The single option tries to do too much work, which just ends up confusing people.
So:
- don't force the console font, the kernel can figure this out as of #210205
- don't force the systemd-boot mode, it's an awkward mode that's not supported
on most things and will break flicker-free boot
- add a separate option for the xorg cursor scaling trick and move it under the xorg namespace
- add a general `fonts.optimizeForVeryHighDPI` option that explicitly says what it does
- alias the old option to that
- don't set any of those automatically in nixos-generate-config
I'm using this config on my homeserver and while trying out alternative
Matrix clients I discovered (pun intended) that the auto-discovery of my
homeserver is broken. While investigating I found out that neither the
JS nor the Rust SDK (tested via element-web and fractal) are happy about
an empty `m.identity_server`-block. Removing this part fixed the problem
for me.
Some environments do not load /etc/profile, so environment.variables do
not work. In particular, this is the case for Plasma Wayland.
Use environment.sessionVariables for setting that variable instead,
which is handled by PAM and hence more reliable.
Even if GitLab is used without Pages, some of its settings are still
used in the gitlab.yml file, resulting in errors such as
error: The option `services.gitlab.pages.settings.pages-domain' is used but not defined.
To fix this, make the settings' usage conditional on Pages being
enabled.
- drop media-session (rip 💀)
- stop trying to let people override default configs, those never got merged correctly
- drop all the complexity arising from having to vendor default config files
- build docs in sandbox as we no longer recurse
Otherwise the `minio.service` service will fail either:
* with a message that the EnvironmentFile does not exist
* or silently with potentially stale credentials
The module was allowing specific chown syscalls, which is brittle because
there are several and different ones are used by glibc on different
architectures. For example, fchownat was already added to the allowlist for
aarch64, while on armv6l chrony crashes because chown32 is not in the
allowlist.
systemd provides the @chown syscall set, which includes all the chown
syscalls and avoids this brittleness. I believe the syscalls would all be
equivalent from an attacker's perspective, so there is unlikely to be any
security impact.
The restic repository cache location defaults to ~/.cache/restic when
not overwritten either by the --cache-dir command line parameter or the
universal RESTIC_CACHE_DIR environment variable.
Currently, the --cache-dir variable is set to only some restic commands,
but, e.g., not to the unit's preStart command for the module's
initialize option. This results in two distinct cache locations, one at
~/.cache/restic for the initialize commands and one at the configured
--cache-dir location for the restic backup command.
By explicitly setting RESTIC_CACHE_DIR for the unit, only one cache at
the correct location will be used.

Headscale now supports passing the OIDC client secret via a file, as
added in [juanfont/headscale#1127][1127]. Lets use that.
The headscale option is `client_secret_path`; let's make it consistent
and rename the Nix option to this. Note that I wasn't able to do this:
mkRenamedOptionModule [ ... "client_secret_file" ] [ ... "client_secret_path" ]
I get such error:
error: evaluation aborted with the following error message: 'cannot find attribute `services.headscale.settings.oidc.client_secret_file''
[1127]: https://github.com/juanfont/headscale/pull/1127
This prevents issues I'm seeing with the hydra I'm running on my laptop.
Every time I reboot it I see eval errors like this:
```
error fetching latest change from git repo at `https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs.git':
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs.git/': Could not resolve host: github.com
```
This is because the evaluator already starts before the network is
actually online. It should wait until the network is fully online before
starting evaluation to prevent evaluation errors like above.
