This reverts commit 413011ddf4.
Using separate lockfile directories prevents the different kea daemons
from using the interprocess sync lockfile.
Keeping the runtime directory around might be the better approach.
Deprecation warning: The standalone 'grafana-server' program is deprecated and will be removed in the future. Please update all uses of 'grafana-server' to 'grafana server'

Closes#216989
First of all, a bit of context: in PostgreSQL, newly created users don't
have the CREATE privilege on the public schema of a database even with
`ALL PRIVILEGES` granted via `ensurePermissions` which is how most of
the DB users are currently set up "declaratively"[1]. This means e.g. a
freshly deployed Nextcloud service will break early because Nextcloud
itself cannot CREATE any tables in the public schema anymore.
The other issue here is that `ensurePermissions` is a mere hack. It's
effectively a mixture of SQL code (e.g. `DATABASE foo` is relying on how
a value is substituted in a query. You'd have to parse a subset of SQL
to actually know which object are permissions granted to for a user).
After analyzing the existing modules I realized that in every case with
a single exception[2] the UNIX system user is equal to the db user is
equal to the db name and I don't see a compelling reason why people
would change that in 99% of the cases. In fact, some modules would even
break if you'd change that because the declarations of the system user &
the db user are mixed up[3].
So I decided to go with something new which restricts the ways to use
`ensure*` options rather than expanding those[4]. Effectively this means
that
* The DB user _must_ be equal to the DB name.
* Permissions are granted via `ensureDBOwnerhip` for an attribute-set in
`ensureUsers`. That way, the user is actually the owner and can
perform `CREATE`.
* For such a postgres user, a database must be declared in
`ensureDatabases`.
For anything else, a custom state management should be implemented. This
can either be `initialScript`, doing it manual, outside of the module or
by implementing proper state management for postgresql[5], but the
current state of `ensure*` isn't even declarative, but a convergent tool
which is what Nix actually claims to _not_ do.
Regarding existing setups: there are effectively two options:
* Leave everything as-is (assuming that system user == db user == db
name): then the DB user will automatically become the DB owner and
everything else stays the same.
* Drop the `createDatabase = true;` declarations: nothing will change
because a removal of `ensure*` statements is ignored, so it doesn't
matter at all whether this option is kept after the first deploy (and
later on you'd usually restore from backups anyways).
The DB user isn't the owner of the DB then, but for an existing setup
this is irrelevant because CREATE on the public schema isn't revoked
from existing users (only not granted for new users).
[1] not really declarative though because removals of these statements
are simply ignored for instance: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/206467
[2] `services.invidious`: I removed the `ensure*` part temporarily
because it IMHO falls into the category "manage the state on your
own" (see the commit message). See also
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/265857
[3] e.g. roundcube had `"DATABASE ${cfg.database.username}" = "ALL PRIVILEGES";`
[4] As opposed to other changes that are considered a potential fix, but
also add more things like collation for DBs or passwords that are
_never_ touched again when changing those.

need acces to
Kernel Logs (dmesg):
Capability: CAP_SYSLOG
Description: This capability allows the program to read kernel logs using the dmesg command or by reading the /dev/kmsg file.
System Logs (e.g., /var/log/syslog):
Capability: CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH
Description: This capability allows the program to read system logs located in directories such as /var/log/.
User Logs (e.g., /var/log/auth.log):
Capability: CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH
Description: This capability allows the program to read user logs located in directories such as /var/log/.
Kea may clean the runtime directory when starting (or maybe systemd does
it). I ran into this issue when restarting Kea after changing its
configuration, so I think the fact it normally doesn't clean it is a
race condition (it's cleaned on service start, and normally all Kea
services start at roughly the same time).
The previous implementation works fine when the plugins do not already
contain store paths, which is the case for stuff from munin-contrib.
However, for plugins generated via nix (e.g. with writeShellScriptBin),
it tries to fix the paths in it which already point to the nix store,
ruining everything.
If extraAutoPlugins contains values that carry context (e.g. it comes
from a flake input), the keys generated from them using baseNameOf
inherit that context and the config doesn't compile.
This doesn't actually need to be an attrset anyways, so a bit of
internal refactoring lets us fix this without changing the visible API.
The new exporter has proper console scripts definition, that sets up
another executable name.
The package now also shells out to pidof, which is why we require procps
in the unit PATH.
