There's many reason why it is and is going to
continue to be difficult to do this:
1. All display-managers (excluding slim) default PAM rules
disallow root auto login.
2. We can't use wayland
3. We have to use system-wide pulseaudio
4. It could break applications in the session.
This happened to dolphin in plasma5
in the past.
This is a growing technical debt, let's just use
passwordless sudo.
ibus-qt has not seen a release in 5 years and is only relevant for Qt
4.x, which is becoming more and more rare. Using my current laptop as a
data point, ibus-qt is the only dependency left that drags in qt-4.8.7.
Motivation is to support other repositories containing nixos
modules that would like to generate options documentation:
- nix-darwin
- private repos
- arion
- ??
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.

This was supposed to go through a pull request
Revert "nodePackages: Regenerate node packages for nodejs 10 & 12"
This reverts commit 6a17bdf397.
Revert "nodejs-8_x: Drop package"
This reverts commit e06c97b71d.
PHP 7.1 is currently on life support, as in only recieving security related patches.
This will only continue until: 2019-12-01
This date are in the middle of the 19.09 lifecycle. So it would be
nice to not have it in the 19.09 stable release. Dropping it now would
also result in less maintanance in updating them.
The death dates can be seen on following links:

- https://php.net/supported-versions.php

It seems as the sentence at the bottom of the option summary about
Nix-specific options isn't enough, it's probably more helpful to list
those options in the synopsis as well.
The autoLuks module is not really compatible with the updated systemd
version anymore. We started dropping NixOS specific patches that caused
unwanted side effects that we had to work around otherwise.
This change points users towards the relevant PR and spits out a bit of
information on how to deal with the situation.
Somewhen between systemd v239 and v242 upstream decided to no longer run
a few system services with `DyanmicUser=1` but failed to provide a
migration path for all the state those services left behind.
For the case of systemd-timesync the state has to be moved from
/var/lib/private/systemd/timesync to /var/lib/systemd/timesync if
/var/lib/systemd/timesync is currently a symlink.
We only do this if the stateVersion is still below 19.09 to avoid
starting to have an ever growing activation script for (then) ancient
systemd migrations that are no longer required.
See https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/12131 for details about
the missing migration path and related discussion.
mysql already has its socket path hardcoded to to
/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock.
There's not much value in making the pidDir configurable, which also
points to /run/mysqld by default.
We only seem to use `services.mysql.pidDir` in the wordpress startup
script, to wait for mysql to boot up, but we can also simply wait on the
(hardcoded) socket location too.
A much nicer way to accomplish that would be to properly describe a
dependency on mysqld.service. This however is not easily doable, due to
how the apache-httpd module was designed.
As we don't need to setup data directories from ExecStartPre= scripts
anymore, which required root, but use systemd.tmpfiles.rules instead,
everything can be run as just the mysql user.
Some packages like `ibus-engines.typing-booster` require the dictionary
`fr_FR.dic` to provide proper support for the french language.
Until now the hunspell package set of nixpkgs didn't provide this
dictionary. It has been recommended to use `fr-moderne` as base and link
`fr_FR.dic` from it as done by other distros such as ArchLinux.

The build error has been introduced by 56dcc319cf.
Using a <simplesect/> within a <para/> is not allowed and subsequently
fails to validate while building the manual.
So instead, I moved the <simplesect/> further down and outside of the
<para/> to fix this.

I have a nixops network where I deploy containers using the `container`
backend which uses `nixos-container` intenrally to deploy several
containers to a certain host.
During that time I removed and added new containers and while trying to
deploy those to a different host I realized that it isn't guaranteed
that each container gets the same IP address which is a problem as some
parts of the deployment need to know which container is using which IP
(i.e. to configure port forwarding on the host).
With this change you can specify the container's IP like this (and don't
have to use the arbitrarily used 10.233.0.0/16 subnet):
```
$ nixos-container create test --config-file test-container.nix \
--local-address 10.235.1.2 --host-address 10.235.1.1
```
