One of the module that already supports the systemd-confinement module
is public-inbox. However with the changes to support DynamicUser and
ProtectSystem, the module will now fail at runtime if confinement is
enabled (it's optional and you'll need to override it via another
module).
The reason is that the RootDirectory is set to /var/empty in the
public-inbox module, which doesn't work well with the InaccessiblePaths
directive we now use to support DynamicUser/ProtectSystem.
To make this issue more visible, I decided to just change the priority
of the RootDirectory option definiton the default override priority so
that whenever another different option is defined, we'll get a conflict
at evaluation time.

Our more thorough parametrised tests uncovered that with the changes for
supporting DynamicUser, we now have the situation that for static users
the root directory within the confined environment is now writable for
the user in question.
This is obviously not what we want and I'd consider that a regression.
However while discussing this with @ju1m and my suggestion being to
set TemporaryFileSystem to "/" (as we had previously), they had an even
better idea[1]:

I like the solution with ReadOnlyPaths even more because it further
reduces the attack surface if the user is root. In chroot-only mode this
is especially useful, since if there are no other bind-mounted paths
involved in the unit configuration, the whole file system within the
confined environment is read-only.

Add missing http:// scheme. Without it pixiecore logs this and never
contacts the API server:
[DHCP] Couldn't get bootspec for [REDACTED_MAC_ADDR]: Get "localhost:8080/v1/boot/[REDACTED_MAC_ADDR]": unsupported protocol scheme "localhost"
The change introduced in #308303 refers to the virtualHosts attrset
key which can be any string. The servername is the actual primary
hostname used for the certificate.
This fixes use cases like:
services.nginx.virualHosts.foobar.serverName = "my.fqdn.org";
The state directory contains static files that need to be accessible by
a webserver, but homeMode defaults to 0750 and switching the generation
will always force the homeMode, thereby breaking access to the assets.
Instead, fully rely on systemd to provide the StateDirectory with the
correct mode.

This is a feature supported out of the box by upstream and allows the
incusd service to be restarted without impacting running
instances. While this does give up a bit of reproducibility, qemu and
lxc for example, there are clear benefits in allowing the host to
apply updates without impacting instances.
Modeled after the zabbly implementation: 2a67c3e260/systemd/incus-startup.service
This will now be the default.
