"batch" is a shell script so invoking it via setuid wrapper never worked
anyway. (The kernel drops perms on executables with shebang.) A previous
nixpkgs commit made "batch" invoke the NixOS setuid "at" wrapper to gain
needed privileges.
Thanks to @yesbox for noticing.
Commit 987aac7 and issue #18183 were intended to fix support for other
things, but in the process, changed mdns_minimal to use the wrong return
setting, resulting in permanent failures in early boot, affecting things
like issue #30459.

-s, --script: never prompts for user intervention
Sometimes the NixOS installer tests fail when they invoke parted, e.g.
https://hydra.nixos.org/build/62513826/nixlog/1. But instead of exiting
right there, the tests hang until the Nix builder times out (and kills
the build). With this change the tests would instead fail immediately,
which is preferred.
While at it, use "parted --script" treewide, so nobody gets build
timeout due to parted error (or misuse). (Only nixos/ use it, and only
non-interactive.)
A few instances already use the short option "-s", convert them to long
option "--short".
When autoFormat is enabled, in order to successfully create a filesystem,
certain filesystems require specific options to be passed to mkfs to prevent
it from asking questions. This commit sets default formatOptions to "-q"
for "jfs" and "reiserfs" filesystems for this purpose.
Resolves#29140.
The submodule of the "docker-containers" option isn't recognized as a
proper submodule and thus neither properly type-checks nor are its
options included in the manual.

Regression introduced by 801c920e95.
Since then, the btrfsSimple subtest of the installer VM test fails with:
Btrfs did not return a path for the subvolume at /
The reason for this is that the output for "btrfs subvol show" has
changed between version 4.8.2 and 4.13.1.
For example the output of "btrfs subvol show /" in version 4.8.2 was:
/ is toplevel subvolume
In version 4.13.1, the output now is the following and thus the regular
expressions used in nixos-generate-config.pl and install-grub.pl now
match (which results in the error mentioned above):
/
Name: <FS_TREE>
UUID: -
Parent UUID: -
Received UUID: -
Creation time: -
Subvolume ID: 5
Generation: 287270
Gen at creation: 0
Parent ID: 0
Top level ID: 0
Flags: -
Snapshot(s):
In order to fix this I've changed nixos-generate-config.pl and
install-grub.pl, because both use "btrfs subvol show" in a similar vein,
so the regex for parsing the output now doesn't match anymore whenever
the volume path is "/", which should result in the same behaviour as we
had with btrfs-progs version 4.8.2.
Tested against the btrfsSimple, btrfsSubvols and btrfsSubvolDefault
subtests of the installer VM test and they all succeed now.

