Kubernetes dashboard currently has cluster admin permissions,
which is not recommended.
- Renamed option "services.kubernetes.addons.dashboard.enableRBAC" to "services.kubernetes.addons.dashboard.rbac.enable"
- Added option "services.kubernetes.addons.dashboard.rbac.clusterAdmin", default = false.
- Setting recommended minimal permissions for the dashboard in accordance with https://github.com/kubernetes/dashboard/wiki/Installation
- Updated release note for 18.09.
- Added option 'cni.configDir' to allow for having CNI config outside of nix-store
Existing behavior (writing verbatim CNI conf-files to nix-store) is still available.
- Removed unused option 'apiserver.publicAddress' and changed 'apiserver.address' to 'bindAddress'
This conforms better to k8s docs and removes existing --bind-address hardcoding to 0.0.0.0
- Fixed c/p mistake in apiserver systemd unit description
- Updated 18.09 release notes to reflect changes to existing options
And fixed some typos from previous PR
- Make docker images for Kubernetes Dashboard and kube-dns configurable
The `zsh-autosuggestions` package provides several configuration options
such as a different highlight style (like `fg=cyan` which is easier to
read).
With `rename.nix` the old `programs.zsh.enableAutosuggestions` is still
functional, but yields the following warning like this during evaluation:
```
trace: warning: The option `programs.zsh.enableAutosuggestions' defined in `<unknown-file>' has been renamed to `programs.zsh.autosuggestions.enable'.
```
The module provides the most common `zsh-autosuggestions` (highlight
style and strategy) as options that will be written into the interactive
shell init (`/etc/zshrc` by default). Further configuration options can
be declared using the `extraConfig` attr set:
```
{
programs.zsh.autosuggestions.extraConfig = {
"ZSH_AUTOSUGGEST_BUFFER_MAX_SIZE" = "buffer_size";
};
}
```
A full list of available configuration options for `zsh-autosuggestions`
can be viewed here: https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions/blob/v0.4.3/README.md
Introduced in 286b007bd3 and then
in 2e6b796761.
This a proper fix for what 70c6f6572d tried to do.
Removing the "config" prefix triggers the bug on pure nixos too, not only
on nixops.
a) Some providers can update multiple domains - support that.
b) Make "zone" and "script" configurable. Some providers require these.
c) Instead of leaving the ddclient daemon running all the time, use a systemd
timer to kick it off.
d) Don't use a predefined user - run everything via DynamicUser
e) Add documentation
We should be able to deploy a NixOS 18.03 system with the current nixops
stable release. Some options were renamed, so instead of
`mkRenamedOptionModule` we introduce them as read-only interal options
that won't be rendered in the manual.
Only the options that are needed to make nixops evaluations succeed were
added.
This commit should probably be reverted after or before the 18.09 release,
depending on the nixops 1.6 release.
The user will not get the warning that these have been renamed but
this change is mentioned in the release notes.
Fixes#34253.
- prometheus exporters are now configured with
`services.prometheus.exporters.<name>`
- the exporters are now defined by attribute sets
from which the options for each exporter are generated
- most of the exporter definitions are used unchanged,
except for some changes that should't have any impact
on the functionality.
All available options were just enabling
hardware.enableRedistributableFirmware. There were nix files without
modules which weren't referenced anywhere.
Additional CUPS drivers can be added via "services.printing.drivers" but
Gutenprint was an exception. It was possible to add a Gutenprint
derivation to that list and it would work at first but unlike the other
drivers Gutenprint requires a script to be run after each update or any
attempt to print something would simply fail and an error would show up
in the jobs queue (http://localhost:631/jobs/):
"The PPD version (5.2.11) is not compatible with Gutenprint 5.2.13.
Please run
`/nix/store/7762kpyhfkcgmr3q81v1bbyy0bjhym80-gutenprint-5.2.13/sbin/cups-genppdupdate'
as administrator."
This is due to state in "/var/lib/cups/ppd" and one would need to run
"/nix/store/.../bin/cups-genppdupdate -p /var/lib/cups/ppd" manually.
The alternative was to enable the following option:
"services.printing.gutenprint" but this had two disadvantages:
1) It is an exception that one could be unaware of or that could
potentially cause some confusion.
2) One couldn't use a customized Gutenprint derivation in
"services.printing.drivers" but would instead have to overwrite
"pkgs.gutenprint".
