.

  • libass now uses the native CoreText backend on Darwin, which may fix subtitle rendering issues with mpv, ffmpeg, etc.

  • Lilypond and Denemo are now compiled with Guile 3.0.

  • Garage has been updated to v1.x.x. Users should read the upstream release notes and follow the documentation when changing over their services.garage.package and performing this manual upgrade.

  • The EC2 image module now enables the Amazon SSM Agent by default.

  • The following options of the Nextcloud module were moved into services.nextcloud.settings and renamed to match the name from Nextcloud's config.php:

  • The option [services.nextcloud.config.dbport] of the Nextcloud module was removed to match upstream. The port can be specified in services.nextcloud.config.dbhost.

  • A new abstraction to create both read-only as well as writable overlay file systems was added. Available via fileSystems.overlay. See also the NixOS docs.

  • systemd units can now specify the Upholds= and UpheldBy= unit dependencies via the aptly named upholds and upheldBy options. These options get systemd to enforce that the dependencies remain continuosly running for as long as the dependent unit is in a running state.

  • stdenv: The --replace flag in substitute, substituteInPlace, substituteAll, substituteAllStream, and substituteStream is now deprecated if favor of the new --replace-fail, --replace-warn and --replace-quiet. The deprecated --replace equates to --replace-warn.

  • A new hardening flag, zerocallusedregs was made available, corresponding to the gcc/clang option -fzero-call-used-regs=used-gpr.

  • A new hardening flag, trivialautovarinit was made available, corresponding to the gcc/clang option -ftrivial-auto-var-init=pattern.

  • New options were added to the dnsdist module to enable and configure a DNSCrypt endpoint (see services.dnsdist.dnscrypt.enable, etc.). The module can generate the DNSCrypt provider key pair, certificates and also performs their rotation automatically with no downtime.

  • With a bump to sonarr v4, existing config database files will be upgraded automatically, but note that some old apparently-working configs might actually be corrupt and fail to upgrade cleanly.

  • The Yama LSM is now enabled by default in the kernel, which prevents ptracing non-child processes. This means you will not be able to attach gdb to an existing process, but will need to start that process from gdb (so it is a child). Or you can set boot.kernel.sysctl."kernel.yama.ptrace_scope" to 0.

  • The netbird module now allows running multiple tunnels in parallel through services.netbird.tunnels.

  • Nginx virtual hosts using forceSSL or globalRedirect can now have redirect codes other than 301 through

  • bacula now allows to configure TLS for encrypted communication.

    redirectCode.

  • libjxl 0.9.0 dropped support for the butteraugli API. You will no longer be able to set enableButteraugli on libaom.

  • The source of the mockgen package has changed to the go.uber.org/mock fork because the original repository is no longer maintained.

  • security.pam.enableSSHAgentAuth was renamed to security.pam.sshAgentAuth.enable and an authorizedKeysFiles option was added, to control which authorized_keys files are trusted. It defaults to the previous behaviour, which is insecure: see #31611.

  • changed from a string to an integer because of the addition of a custom merge option (taking the highest value defined to avoid conflicts between 2 services trying to set that value), just as since 22.11.

  • A new top-level package set, pkgsExtraHardening is added. This is a set of packages built with stricter hardening flags - those that have not yet received enough testing to be applied universally, those that are more likely to cause build failures or those that have drawbacks to their use (e.g. performance or required hardware features).

  • services.zfs.zed.enableMail now uses the global sendmail wrapper defined by an email module (such as msmtp or Postfix). It no longer requires using a special ZFS build with email support.

  • castopod has some migration actions to be taken in case of a S3 setup. Some new features may also need some manual migration actions. See https://code.castopod.org/adaures/castopod/-/releases for more informations.

  • nextcloud-setup.service no longer changes the group of each file & directory inside /var/lib/nextcloud/{config,data,store-apps} if one of these directories has the wrong owner group. This was part of transitioning the group used for /var/lib/nextcloud, but isn't necessary anymore.

  • services.kavita now uses the freeform option services.kavita.settings for the application settings file. The options services.kavita.ipAdresses and services.kavita.port now exist at services.kavita.settings.IpAddresses and services.kavita.settings.IpAddresses. The file at services.kavita.tokenKeyFile now needs to contain a secret with 512+ bits instead of 128+ bits.

  • The krb5 module has been rewritten and moved to security.krb5, moving all options but security.krb5.enable and security.krb5.package into security.krb5.settings.

  • services.soju now has a wrapper for the sojuctl command, pointed at the service config file. It also has the new option adminSocket.enable, which creates a unix admin socket at /run/soju/admin.

  • Gitea 1.21 upgrade has several breaking changes, including:

    • Custom themes and other assets that were previously stored in custom/public/* now belong in custom/public/assets/*
    • New instances of Gitea using MySQL now ignore the [database].CHARSET config option and always use the utf8mb4 charset, existing instances should migrate via the gitea doctor convert CLI command.

  • The services.paperless module no longer uses the previously downloaded NLTK data stored in /var/cache/paperless/nltk. This directory can be removed.

  • The services.teeworlds module now has a wealth of configuration options, including a new package option.

  • The hardware.pulseaudio module now sets permission of pulse user home directory to 755 when running in "systemWide" mode. It fixes issue 114399.

  • The module services.github-runner has been removed. To configure a single GitHub Actions Runner refer to services.github-runners.*. Note that this will trigger a new runner registration.

  • The services.slskd has been refactored to include more configuation options in the freeform services.slskd.settings option, and some defaults (including listen ports) have been changed to match the upstream defaults. Additionally, disk logging is now disabled by default, and the log rotation timer has been removed. The nginx virtualhost option is now of the vhost-options type.

  • The btrbk module now automatically selects and provides required compression program depending on the configured stream_compress option. Since this replaces the need for the extraPackages option, this option will be deprecated in future releases.

  • The mpich package expression now requires withPm to be a list, e.g. "hydra:gforker" becomes [ "hydra" "gforker" ].

  • When merging systemd unit options (of type unitOption), if at least one definition is a list, all those which aren't are now lifted into a list, making it possible to accumulate definitions without resorting to mkForce, hence to retain the definitions not anticipating that need.

  • YouTrack is bumped to 2023.3. The update is not performed automatically, it requires manual interaction. See the YouTrack section in the manual for details.

  • QtMultimedia has changed its default backend to QT_MEDIA_BACKEND=ffmpeg (previously gstreamer on Linux or darwin on MacOS). The previous native backends remain available but are now minimally maintained. Refer to upstream documentation for further details about each platform.

  • The drbd out-of-tree Linux kernel driver has been added in version 9.2.7. With it the DRBD 9.x features can be used instead of the 8.x features provided by the 8.4.11 in-tree driver.

  • The oil shell's c++ version is now available as oils-for-unix. The python version is still available as oil

  • documentation.man.mandoc now by default uses MANPATH to set the directories where mandoc will search for manual pages. This enables mandoc to find manual pages in Nix profiles. To set the manual search paths via the mandoc.conf configuration file like before, use documentation.man.mandoc.settings.manpath instead.

  • The grafana-loki package was updated to 3.0.0 which includes breaking changes
