The following configuration generates a systemd unit that doesn't
start.
```nix
{
services.syncthing = {
enable = true;
user = "my-user";
};
}
```
It fails with
```
systemd[1]: Started Syncthing service.
systemd[6745]: syncthing.service: Failed to determine group credentials: No such process
systemd[6745]: syncthing.service: Failed at step GROUP spawning /nix/store/n1ydz3i08nqp1ajc50ycy1zribmphqc9-syncthing-1.1.4-bin/bin/syncthing: No such process
systemd[1]: syncthing.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=216/GROUP
systemd[1]: syncthing.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
```
This is due to the fact that `syncthing` group (default) is not
created if the user is overridden.
Add a separate check for setting up the default group, so that
user/group are created independently.
Upstream switched to a different type of ipset table, whereas we
create ipset in post-start which overrides upstream, and renders
sshguard ineffective.
Remove ipset creation from post-start, and let it get automatically
by upstream script (sshg-fw-ipset) as part of startup
The default for logFile is /var/log/couchdb.log, and the tmpfile rules chown
${dirOf cfg.logFile}, which is just /var/log, to couchdb:couchdb.
This was found by Edes' report on IRC, which looked like
Detected unsafe path transition /var/log → /var/log/journal during canonicalization of /var/log/journal
While this bug has been present since the initial couchdb module in
62438c09f7 by @garbas, this wasn't a
problem, because the initial module only created and chowned /var/log
if it didn't exist yet, which can't occur because this gets created in
the initial phases of NixOS startup.
However with the recent move from manual preStart chown scripts to
systemd.tmpfiles.rules in 062efe018d (#59389),
this chown is suddenly running unconditionally at every system
activation, therefore triggering the above error.
Regression I caused with 3944aa051c, sorry
for this! The Nextcloud installer broke back then because
`trusted_domains` was an empty value by default (a.k.a an empty array)
which seemed to break the config merger of Nextcloud as Nextcloud
doesn't do recursive merging and now no domain was trusted because of
that, hence Nextcloud was unreachable for the `curl` call.
One of the main problems of the Nextcloud module is that it's currently
not possible to alter e.g. database configuration after the initial
setup as it's written by their imperative installer to a file.
After some research[1] it turned out that it's possible to override all values
with an additional config file. The documentation has been
slightly updated to remain up-to-date, but the warnings should
remain there as the imperative configuration is still used and may cause
unwanted side-effects.
Also simplified the postgresql test which uses `ensure{Databases,Users}` to
configure the database.