This new approach simply detects a Gutenprint derivation in
"services.printing.gutenprint" by checking if the meta set of a
derivation contains "isGutenprint = true". Therefore no special
exception for Gutenprint would be required and it could easily be
applied to other drivers if they would require such a script to be run.
Before this commit default relay configuration could produce unexpected
real life consequences. This patch makes those choices explicit and
documents them extensively.

The Infinality bytecode interpreter is removed in favor of the new v40 TrueType
interpreter. In the past, the Infinality interpreter provided support for
ClearType-style hinting instructions while the default interpreter (then v35)
provided support only for original TrueType-style instructions. The v40
interpreter corrects this deficiency, so the Infinality interpreter is no longer
necessary.
To understand why the Infinality interpreter is no longer necessary, we should
understand how ClearType differs from TrueType and how the v40 interpreter
works. The following is a summary of information available on the FreeType
website [1] mixed with my own editorializing.
TrueType instructions use horizontal and vertical hints to improve glyph
rendering. Before TrueType, fonts were only vertically hinted; horizontal hints
improved rendering by snapping stems to pixel boundaries. Horizontal hinting is
a risk because it can significantly distort glyph shapes and kerning. Extensive
testing at different resolutions is needed to perfect the TrueType
hints. Microsoft invested significant effort to do this with its "Core fonts for
the Web" project, but few other typefaces have seen this level of attention.
With the advent of subpixel rendering, the effective horizontal resolution of
most displays increased significantly. ClearType eschews horizontal hinting in
favor of horizontal supersampling. Most fonts are designed for the Microsoft
bytecode interpreter, which implements a compatibility mode with
TrueType-style (horizontal and vertical) instructions. However, applying the
full horizontal hints to subpixel-rendered fonts leads to color fringes and
inconsistent stem widths. The Infinality interpreter implements several
techniques to mitigate these problems, going so far as to embed font- and
glyph-specific hacks in the interpreter. On the other hand, the v40 interpreter
ignores the horizontal hinting instructions so that glyphs render as they are
intended to on the Microsoft interpreter. Without the horizontal hints, the
problems of glyph and kerning distortion, color fringes, and inconsistent stem
widths--the problems the Infinality interpreter was created to solve--simply
don't occur in the first place.
There are also security concerns which motivate removing the Infinality patches.
Although there is an updated version of the Infinality interpreter for FreeType
2.7, the lack of a consistent upstream maintainer is a security concern. The
interpreter is a Turing-complete virtual machine which has had security
vulnerabilities in the past. While the default interpreter is used in billions
of devices and is maintained by an active developer, the Infinality interpreter
is neither scrutinized nor maintained. We will probably never know if there are
defects in the Infinality interpreter, and if they were discovered they would
likely never be fixed. I do not think that is an acceptable situtation for a
core library like FreeType.
Dropping the Infinality patches means that font rendering will be less
customizable. I think this is an acceptable trade-off. The Infinality
interpreter made many compromises to mitigate the problems with horizontal
hinting; the main purpose of customization is to tailor these compromises to the
user's preferences. The new interpreter does not have to make these compromises
because it renders fonts as their designers intended, so this level of
customization is not necessary.
The Infinality-associated patches are also removed from cairo. These patches
only set the default rendering options in case they aren't set though
Fontconfig. On NixOS, the rendering options are always set in Fontconfig, so
these patches never actually did anything for us!
The Fontconfig test suite is patched to account for a quirk in the way PCF fonts
are named.
The fontconfig option `hintstyle` is no longer configurable in NixOS. This
option selects the TrueType interpreter; the v40 interpreter is `hintslight` and
the older v35 interpreter is `hintmedium` or `hintfull` (which have actually
always been the same thing). The setting may still be changed through the
`localConf` option or by creating a user Fontconfig file.
Users with HiDPI displays should probably disable hinting and antialiasing: at
best they have no visible effect.
The fontconfig-ultimate settings are still available in NixOS, but they are no
longer the default. They still work, but their main purpose is to set rendering
quirks which are no longer necessary and may actually be
detrimental (e.g. setting `hintfull` for some fonts). Also, the vast array of
font substitutions provided is not an appropriate default; the default setting
should be to give the user the font they asked for.

* Sync systemd units with upstream. Upstream uses SIGUSR2 instead of SIGHUP
to reload the clamd service.
* Convert freshclam service to a oneshot service activated by a systemd timer.
This way we can make clamd wait for freshclam to finish fetching the virus
database before failing to start if the database doesn't exist yet.
