nixos/caddy: change acmeCA default to null
The nixos/caddy module is somewhat old by now
and has undergone quite some refactors.
This specific module option (originally named
`ca`) used to make a bit more sense when
Caddy did not have multiple ACME CAs as
fallback (LE & ZeroSSL) by configured by
default yet (ZeroSSL came with v2.3.0).

I also rephrased the description slightly,
to mention Caddy's automatic issuer fallback
and a note which this option maps to in the
Caddyfile, to provide a bit more context and
a more up-to-date recommendation.

Specifically that "fine-grained configuration"
section comes from a time when this module did
some custom tls/issuer config json merging
with the templated Caddyfile using `jq`.

The "The URL to the ACME CA's directory"
section is a word-for-word copy from the
official Caddy docs, which also include a link
to LE's docs to the referenced staging
endpoint. So I added that as well.

3.9 KiB

Release 23.11 (“Tapir”, 2023.11/??)

Highlights

  • FoundationDB now defaults to major version 7.

New Services

  • Create the first release note entry in this section!

  • acme-dns, a limited DNS server to handle ACME DNS challenges easily and securely. Available as services.acme-dns.

Backward Incompatibilities

  • writeTextFile now requires executable to be boolean, values like null or "" will now fail to evaluate.

  • The latest version of clonehero now stores custom content in ~/.clonehero. See the migration instructions. Typically, these content files would exist along side the binary, but the previous build used a wrapper script that would store them in ~/.config/unity3d/srylain Inc_/Clone Hero.

  • python3.pkgs.fetchPypi (and python3Packages.fetchPypi) has been deprecated in favor of top-level fetchPypi.

  • mariadb now defaults to mariadb_1011 instead of mariadb_106, meaning the default version was upgraded from 10.6.x to 10.11.x. See the upgrade notes for potential issues.

  • etcd has been updated to 3.5, you will want to read the 3.3 to 3.4 and 3.4 to 3.5 upgrade guides

  • himalaya has been updated to 0.8.0, which drops the native TLS support (in favor of Rustls) and add OAuth 2.0 support. See the release note for more details.

  • The services.caddy.acmeCA option now defaults to null instead of "https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory", to use all of Caddy's default ACME CAs and enable Caddy's automatic issuer fallback feature by default, as recommended by upstream.

  • util-linux is now supported on Darwin and is no longer an alias to unixtools. Use the unixtools.util-linux package for access to the Apple variants of the utilities.

  • fileSystems.<name>.autoFormat now uses systemd-makefs, which does not accept formatting options. Therefore, fileSystems.<name>.formatOptions has been removed.

  • fileSystems.<name>.autoResize now uses systemd-growfs to resize the file system online in stage 2. This means that f2fs and ext2 can no longer be auto resized, while xfs and btrfs now can be.

Other Notable Changes

  • The Cinnamon module now enables XDG desktop integration by default. If you are experiencing collisions related to xdg-desktop-portal-gtk you can safely remove xdg.portal.extraPortals = [ pkgs.xdg-desktop-portal-gtk ]; from your NixOS configuration.

  • A new option was added to the virtualisation module that enables specifying explicitly named network interfaces in QEMU VMs. The existing virtualisation.vlans is still supported for cases where the name of the network interface is irrelevant.

  • services.nginx gained a defaultListen option at server-level with support for PROXY protocol listeners, also proxyProtocol is now exposed in services.nginx.virtualHosts.<name>.listen option. It is now possible to run PROXY listeners and non-PROXY listeners at a server-level, see #213510 for more details.