Since version 3.0 all allowed IPs and subnets are exposed by the
exporter. With `-s` set on the CLI, instead of a comma-separated list,
each allowed IP and subnet will be in a single field with the schema
`allowed_ip_<index>`.
Introduce a new .plasma5.phononBackend option. Default value
"gstreamer" installs the same packages as before. "vlc" installs
only the vlc phonon backend.
In commit d43dc68db3, @Mic92 split the
rootpw option to allow specifying it in a file kept outside the Nix
store, as an alternative to specifying the password directly in the
config.
Prior to that, rootpw's type was `str`, but in order to allow both
alternatives, it had to become `nullOr str` with a default of `null`. So
I can see why this assertion, that either rootpw or rootpwFile are
specified, makes sense to add here.
However, these options aren't used if the configDir option is set, so as
written this assertion breaks valid configurations, including the
configuration used by nixos/tests/ldap.nix.
So this patch fixes the assertion so that it doesn't fire if configDir
is set.
The old open-source driver for AMD/ATI GPUs is commonly known as "radeon"
despite the historical package name xf86-video-ati. For example it presents
itself as RADEON in the Xorg log. So adding "radeon" to videoDrivers should
work.
Also changed the docs for the videoDrivers option to use "radeon" in the
default value instead of "ati".
Fixes#37917
This is a refactor of how resolvconf is managed on NixOS. We split it
into a separate service which is enabled internally depending on whether
we want /etc/resolv.conf to be managed by it. Various services now take
advantage of those configuration options.
We also now use systemd instead of activation scripts to update
resolv.conf.
NetworkManager now uses the right option for rc-manager DNS
automatically, so the configuration option shouldn't be exposed.
The new option services.postfix.localRecipients allows
configuring the postfix option 'local_recipient_maps'. When
set to a list of user names (or patterns), that map
effectively replaces the lookup in the system's user
database that's used by default to determine which local
users are valid.
This option is useful to explicitly set local users that are
allowed to receive e-mail from the outside world. For local
injection i.e. via the 'sendmail' command this option has no
effect.
We were already creating a group for the user under which to run syncthing but
we were defaulting to running as `nogroup`.
Additionally, use `install` instead of multiple calls to mkdir/cp/chown.
NixOS usually needs nscd just to have a single place where
LD_LIBRARY_PATH can be set to include all NSS modules, but nscd is also
useful if some of the NSS modules need to read files which are only
accessible by root.
For example, nixos/modules/config/ldap.nix needs this when
users.ldap.enable = true;
users.ldap.daemon.enable = false;
and users.ldap.bind.passwordFile exists. In that case, the module
creates an /etc/ldap.conf which is only readable by root, but which the
NSS module needs to read in order to find out what LDAP server to
connect to and with what credentials.
If nscd is started as root and configured with the server-user option in
nscd.conf, then it gives each NSS module the opportunity to initialize
itself before dropping privileges. The initialization happens in the
glibc-internal __nss_disable_nscd function, which pre-loads all the
configured NSS modules for passwd, group, hosts, and services (but not
netgroup for some reason?) and, for each loaded module, calls an init
function if one is defined. After that finishes, nscd's main() calls
nscd_init() which ends by calling finish_drop_privileges().
There are provisions in systemd for using DynamicUser with a service
which needs to drop privileges itself, so this patch does that.
Until now the startup failed with an error like this:
```
com.github.joschi.jadconfig.ValidationException: Parent path /var/lib/graylog/server for Node ID file at /var/lib/graylog/server/node-id is not a directory
```
This happens since `graylog.service` ensures that `/var/lib/graylog`
exists, however it doesn't take care of the directory for
`cfg.nodeIdFile`.
Thanks to @arianvp for pointing out that when DynamicUser is true,
systemd defaults the value of User to be the name of the unit, which in
this case is already "nscd".
These options were being set to the same value as the defaults that are
hardcoded in nscd. Delete them so it's clear which settings are actually
important for NixOS.
One exception is `threads 1`, which is different from the built-in
default of 4. However, both values are equivalent because nscd forces
the number of threads to be at least as many as the number of kinds of
databases it supports, which is 5.
nscd doesn't create any files outside of /run/nscd unless the nscd.conf
"persistent" option is used, which we don't do by default. Therefore it
doesn't matter what UID/GID we run this service as, so long as it isn't
shared with any other running processes.
/run/nscd does need to be owned by the same UID that the service is
running as, but systemd takes care of that for us thanks to the
RuntimeDirectory directive.
If someone wants to turn on the "persistent" option, they need to
manually configure users.users.nscd and systemd.tmpfiles.rules so that
/var/db/nscd is owned by the same user that nscd runs as.
In an all-defaults boot.isContainer configuration of NixOS, this removes
the only user which did not have a pre-assigned UID.
Previously this module created both /var/db/nscd and /run/nscd using
shell commands in a preStart script. Note that both of these paths are
hard-coded in the nscd source. (Well, the latter is actually
/var/run/nscd but /var/run is a symlink to /run so it works out the
same.)
/var/db/nscd is only used if the nscd.conf "persistent" option is turned
on for one or more databases, which it is not in our default config
file. I'm not even sure persistent mode can work under systemd, since
`nscd --shutdown` is not synchronous so systemd will always
unceremoniously kill nscd without reliably giving it time to mark the
databases as unused. Nonetheless, if someone wants to use that option,
they can ensure the directory exists using systemd.tmpfiles.rules.
systemd can create /run/nscd for us with the RuntimeDirectory directive,
with the added benefit of causing systemd to delete the directory on
service stop or restart. The default value of RuntimeDirectoryMode is
755, the same as the mode which this module was using before.
I don't think the `rm -f /run/nscd/nscd.pid` was necessary after NixOS
switched to systemd and used its PIDFile directive, because systemd
deletes the specified file after the service stops, and because the file
can't persist across reboots since /run is a tmpfs. Even if the file
still exists when nscd starts, it's only a problem if the pid it
contains has been reused by another process, which is unlikely. Anyway,
this change makes that deletion even less necessary, because now systemd
deletes the entire /run/nscd directory when the service stops.
This postStart step was introduced on 2014-04-24 with the comment that
"Nscd forks into the background before it's ready to accept
connections."
However, that was fixed upstream almost two months earlier, on
2014-03-03, with the comment that "This, along with setting the nscd
service type to forking in its systemd configuration file, allows
systemd to be certain that the nscd service is ready and is accepting
connections."
The fix was released several months later in glibc 2.20, which was
merged in NixOS sometime before 15.09, so it certainly should be safe to
remove this workaround by now.
Add an option to set the rc-manager parameter in NetworkManager.conf,
which controls how NetworkManager handles resolv.conf. This sets the
default rc-manager to "resolvconf", which solves #61490. It
additionally allows the user to change rc-manager without interference
from configuration activations.
This commit adds new options to the Deluge service:
- Allow configuration of the user/group which runs the deluged daemon.
- Allow configuration of the user/group which runs the deluge web