* Fixes console tools to work as expected as they require hardcoded config
file locations.
This removes our hardcoded presets which weren't updated for quite some time.
Infinality now has new hardcoded presets in freetype, which can be overriden if
desired with environment variables (as before). Accordingly, updated NixOS
module to set the hardcoded preset.
Additionally used a more "right" type for substitutions.
The new module is specifically adapted to the NixOS Grsecurity/PaX
kernel. The module declares the required kernel configurations and
so *should* be somewhat compatible with custom Grsecurity kernels.
The module exposes only a limited number of options, minimising the need
for user intervention beyond enabling the module. For experts,
Grsecurity/PaX behavior may be configured via `boot.kernelParams` and
`boot.kernel.sysctl`.
The module assumes the user knows what she's doing (esp. if she decides
to modify configuration values not directly exposed by the module).
Administration of Grsecurity's role based access control system is yet
to be implemented.
When displaying a warning about a removed Option we should always
include reasoning why it was removed and how to get the same
functionality without it.
Introduces such a description argument and patches occurences (mostly
with an empty string).
startGnuPGAgent: further notes on replacement
Instead of using this option, please modify the dovecot package by means of an
override. For example:
nixpkgs.config.packageOverrides = super: {
dovecot = super.dovecot.override { withPgSQL = true; };
};
Closes https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/14097.
- services.iodined moved to services.iodine
- configuration file backwards compatable
- old iodine server configuration moved to services.iodine.server
- attribute set services.iodine.clients added to specify any number
of iodine clients
- example:
iodine.clients.home = { server = "iodinesubdomain.yourserver.com"; ... };
- client services names iodine-name where name would be home
GnuPG 2.1.x changed the way the gpg-agent works, and that new approach no
longer requires (or even supports) the "start everything as a child of the
agent" scheme we've implemented in NixOS for older versions.
To configure the gpg-agent for your X session, add the following code to
~/.xsession or some other appropriate place that's sourced at start-up:
gpg-connect-agent /bye
GPG_TTY=$(tty)
export GPG_TTY
If you want to use gpg-agent for SSH, too, also add the settings
unset SSH_AGENT_PID
export SSH_AUTH_SOCK="${HOME}/.gnupg/S.gpg-agent.ssh"
and make sure that
enable-ssh-support
is included in your ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf.
The gpg-agent(1) man page has more details about this subject, i.e. in the
"EXAMPLES" section.
Updates gitlab to the current stable version and fixes a lot of features that
were broken, at least with the current version and our configuration.
Quite a lot of sweat and tears has gone into testing nearly all features and
reading/patching the Gitlab source as we're about to deploy gitlab for our
whole company.
Things to note:
* The gitlab config is now written as a nix attribute set and will be
converted to JSON. Gitlab uses YAML but JSON is a subset of YAML.
The `extraConfig` opition is also an attribute set that will be merged
with the default config. This way *all* Gitlab options are supported.
* Some paths like uploads and configs are hardcoded in rails (at least
after my study of the Gitlab source). This is why they are linked from
the Gitlab root to /run/gitlab and then linked to the configurable
`statePath`.
* Backup & restore should work out of the box from another Gitlab instance.
* gitlab-git-http-server has been replaced by gitlab-workhorse upstream.
Push & pull over HTTPS works perfectly. Communication to gitlab is done
over unix sockets. An HTTP server is required to proxy requests to
gitlab-workhorse over another unix socket at
`/run/gitlab/gitlab-workhorse.socket`.
* The user & group running gitlab are now configurable. These can even be
changed for live instances.
* The initial email address & password of the root user can be configured.
Fixes#8598.
Option aliases/deprecations can now be declared in any NixOS module,
not just in nixos/modules/rename.nix. This is more modular (since it
allows for example grub-related aliases to be declared in the grub
module), and allows aliases outside of NixOS (e.g. in NixOps modules).
The syntax is a bit funky. Ideally we'd have something like:
options = {
foo.bar.newOption = mkOption { ... };
foo.bar.oldOption = mkAliasOption [ "foo" "bar" "newOption" ];
};
but that's not possible because options cannot define values in
*other* options - you need to have a "config" for that. So instead we
have functions that return a *module*: mkRemovedOptionModule,
mkRenamedOptionModule and mkAliasOptionModule. These can be used via
"imports", e.g.
imports = [
(mkAliasOptionModule [ "foo" "bar" "oldOption" ] [ "foo" "bar" "newOption" ]);
];
As an added bonus, deprecation warnings now show the file name of the
offending module.
