The <literal>nscd</literal> service now disables all caching of
|
|
<literal>passwd</literal> and <literal>group</literal> databases by
|
|
default. This was interferring with the correct functioning of the
|
|
<literal>libnss_systemd.so</literal> module which is used by
|
|
<literal>systemd</literal> to manage uids and usernames in the presence of
|
|
<literal>DynamicUser=</literal> in systemd services. This was already the
|
|
default behaviour in presence of <literal>services.sssd.enable =
|
|
true</literal> because nscd caching would interfere with
|
|
<literal>sssd</literal> in unpredictable ways as well. Because we're
|
|
using nscd not for caching, but for convincing glibc to find NSS modules
|
|
in the nix store instead of an absolute path, we have decided to disable
|
|
caching globally now, as it's usually not the behaviour the user wants and
|
|
can lead to surprising behaviour. Furthermore, negative caching of host
|
|
lookups is also disabled now by default. This should fix the issue of dns
|
|
lookups failing in the presence of an unreliable network.

If the old behaviour is desired, this can be restored by setting

GitLab Shell previously used the nix store paths for the

<literal>gitlab-shell</literal> command in its
|
|
<literal>authorized_keys</literal> file, which might stop working after
|
|
garbage collection. To circumvent that, we regenerated that file on each

startup. As <literal>gitlab-shell</literal> has now been changed to use
|
|
<literal>/var/run/current-system/sw/bin/gitlab-shell</literal>, this is
|
|
not necessary anymore, but there might be leftover lines with a nix store
|
|
path. Regenerate the <literal>authorized_keys</literal> file via

<command>sudo -u git -H gitlab-rake gitlab:shell:setup</command> in that

The deprecated <literal>truecrypt</literal> package has been removed
|
|
and <literal>truecrypt</literal> attribute is now an alias for
|
|
<literal>veracrypt</literal>. VeraCrypt is backward-compatible with
|
|
TrueCrypt volumes. Note that <literal>cryptsetup</literal> also
|
|
supports loading TrueCrypt volumes.

The Kubernetes DNS addons, kube-dns, has been replaced with CoreDNS.
|
|
This change is made in accordance with Kubernetes making CoreDNS the official default
|
|
starting from
|
|
<link xlink:href="https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/master/CHANGELOG-1.11.md#sig-cluster-lifecycle">Kubernetes v1.11</link>.
|
|
Please beware that upgrading DNS-addon on existing clusters might induce
|
|
minor downtime while the DNS-addon terminates and re-initializes.
|
|
Also note that the DNS-service now runs with 2 pod replicas by default.
|
|
The desired number of replicas can be configured using:
|
|
<option>services.kubernetes.addons.dns.replicas</option>.

It is possible now to uze ZRAM devices as general purpose ephemeral block devices,
|
|
not only as swap. Using more than 1 device as ZRAM swap is no longer recommended,
|
|
but is still possible by setting <literal>zramSwap.swapDevices</literal> explicitly.

Changes to ZRAM algorithm are applied during <literal>nixos-rebuild switch</literal>,

use <literal>nixos-rebuild boot; reboot</literal>.

Flat volumes are now disabled by default in <literal>hardware.pulseaudio</literal>.
|
|
This has been done to prevent applications, which are unaware of this feature, setting
|
|
their volumes to 100% on startup causing harm to your audio hardware and potentially your ears.

With this change application specific volumes are relative to the master volume which can be
|
|
adjusted independently, whereas before they were absolute; meaning that in effect, it scaled the
|
|
device-volume with the volume of the loudest application.