The output of ./configure shows all modules/plugins, both enabled and
disabled. With this info we can finally build the _complete_ list of
modules. We were missing these:
mod_authn_gssapi
mod_authn_ldap
mod_geoip
(I hit this as I was building lighttpd with ldap support and the NixOS
module said ldap was unsupported, due to these missing entries in
allKnownModules.)
powertop attempt to load some kernel modules like msr by calling
modprobe. This is the counterpart to
88e43eb39b which has the powertop
executable search PATH for modprobe rather than hardcoding /sbin, and
actually adds the directory containing modprobe to its PATH for the
systemd service.
* Safer defaults for immutable znc config
I just lost all the options I configured in ZNC, because the mutable config was overwritten.
I accept any suggestions on the way to implement this, but overwriting a mutable config by default seems weird. If we want to do this, we should ensure that ZNC does not allow to edit the config via the webmin when cfg.mutable is false.
* Do not backup old config files.
There seems to be little need for backups if mutable becomes a voluntary opt-out.
* fixup
* the keyboard modules in all-hardware.nix are already defaults of
boot.initrd.availableKernelModules
* ide modules, hid_lenovo_tpkbd and scsi_wait_scan have been removed
because they're not available anymore
* i8042 was a duplicate (see few lines abowe)
All available options were just enabling
hardware.enableRedistributableFirmware. There were nix files without
modules which weren't referenced anywhere.
Container config example code mentions `postgresql` service, but the correct use of that service involves setting `system.stateVersion` option (as discovered in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/30056).
The actual system state version is set randomly to 17.03 because I have no preferences here
The current `remotes` option is a string option containing nullmailer remote
definitions. However, those definitions may contain secret credentials and
should therefore not be put world-readable in the nix store.
I added a `remotesFile` option, which allows to specify a path to the remotes
definition file instead. This way, the definitions can be kept outside of the
nix store with more secure file permissions.
We now wait for dhcpcd to acquire a lease but dhcpcd is restarted on
system activation. As wpa_supplicant is stopped while dhcpcd is
restarting a significant delay is introduced on systems with wireless
network connections only. This changes the wpa_supplicant service to
also be restarted together with dhcpcd in case both services were
changed.
This reverts commit 0c81594a29.
It's no longer needed since systemd-vconsole-setup enumerates all ttys
until it finds a suitable one since systemd v234.
The current version is broken:
- there's no `openFirewall` attribute directly in the `cfg` set
- the `port` option is an attribute of the `confOptions` set
I used the proper attribute for the firewall port and moved the `openFirewall`
option directly up to the `services.znc` set, as it's rather a general option
for the whole service than a znc-specific option (which are located inside the
`confOptions` set).
This introduces dependency cycles.
A network file system to be running is not required for a network
connection to be available.

* Grants enough privileges to the configured user so that it can run
mysqldump.
* Adds a nixos test.
* Use systemd timers instead of a cronjob (by @fadenb).
* Creates a new user for backups by default, instead of using mysql
user.
* Ensures that backup user has write permissions on backup location.
* Write backup to a temporary file before renaming so that a failed
backup won't overwrite the previous backup, and so that the backup
location will never contain a partial backup.
Breaking changes:
* Renamed period to calendar to reflect the change in how to
configure the backup time.
* A failed backup will no longer result in cron sending an e-mail --
users' monitoring systems must be updated.
Resolves#24728
Spamassassin expects its system-wide configuration at /etc/spamassassin, and
some user tools (like sa-learn) need to read those configuration files.
Therefore, we provide a symlink from /etc/spamassassin to the appropriate Nix
store path to make sure those tools work without the user having to pass an
elaborate --siteconfig path that, potentially, changes every time the system
updates.
Fixes https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/29414.
Sometimes (especially in the default route case) it is required to NOT
add routes for all allowed IP ranges. One might run it's own custom
routing on-top of wireguard and only use the wireguard addresses to
exchange prefixes with the remote host.
Systemd is complaining that it can't delay the startup of device units.
We have a before dependency on the respective device unit for every
netdev service, which doesn't make any sense because we create the
actual interface in this service.
Previously, depending on the environment and the type of interface that
was created, the configured IPs of an interface wouldn't be applied on a
nixos-rebuild switch. It works after a reboot.
This patch ensures that the network-addresses service is started
either via the network-link service or if the networking target is
activated (i.e. on system activation).
Fixes#28474#16230.
* gnome3: only maintain single GNOME 3 package set
GNOME 3 was split into 3.10 and 3.12 in #2694. Unfortunately, we barely have the resources
to update a single version of GNOME. Maintaining multiple versions just does not make sense.
Additionally, it makes viewing history using most Git tools bothersome.
This commit renames `pkgs/desktops/gnome-3/3.24` to `pkgs/desktops/gnome-3`, removes
the config variable for choosing packageset (`environment.gnome3.packageSet`), updates
the hint in maintainer script, and removes the `gnome3_24` derivation from `all-packages.nix`.
Closes: #29329
* maintainers/scripts/gnome: Use fixed GNOME 3 directory
Since we now allow only a single GNOME 3 package set, specifying
the working directory is not necessary.
This commit sets the directory to `pkgs/desktops/gnome-3`.
