Adds /dev/disk/by-{id,label}/* symlinks for bcache device nodes, in the
final rootfs.
Symlinks will only be created for bcache devices that contain
filesystems. So if you have a blank bcache device or run LVM on top of
bcache you will not get this kind of symlink.
Or else `services.udev.packages = [ bcache-tools ]` cannot be used.
To not break bcache in the initrd I'm modifying this in stage-1.nix:
- --replace /bin/sh ${extraUtils}/bin/sh
+ --replace ${bash}/bin/sh ${extraUtils}/bin/sh
Reasoning behind that change:
* If not modifying the /bin/sh pattern in any way, it will also match
${bash}/bin/sh, creating a broken path like
/nix/store/HASH-bash/nix/store/HASH-bash/bin/sh in the udev rule file.
* The addition of /bin/sh was done in 775f381a9e
("stage-1: add bcache support"). It seems somewhat plausible that
no new users have appeared since then and we can take this opportunity
to back out of this change without much fear of regressions.
If there _are_ regressions, they should be in the form of build time
errors, not runtime (boot), due to how the udev rule output is checked
for invalid path references. So low risk, IMHO.
* An alternative approach could be to copy the /bin/sh substitute rule
over to the non-initrd udev rules implementation in NixOS, but I think
this way is better:
- The rules file comes with a working path out of the box.
- We can use more precise pattern matching when modifying the udev
rules for the initrd.
The default font is unreadably small on some hidpi displays. This
makes it possible to specify a TrueType or OpenType font at any point
size, and it will automatically be converted to the format the Grub
uses.
This adds configuration options for the bind package so that the
interfaces that bind listens on can be configured rather than just
hardcoded as any. The default values preserve the old behavior to be
backwards compatible.
* Create "full.pem" from selfsigned certificate
* Tell simp_le to create "full.pem"
* Inject service dependency between lighttpd and the generation of certificates
Side note: According to the internet these servers also use the
"full.pem" format: pound, ejabberd, pure-ftpd.
Restructure the nixos-artwork to make it easy to selectively
incorporate other components from upstream without needing to download
the full package.
Until now only the Gnome_Dark wallpaper was included. Add other
wallpapers available in the package repository.
* postgresql service: make 9.6 the default version for 17.09
* postgresql service: change default superuser for 17.09
Change the default superuser from `root` to `postgres` for state
version 17.09
* postgresql service: change default data directory for 17.09
The new directory includes the schema version of the database.
This makes upgrades easier and is more consistent with other distros.
* updated nixos release notes
While systemd suggests using the pre-defined graphical-session user
target, I found that this interface is difficult to use. Additionally,
no other major distribution, even in their unstable versions, currently
use this mechanism.
The window or desktop manager is supposed to run in a systemd user service
which activates graphical-session.target and the user services that are
binding to this target. The issue is that we can't elegantly pass the
xsession environment to the window manager session, in particular
whereas the PassEnvironment option does work for DISPLAY, it for some
mysterious reason won't for PATH.
This commit implements a new graphical user target that works just like
default.target. Services which should be run in a graphical session just
need to declare wantedBy graphical.target. The graphical target will be
activated in the xsession before executing the window or display manager.
Fixes#17858.
* tinc: Mention in docs that the host name may not be used verbatim.

* tinc: also replaces non-alphanumeric characters.
OVMF{,CODE,VARS}.fd are now available in a dedicated fd output, greatly
reducing the closure in the common case where only those files are used (a
few MBs versus several hundred MBs for the full OVMF).
Note: it's unclear why `dontPatchELF` is now necessary for the build to
pass (on my end, at any rate) but it doesn't make much sense to run this
fixup anyway,
Note: my reading of xen's INSTALL suggests that --with-system-ovmf should
point directly to the OVMF binary. As such, the previous invocation was
incorrect (it pointed to the root of the OVMF tree). In any case, I have
only built xen with `--with-system-ovmf`, I have not tested it.
