A centralized list for these renames is not good because:
- It breaks disabledModules for modules that have a rename defined
- Adding/removing renames for a module means having to find them in the
central file
- Merge conflicts due to multiple people editing the central file
The `keys.target` is used to indicate whether all NixOps keys were
successfully uploaded on an unattended reboot. However this can cause
startup issues e.g. with NixOS containers (see #67265) and can block
boots even though this might not be needed (e.g. with a dovecot2
instance running that doesn't need any of the NixOps keys).
As described in the NixOps manual[1], dependencies to keys should be
defined like this now:
``` nix
{
systemd.services.myservice = {
after = [ "secret-key.service" ];
wants = [ "secret-key.service" ];
};
}
```
However I'd leave the issue open until it's discussed whether or not to
keep `keys.target` in `nixpkgs`.

The pull request that added dhparams (#39507) was made at the time where
the dhparams module overhaul (#39526) wasn't done yet, so it's still
using the old mechanics of the module.
As stated in the release notes:
Module implementers should not set a specific bit size in order to let
users configure it by themselves if they want to have a different bit
size than the default (2048).
An example usage of this would be:
{ config, ... }:
{
security.dhparams.params.myservice = {};
environment.etc."myservice.conf".text = ''
dhparams = ${config.security.dhparams.params.myservice.path}
'';
}

The dovecot bump to 2.3.1 caused the dovecot service to fail to start
because it would try to chgrp sockets to dovecot whereas our default
dovecot group is called dovecot2.
This option got introduced in 7904499542
and it didn't check whether mailUser and mailGroup are null, which they
are by default.
Now we're only creating the user if createMailUser is set in conjunction
with mailUser and the group if mailGroup is set as well.
I've added a NixOS VM test so that we can verify whether dovecot works
without any additional options set, so it serves as a regression test
for issue #29466 and other issues that might come up with future changes
to the Dovecot service.

Make sure that the output of the sieve compiler produces files that
have a newer time stamp than the source sieve script. Otherwise you
get errors in the logs about Dovecot not being able to compile do to a
permission issue.
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.
- add missing types in module definitions
- add missing 'defaultText' in module definitions
- wrap example with 'literalExample' where necessary in module definitions
Absolute path is required when one has such postfix configuration
where he/she needs to specify the actual (real) path to active dovecot
config.
Without this commit applied, the dovecot is running in such way:
/nix/store/hashAAA-dovecot-ver/sbin/dovecot -F -c /nix/store/hashBBB-dovecot2.conf
and postfix can't be aware of the value of "hashBBB" via services.postfix.extraConfig = '' ... '';
(it can only be aware of "hashAAA" with ${pkgs.dovecot} parameter)
Also enable Restart on-failure.
Edit: set RestartSec to 1s
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.
That is, you can say
security.pam.services.sshd = { options... };
instead of
security.pam.services = [ { name = "sshd"; options... } ];
making it easier to override PAM settings from other modules.