Fixes#10385.
Now it generates notifications for auto-detected devices as well as
for explicitly configured ones, sends well formed e-mails and supports
immediate `wall` and `xmessage` notifications.
Commit 687caeb renamed services.virtualboxHost to programs.virtualbox,
but according to the discussion on the commit, it's probably a better to
put it into virtualisation.virtualbox instead.

Major changes
- Port to systemd timers: for each archive configuration is created a
tarsnap@archive-name.timer which triggers the instanced service unit
- Rename the `config` option to `archives`
Minor/superficial improvements
- Restrict tarsnap service capabilities
- Use dirOf builtin
- Set executable bit for owner of tarsnap cache directory
- Set IOSchedulingClass to idle
- Humanize numbers when printing stats
- Rewrite most option descriptions
- Simplify assertion
The renaming of options define the original value for the new attribute
path. This works well if there is only *one* target, but if there are
more, we end up recursing into the attribute set of the option
definition itself.
We now check for that within the parent recursion node (we can't check
that from the subnode, because we lack that information about whether
it's defined multiple times) and if the subnode consist entirely of a
list of definitions, we use mkMerge on it.

Details:
* The option `fonts.enableFontConfig` has (finally) been renamed
`fonts.fontconfig.enable`.
* Configurations are loaded in this order: first the Fontconfig-upstream
configuration is loaded, then the NixOS-specific font directories are
set, the system-wide default configuration is loaded, and finally the
user configuration is loaded (if enabled).
* The NixOS options `fonts.fontconfig.defaultFonts.monospace`,
`fonts.fontconfig.defaultFonts.sansSerif` and
`fonts.fontconfig.defaultFonts.serif` are added to allow setting the
default system-wide font used for these generic faces. The defaults
are the appropriate faces from the DejaVu collection because of their
comprehensive Unicode coverage, clean rendering, and excellent
legibility.
* The NixOS option `fonts.fontconfig.antialias` can be used to disable
antialiasing (it is enabled by default).
* The options `fonts.fontconfig.subpixel.rgba` and
`fonts.fontconfig.subpixel.lcdfilter` control the system-wide default
settings for subpixel order and LCD filtering algorithm,
respectively.
* `fonts.fontconfig.hinting.enable` can be used to disable TrueType font
hinting (it is enabled by default).
`fonts.fontconfig.hinting.autohint` controls the FreeType autohinter.
`fonts.fontconfig.hinting.style` controls the hint style; it is "full"
by default.
* User configurations can be disabled system-wide by setting
`fonts.fontconfig.includeUserConf = false`. They are enabled by
default so users can set Fontconfig options in the desktop environment
of their choice.
Following the discussion NixOS#5021:
- obsolete the nix.proxy option
- add the networking.proxy option
- open a default no_proxy environment variable
- add a rsync option
- Manual tests ok.
- Automatic tests ok.
Amended by lethalman to simplify the option descriptions.
Especially new users could be confused by this, so we're now marking
services.virtualbox.enable as obsolete and defaulting to
services.virtualboxGuest.enable instead. I believe this now makes it
clear, that this option is for guest additions only.

NixOS has a pervasive dependency on bash. For instance, the X11
session script sources /etc/profile to get a reasonable
environment. Thus we should not provide an option to disable bash.
Also, enabling zsh no longer sets ‘users.defaultUserShell’ to zsh, to
prevent a collision with bash's definition of the same
option. (Changing the default shell is also something that should be
left to the user.)
Fixes#2379.
The new name was a misnomer because the values really are X11 video
drivers (e.g. ‘cirrus’ or ‘nvidia’), not OpenGL implementations. That
it's also used to set an OpenGL implementation for kmscon is just
confusing overloading.
This has some advantages:
* You get ssh-agent regardless of how you logged in. Previously it was
only started for X11 sessions.
* All sessions of a user share the same agent. So if you added a key
on tty1, it will also be available on tty2.
* Systemd will restart ssh-agent if it dies.
* $SSH_AUTH_SOCK now points to the /run/user/<uid> directory, which is
more secure than /tmp.
For bonus points, we should patch ssh-agent to support socket-based
activation...
Using pkgs.lib on the spine of module evaluation is problematic
because the pkgs argument depends on the result of module
evaluation. To prevent an infinite recursion, pkgs and some of the
modules are evaluated twice, which is inefficient. Using ‘with lib’
prevents this problem.