- Allow opening firewall for the deluge web daemon.
The override that builds the custom python for integrations-core was
overriding python, but pythonPackages was still being inherited from a
call to `datadog-integrations-core {}`, causing
service.datadog-agent.extraIntegrations to be ignored.
This commit adds new configuration options to the Lidarr module that
allows configuration of the user and group that Lidarr runs as; and to

There are many support questions when people add a new binary cache
and they suddenly lose nixos substitutions.
Most of the users want to keep that, so we're doing a breaking change.
Previously to disable all binary caches one had to do:
nix.binaryCache = [];
Now the same is possible via:
nix.binaryCache = lib.mkForce;
Applies OpenWRT's noscan patch to hostapd and the relevant option to
the hostapd module.
This noscan patch adds a new `noscan` option allowing us to create
some overlapping BSSs in HT40+/- mode.
Note: this option is disabled by default, we leave this up to the end
user whether it should be enabled or not.
Not being able to create those overlapping BSSs is basically
preventing us to use 802.11n in any urban area where chances to
overlap with another SSID are extremely high.
The patch we are using is a courtesy of the openwrt team and is
applied to the defaul hostapd package in both OpenWRT and Archlinux.
This is just usbguard without the Qt GUI that brings in Qt dependencies.
Remove pandoc to reduce closure size. The usbguard build appears to
use it only for spell checking.
Remove asciidoctor because 0.7.1 switched to asciidoc. But don't add
a dependency on asciidoc, because that causes the build fails on
external DTDs.
The change to "NixOS Test Cluster" in #59179 broke startup of existing clusters

Fixes#63388.

The issue was just a small error because of an unbalanced <literal/>

This enhances #61423, which removed the gating of desktop-managers from
being linked to the xserver's state.
This, though, brought in xterm into all systems, even those without X
servers.
This change sets the *default* of the xterm desktop-manager to the state
of the xserver, keeping it enabled by default as a sane fallback.
The xterm desktop-manager can still be enabled or disabled as needed,
without it being affected by xserver's state.
This is a simple exporter which exports the information
provided by `wg show all dump` to prometheus.
