The 6.0 changelog notes that systemd support was rewritten. The effects
of that seem to be twofold:
* Redis will silently fail to sd_notify if not built with libsystemd,
breaking our unit configuration.
* It also appears to misbehave if told to daemonize when running under
systemd -- note that upstream's sample unit configuration does not
daemonize:
https://github.com/antirez/redis/blob/unstable/utils/systemd-redis_server.service
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 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.
Previously it was only set once, now it is enforced on each start-up of
redis.service. Also set _ownership_ recursively, so that the
/var/lib/redis/dump.rdb file is guaranteed to be accessible by the
currently configured redis user.
Fixes issue #9687, where redis wouldn't start because /var/lib/redis had
wrong owner.
- add missing types in module definitions
- add missing 'defaultText' in module definitions
- wrap example with 'literalExample' where necessary in module definitions
Commit 89fee1006c ("nixos/redis: clean up
option types") broke nixos evaluation:
error: attempt to call something which is not a function but a set, at .../nixpkgs/nixos/modules/services/databases/redis.nix:111:28
Fix it.
Reported by Oliver Charles (thanks!).
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.
