Even though the release obviously already happened, I think it might
still make sense to add a short note about the attributes not being
supported any longer (and going forward).

This option was removed because allowing (multiple) regular users to
override host entries affecting the whole system opens up a huge attack
vector. There seem to be very rare cases where this might be useful.
Consider setting system-wide host entries using networking.hosts,
provide them via the DNS server in your network, or use
networking.networkmanager.appendNameservers to point your system to
another (local) nameserver to set those entries.
This solves the dependency cycle in gcr alternatively so there won't be
two gnupg store paths in a standard NixOS system which has udisks2 enabled
by default.
NixOS users are expected to use the gpg-agent user service to pull in the
appropriate pinentry flavour or install it on their systemPackages and set
it in their local gnupg agent config instead.

This commits makes it clearer to a novice reader how to configure several
diferent types of SSID connections that were otherwise obscurely documented
Resolves#66650
The state path now, since the transition from initialization in
preStart to using systemd-tmpfiles, has the following restriction: no
parent directory can be owned by any other user than root or the user
specified in services.gitlab.user. This is a potentially breaking
change and the cause of the error isn't immediately obvious, so
document it both in the release notes and statePath description.
This plugin is fairly outdated and depends on python2 libraries that
don't receive any updates either (xmpppy for instance[1]).

* remove kinetic

* add johanot as maintainer
nixos/ceph: create option for mgr_module_path
- since the upstream default is no longer correct in v14
* fix module, default location for libexec has changed
* ceph: fix test
The redis module currently fails to start up, most likely due to running
a chown as non-root in preStart.
While at it, I hardcoded it to use systemd's StateDirectory and
DynamicUser to manage directory permissions, removed the unused
appendOnlyFilename option, and the pidFile option.
We properly tell redis now it's daemonized, and it'll use notify support
to signal readiness.
It currently lacks an emoji font-family which means it has to be
disabled for them to function [0]. Additionally it's fallen out of
necessity to ship custom font rendering settings (as far as I'm aware
of).

* nixos/acme: Fix ordering of cert requests
When subsequent certificates would be added, they would
not wake up nginx correctly due to target units only being triggered
once. We now added more fine-grained systemd dependencies to make sure
nginx always is aware of new certificates and doesn't restart too early
resulting in a crash.
Furthermore, the acme module has been refactored. Mostly to get
rid of the deprecated PermissionStartOnly systemd options which were
deprecated. Below is a summary of changes made.
* Use SERVICE_RESULT to determine status
This was added in systemd v232. we don't have to keep track
of the EXITCODE ourselves anymore.
* Add regression test for requesting mutliple domains
* Deprecate 'directory' option
We now use systemd's StateDirectory option to manage
create and permissions of the acme state directory.
* The webroot is created using a systemd.tmpfiles.rules rule
instead of the preStart script.
* Depend on certs directly
By getting rid of the target units, we make sure ordering
is correct in the case that you add new certs after already
having deployed some.
Reason it broke before: acme-certificates.target would
be in active state, and if you then add a new cert, it
would still be active and hence nginx would restart
without even requesting a new cert. Not good! We
make the dependencies more fine-grained now. this should fix that
* Remove activationDelay option
It complicated the code a lot, and is rather arbitrary. What if
your activation script takes more than activationDelay seconds?
Instead, one should use systemd dependencies to make sure some
action happens before setting the certificate live.
e.g. If you want to wait until your cert is published in DNS DANE /
TLSA, you could create a unit that blocks until it appears in DNS:
```
RequiredBy=acme-${cert}.service
After=acme-${cert}.service
ExecStart=publish-wait-for-dns-script
```
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`.

systemd provides two sysctl snippets, 50-coredump.conf and
50-default.conf.
These enable:
- Loose reverse path filtering
- Source route filtering
- `fq_codel` as a packet scheduler (this helps to fight bufferbloat)
This also configures the kernel to pass coredumps to `systemd-coredump`.
These sysctl snippets can be found in `/etc/sysctl.d/50-*.conf`,
and overridden via `boot.kernel.sysctl`
(which will place the parameters in `/etc/sysctl.d/60-nixos.conf`.
Let's start using these, like other distros already do for quite some
time, and remove those duplicate `boot.kernel.sysctl` options we
previously did set.
In the case of rp_filter (which systemd would set to 2 (loose)), make
our overrides to "1" more explicit.
sysctl.d(5) recommends prefixing all filenames in /etc/sysctl.d with a
two-digit number and a dash, to simplify the ordering of the files.
Some packages provide custom files, often with "50-" prefix.
To ensure user-supplied configuration takes precedence over the one
specified via `boot.kernel.sysctl`, prefix the file generated there with
"60-".
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.
